   A quirky savings jar or home deposit fund tracker makes saving more fun (and visible). Every penny counts when aiming for that first home.
2. Budget Planner or Financial Journal:
   Help them stay on top of their finances with a stylish budget planner. Pair it with a good pen for added thoughtfulness.

   Gift cards for DIY stores, homeware shops, or even grocery stores are practical and much appreciated when moving day comes.

 

For the Practical Planners

1. Homeowner Toolkit:
   A basic toolkit with essentials like a hammer, screwdriver set, and measuring tape is a practical gift that future homeowners will thank you for when DIY jobs start stacking up.
2. DIY and Home Improvement Books:
   Inspire creativity with books on DIY, home decor, or even how to create the perfect garden - perfect for a first-time buyer preparing for their new space.
3. Smart Home Gadgets:
   Smart plugs, energy-efficient bulbs, or a budget-friendly smart speaker can help them save money on energy bills and add tech flair to their future home.

 

For the Sentimental and Thoughtful Givers

1. Custom Housewarming Decor:
   Personalised signs, custom doormats, or framed prints of their future neighbourhood add a personal touch that feels like home.
2. Memory Scrapbook for the Journey:
   A scrapbook where they can document milestones like viewing homes, saving wins, or even moving day memories.
3. Homemade ‘Future Home’ Vouchers:
   Create vouchers for services like helping with moving day, painting sessions, or even a homemade meal when they finally move in.

 

For the Financially Minded Givers
