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.
When 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
Gifts commonly given as housewarming presents include items such as candles, houseplants, doormats, books, and flowers. Other items may include hanging baskets, decorative lights, and other items intended for use in the garden.
There are several great items that can be given as a housewarming gift. A few gift ideas are towels, appliances, or gift cards.
Bread- So you never go hungry. Wine- So your life is always joyful. Salt- So there is always spice in your life. Candle- So you always have light.
A big ol' plate of cookies!
Welcome a new neighbor or someone special with an engraved address garden stone.

any good haitian housewarming traditions and/or gift ideas?
Good housewarming gifts for a woman in her 50's are homey things. Candles are popular (unless she has allergies!) and knick knacks are good too. If your mother likes frogs, get her a frog related wind chime, for instance.
A set of frying pans would be an excellent gift since people sometimes have a hard time finding their cutlery when they first move in.
You can buy some garden lights. These are helpful for viewing plants at nigh time and cost around $50.
* French people are like anyone else. A nice gift is a mixed basket (you can do it yourself or get it professionally done) with a bottle of good wine; fruits; cheeses and crackers wrapped in nice fancy saran wrap and a bow tied around the top. If you decide to do this and want to do it a few days before the housewarming put the basket and it's contents in a cool area or even the fridge. Other gifts could be nice candles or candle holders; modern place mats (bought at Pier 1 is your best bet) with napkins and napkin rings. Gift certificates are always welcome.
There are lots of kitchen appliances that make good housewarming gifts. A good gift is something that will not only be used and appreciated, but something that the receiver would want to use or was looking to buy.
The people who have just moved into their home generally have the Housewarming Party. You can ask the hostess if you can bring food. A gift can be anything from something for the kitchen, bathroom or any room in the house. You can also give them a gift certificate to a store that carries household items such as IKEA or Pier 1 Imports. A beautiful food hamper is a good gift. There could be wine, cheeses, crackers, cocktail nuts, etc. inside. Making up your own basket is even better because you get to give your friends a better selection of foods and wine. You can put the gift in a gift bag along with a card or wrap the gift and Scotch tape the card to the gift so it won't get lost. Some guest should write in each card what gift each guest brought so the host and hostess can send out thank you cards.
To see if the gift that they find is good.
Microsoft office online has some really cute housewarming templates. On websites like Zazzle, you can find good quality, but expensive, housewarming cards.
A good gift is a gift that someone loves. If you give a gift to someone and he/she appreciates it, then it is a good gift. Good gifts are also gifts that give meaning in a nice way. Bad gifts give rude meanings. Bad gifts surprise people and people seem irritated and feel uneasy with a bad gift. Gifts are given to be good gifts. Bad gifts are simply thrown away and never kept as part of people's lives.
Actually its "dont look a gift horse in the mouth". It means dont judge a present somone gave you. This came from when people gave horses as gifts. The gift horse was usually old, and you can tell a horses age by looking at its teeth.
It depends on who the person is. If your getting it for your sister or your mother it would be a good gift. Though maby not a good gift for your best mael friend
