The purchase of a new house opens up many gift possibilities. With savings accounts drained from down payments and closing costs, an appropriate gift might include the services of a professional landscaper to design a special family space outdoors. (Depending on your price range, this could be scaled down to a consultation or limited space.)

Or, how about hiring a decorator for a few hours to help arrange the furniture and accessories in the new house?

Employ the services of a handyman to hang blinds and curtains, install new locks on doors, or to construct extra shelves in the closets.

A security system or burglar alarm might be appropriate.

Frame an enlarged photograph of the recipient's house or commission an artist to paint a house portrait.

To the recipient who has moved to a new community, you might wish to give one of the following

Family membership to a private club or community pool
Enrollment in a children's museum program
A subscription to the local paper
Season tickets to a local concert series, sports event, or community theater
Stationery or change-of-address cards with the homeowner's new address
Passes to a nearby amusement park
A gift certificate from one of the area stores or restaurants

Less expensive gifts include single-event tickets to the above.
