Gift Guide for New Homeowners
Folding Bed Tray: Serve breakfast with a side of comfort! A specialized serving tray with folding legs makes eating those delicious pancakes in bed as enjoyable as can be.
Monogrammed Cheese Board/Cutting Board: Who doesn’t love their own initials? A personalized gift (especially one that’s useful) is something that will always be cherished.
Candle: A candle may seem like a cop-out gift, but a wintertime aroma fills a home with endless comfort. The scents you love have powerful effects on your mind (and make you happy as can be).
Coffee Table Book: No coffee table is complete without the right book (we won’t judge if you never actually read it…) Get creative with different sizes, shapes, and colors for some fun flair.
Virtual Assistant: It’s never been easier to do many of your average, day-to-day functions. From playing music to controlling devices around the home, smart home assistants take convenience to a new level.
Key Holder for Foyer: If you’ve ever said to yourself, “uh oh, where are my keys?” — you’re certainly not alone. Key holders are the sweetest little addition to any Lennar foyer.
Cookbook: What signifies the holidays better than delicious food? A really great cookbook, whether featuring regional fare or international delights, is surely welcome in every Lennar kitchen.
Coffee Maker: Wake up and smell the coffee! When you’re in a rush, a personal coffee maker gives you that buzz you love from the comfort of your kitchen.
NutriBullet: In between all of those delectable holiday meals, a NutriBullet packs all of the benefits of your favorite fruits and vegetables into one. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to use.
From all of us at Lennar Philly Metro, happy holidays!
