    a gorgeous set of soft cotton towels or a kettle and toaster are ideal new home gifts. a Yankee candle is another great option, or maybe a vase or some bedding?

    I couple I know had there own home with all the essentials.
    I know that they both liked cooking so I brought them a Kenwood Prospero Compact.
    This has a large mixing bowel, 1.5 Litre acrylic liquidiser, 1.4 Litre food processor and citrus juicer.
    This model - Kenwood Prospero Compact KM265 4.3 Litre Stand Mixer is on sale on amazon.co.uk for stg £112.99 apox €140.
    They loved this as they said it something they would like to have brought but when moving into a new house they needed there cash for other things.

    Maybe a good quality pan set, they will after all be using it plenty and for many years.

    Or maybe a new washing machine/tumble dryer/dishwasher?

    the pan set is a good idea but i would like to get them something that they might not get themselves at this stage… something functional but nice too.. but the key is that they have to like it..

    i was thinking of a coffee table or something..

    When we moved into our house we had all the essentials and things I loved to receive where beautiful table lamps, statement mirrors or a retro style radio for the kitchen. also a great gift is some trendy knife sets or really good cutlery.

    you should get them one of these... Havent used it but it looks great http://www.beermachine.com/ would so purchase if we had more room.

    If twas me and I was looking for something.

    I would defo like a snassy kettle and toaster but then i would like to pick them myself. So unless you got them a few small things and then a voucher for somewhere. You could get odd bits like.

    If they like eggs - Get them a Beep Egg they rock and really do work.
    Nice set of Wine Glasses if they drink wine or beer glasses if tis beer.
    If then they would be drinkers, you cant go wrong with a nice set like a cocktail shaker with shot glassess or other fancy glasses for a variety of drinks.

    Toasty Cheese maker - can go fun style or just get a nice simple one.
    Other odd bits like garlic peeler, crusher, hand whisk either for making frothy milk for coffee or beating mix's and things like that. Pop them into a basket and bobs your uncle
