As you finalize your Christmas gift list, don't forget your new homeowner friends. If they're like many homebuyers, they've spent a lot of time and energy finding the perfect home among beautiful Brighton homes for sale. 

As your friends prepare for their first Christmas in their new home, they deserve a nice gift to celebrate their success. Our REALTORS® did the research and compiled a list of great gift ideas for new homeowners. You can find them in your local stores or order them online to save time.  

• Keyless door lock
  When you give your friends a keyless door lock, they can install it themselves, save locksmith re-keying costs, and never have to worry about door keys again. You'll find an assortment of keyless locks at your local hardware store or visit GoKeyless for simple push-button keypad combination locks, digital keypad locks or connected smart locks.
  
  
• Small Kitchen Appliances in Trendy Colors
  If your friends are creative, artsy, or open to new color experiences, help them fill their empty kitchen counter space with small appliances in trendy colors. You'll find microwaves, toasters, mixers, blenders, and even an electric air fryer in ever-popular red and 1950s-era pink and aqua.
  
  Always colorful, KitchenAid offers an Artisan Series in Bird of Paradise, their 2018 Color of the Year. The line includes a food processor, immersion blender, hand mixer, and of course, the signature tilt-head stand mixer, all in a peachy-orange hue. Colorful appliances aren't for everyone, so manufacturers still offer them in less vibrant shades, stainless steel, and white.
  
  
• All-in-One Breakfast Maker
  If your friends have a small kitchen or need a little help keeping their morning breakfast routine on track, the Sharper Image All-in-One Breakfast Maker will help them stay organized and focused. Just as the name suggests, they can get breakfast going on a single appliance. It's a grill, a toaster oven, and a coffee maker all rolled into one. And because it's indeed a trendy appliance, it comes only in trendy red and aqua.
  
  
• The Gift of Maid Service
  After home-shopping, packing and moving, your friends are probably exhausted. They won't admit it but they could use some help cleaning the house. You can give it to them with professional maid service from a local or national business. Merry Maids is a Service Master company that's been around for decades. Merry Maids gift cards make it easy and convenient to give your friends a room, house, holiday, seasonal or other cleaning services.
  
  
• Home Tech Assistant
  The Echo Smart Speaker with Alexa and Google Home play music, answer questions, and entertain you. These next-generation home assistants also control lights, thermostats, and other smart home features with compatible connected devices.
  
  
• Security in a box
  When you buy your friends an all-in-one home security kit, they can install it themselves and have instant home security and monitoring for a low monthly fee. Systems like SimpliSafe provide real-time security company home monitoring via Internet-connected devices.
  
  
• Personalized Home Accessories
  You can help your friends accessorize their home with personalized home gifts from Etsy. You'll find personalized glass cutting boards, custom house portraits, and many other gifts. On Etsy, you buy directly from an artisan/creator.
