Finding first home gifts for him doesn’t have to be a chore. Here are 15 ideas under $50!
We don’t know about you, but thinking of first home gifts for our girl friends is easy-peasy compared to finding first home gifts for him.
What on earth do they actually need – or more importantly, want?
If you’re at a complete loss, we’ve compiled some of our fave finds – approved by guys, of course!
15 First Home Gifts for Him
LED Strip Lights
If there’s one thing (most) guys love to geek out on, it’s funky lighting. LED strips lights are a super cool addition to their new pad, bringing colour and personality to their space.
And the best thing? They can stick to almost any surface, whether that’s their ceiling for a swanky, penthouse-esque look, or the underside of their kitchen cabinets to create a fun and youthful vibe when hosting.
Steak Knives
Feeling like you have literally *no* idea what he actually wants for his first home? The safest bet is to go for a practical gift – and the kitchen is a great place to start.
Help him get the heart of the home fully kitted out with a collection of quality steak knives. Trust us, if it means he has one less thing to spend money on in those first few months, it’s a housewarming present he’ll love.

Cable Organiser
Whether behind their desk, their TV, or their gaming station, we can bet the homeowner will have an abundance of (messy and disorganised) cables. Don’t we all?
So, do him a favour and help him maintain a clean and tidy place with a cable organiser. It may seem like a lame gift, but again, the most practical are usually the most well received. And at least you can be certain they’ll be put to good use.
Couch Arm Table
This one’s a no brainer. Providing a sturdy place to lay snacks or drinks, an end-of-the-couch table isn’t a want, it’s a need. Must we say anymore?
Ergonomic Pillow
Comfort is key, right?
The unfamiliarity of living in a new place – especially if they’re by themselves – can take a toll on your sleep. That’s why gifting luxury bedding pieces is one of the most genius first home gifts for him.
Hardware Organiser
We guarantee they already have a toolkit in their arsenal, and if they don’t, they’ll have the basics at the very least. So, you can probably scrap that idea.
But do they have somewhere safe and secure to store their hardware? So, a wall-mounted cabinet provides a great place to keep them organised in their garage or basement.
Beanbag
There’s no better place to fully chill out than slouched on a comfy beanbag, right? Especially if you know they’re keen to have friends and family visit, it’s always handy to have an extra place to perch.
This one will set you back a little more than $50, but we reckon it’s worth it for someone you love.
Voucher
As a last ditch attempt to find a cool first home gift, there’s always the option of a voucher.
Load it up with money to spend at their favourite home stores – whether that be the DIY store or something a little more boujee. If one thing’s for sure, any budget is super tight when kitting out your first home, and a little extra spending money never goes amiss.
Filled Photo Frames
Looking for more personal first home gifts for him? Nothing’s sweeter than picking out your most cherished photos of you both and adding them to a few photo frames to make their new place officially feel like home.
Sphere Ice Cube Mold
If you’re not getting excited about a funky ice cube maker, maybe you’re in the wrong place.
Whether he’s into sipping whisky or he’s more of a cocktail kind of guy, a giant ice cube is the perfect finishing touch for any drink.
Bottle Opener
Again, kitchen gadgets never go amiss. If you’re looking for housewarming gifts for men that definitely won’t break the bank, a bottle opener always goes down a treat. Paired with a few bottles of beer and you can feel smug that you’ve provided the celebratory goods for the first night’s stay.
Charcuterie Board
Whether he’s a slap it on a plate and serve it kind of guy, or he takes pride in his cheese and biscuit presentation, a charcuterie board will make him look like a pro host from the get-go – despite it (probably) being his first rodeo.
Shaver Holder
Are they a sucker for organisation hacks? An electric shaver holder is the ultimate wall accessory for their new bathroom and makes their grooming routine completely effortless.
Beer Can Fridge Organiser
We always say: if you’re tight on space, go upwards rather than outwards. And when you’re trying to keep your fridge organised, this works a treat.
So, if they’re partial to a few beers, energy drinks, or soda, this organiser is perfect. Allowing cans to be stacked in a pyramid formation, it keeps them compact whilst stopping them from rolling around on the shelves. Consider it one of the most savvy first home gifts for him.
Remote Control Holder
Another super practical gift – and one they probably wouldn’t think to buy themselves – is a remote control holder. Great for keeping some of the most important household items in one place, their living space will always look tidy.
