Often, they will need a few things to help them out, perhaps because it is their first home and they do not have a lot of things or because they have had to spend out a lot of money and will not be able to treat themselves. There are lots of things that you could potentially get them but you may feel rather overwhelmed and not really sure of what to get. Therefore, we have put together a useful list of items that you can pick from so that you can get some ideas.
