Eathier a type of food, like cookies or a nice cake.
___
Wine has always been a good choice for me, personally, when I'm bringing housewarming presents for friends. As mentioned above, food is also a practical item to give.
If you can afford it, and if you think the receiver needs it, you may also consider giving them a small household appliance like a coffeemaker or toaster, kitchen accessories like mini jars/dishes, or pieces of furniture like picture frames or vases.

∙ 13y agoWhen purchasing a housewarming gift for new homeowners, I think you should really think about your couple. There are so many options, but you want to make sure you purchase something appropriate for them. Did they live together before? If they already have had lived together for awhile, they might already have many household/kitchen items so you may want to steer clear of the more practical ideas.
If they will be entertaining more in their new home, perhaps something they can use like fun martini glasses, or serving plates. Plum Party has some great colorful entertaining goods. http://www.plumparty.com/Boutiques/index.shtml
You can also make them a basket like, a gift cert for dinner, nice bottle of wine, etc. They can enjoy a little relaxation after the stresses of moving.
Or perhaps, this is their first time having a yard? You can gear your gift towards outdoor entertaining or relaxing.
Many new Home Owners will need tools and supplies they may not haved needed when living in an apartment. The link below outlines some great gift ideas. http://blog.newhomesource.com/2010/12/10-great-giftideas-for-first-time-home-buyers.html#tp
