Housewarming gifts for the new homeowner on your team

The big day has arrived: someone on your team has gotten the keys to their new home. This enormous leap forward deserves to be celebrated and the occasion well marked. Your team member will probably be thrilled, tired, excited, and maybe a bit daunted by their new undertaking. Show your support for this valuable member by helping to check off one or two of the many items they are sure to have on their to-buy list. A powerful and versatile new cleaning tool, practical woven basket or a sleek and modern new light fixture will help communicate the pride and joy you feel at their accomplishment. These invaluable and unexpected gifts will also help them save time and effort as they navigate the wonderful new world of home ownership.

Whichever gift option you choose, your team member is sure to deeply appreciate the thought and care you put into your gift selection. These items may not be the first ones one thinks of when one hears about a shiny new home, but there inlies their strength. A new cordless vacuum can alleviate the stress your teammate may experience when finding their old standby is just not up to the big new task, and impress them with its many cleaning capabilities. A supportive desk chair that eliminates back pain shows your care for their physical well-being, while a sleek new ceiling fan brings fresh breezes into their home. A boldly stylish light fixture may open up a world of design possibilities for your teammate, and an all-purpose basket might become the household workhorse they needed most. Any of these items would be a welcome addition to your teammate’s new home.

Are you an interior designer working with a client that dreams of the perfect barn door for their bathroom or bedroom? Have they talked to you about what they envision or are looking to elevate a door they already own? Do you and your clients want beautiful, quality products that are made to last and will accommodate different door widths? From door tracks, latch locks, faux hinges, handles, and more, we have five items and ways to upgrade any client’s barn door, add finishing touches, keep them happy, and give you rave reviews.

Give your clients everything they want and more. If a client desires a noiseless railing that holds up to 265 pounds, suggest the 9- or 13-foot durable sliding track kit.
