After my divorce, I still have someone to fight with! All kidding aside, Alexa is a fantastic control hub for music, turning on lights hands free, weather and calendar information and answering questions.

WHAT I LOVE: Easy to use, hand free operation of lights and devices. Easily paired to smart bulbs and smart plugs.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: I find myself screaming at her when she doesn't respond correctly. Certain voice commands are occasionally mistaken for others - this is the type of spouse I attract and it's not good.

Night after night at my new home, I was getting bit up by mosquitos. On a whim I ordered a Thermacell through Amazon. Seriously the best purchase ever. Be sure to stock up on refills and fuel. One fuel cartridge lasts about 4 hours.

WHAT I LOVE: Ease of use, no more mosquitoes.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: The ignition light is almost impossible to see and it's easy to forget to turn off, burning through fuel cartridges.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #2
Thermacell mosquito repellent lantern, refills and patio shield.

Thermacell's shield patio shield, lantern & refills    View on Amazon

Florida evenings are magic. But those pesky mosquitos can turn paradise into a nightmare. The Thermacell Mosquito Repeller doesn’t just keep bugs away - it gives your friends and loved ones the freedom to truly every evening on the patio without itching or swatting. Thermacell is my favorite mosquito repeller. I use it religiously for my evenings outside. It's been a life saver for peaceful, uninterrupted moments allowing me to relax and enjoy the moment.

 

 

 

Whew, now that the big move is over... let's drink to that.

WHAT I LOVE: Perfect gift, shows thoughtfulness.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Encourages drinking and we might have to unpack boxes with a hangover tomorrow.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #3

I love my UE Boom speakers. The range is great, and there are accessories to mount them to bikes, golf carts, etc. I find myself hiding the speakers in bushes by my street, cueing up sound effects on www.Pond5.com, then hitting "play" when unsuspecting pedestrians stroll by.

WHAT I LOVE: Great sound in a small package. Some of these speakers are water resistant and great for the pool and beach. Others have LED lights that bounce to the music that are pretty cool. Easy to hook up to iPhone or Andriod phones.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Many speakers require a 3rd party app to connect multiple speakers or to play them in stereo.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #4
UE Boom and other bluetooth speakers. Big sound from a wireless speaker.

Moving into a new place is a big deal — and what better way to celebrate than sharing a bottle (or two) with friends? A wine cooler keeps every pour at the perfect temperature, whether it’s a casual glass after work or a full-blown Friday night gathering. It’s a gift that says, “Your home is beautiful… and so is this Pinot.”

WHAT WE LOVE: Keeps wine at the perfect temperature. Looks impressive. Some of the coolers have a section for beer.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: A wine fairy. A wine subscription. Or a sommelier should be included with the cooler. Wine is always taunting to be opened and therefore needs replenished more often.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #5
Dual zone wine coolers for red and white wine.

A Toast to New Beginnings   View on Amazon

Celebrate your favorite new homeowner in style with a gift that’s as practical as it is classy. A wine cooler keeps every bottle at the ideal temperature, turning casual evenings and special occasions into something unforgettable. Perfect for Florida’s warm climate and even warmer gatherings.

 

 

 

OK! It's not what you think. But how cool is this? Imagine growing your own herbs right in your very own new house? What could be better. No... Noooo....

WHAT I LOVE: Fresh herbs, great for meal prep and saving bucks on not buying at retail prices.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Neighbors are spreading rumors. I'm growing basil people. In the words of Jimi Hendrix "Come and dig my herb".

Affiliate Pick of the Week #6
Indoor herb garden with integrated grow lights.

Fresh Flavor Year-Round - Indoor Herb Garden   View on Amazon

Bring the taste of the garden indoors with an herb-growing system that thrives in any season. Integrated grow lights make it easy to nurture basil, cilantro, mint, and more — no green thumb required. Perfect for new homeowners who love cooking fresh, flavorful meals without ever leaving the kitchen.

 

 

 

Because every new homeowner needs to know about impending doom. One day you're sitting in your beautiful home, and the next - a pile of rubble. But hey, at least they have you to thank for keeping them in good hands after all that.

WHAT I LOVE: Conveniently packaged. The men love it, so it leaves time for us girls to examine the wine gifts and cute stuff.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Just not having storms.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #7
Doomsday survival emergency kit.

Storm ready - Survival tactical prep kit   View on Amazon

Safety comes first when living in the Sunshine State. A well-stocked hurricane survival kit provides essential supplies — from flashlights and batteries to first aid and emergency food — all in one grab-and-go package. It’s the ultimate peace-of-mind gift for any new Florida homeowner facing storm season.

 

 

 

Personally I have the Blink system installed at my house, but my kids swear by the Ring devices. The highlight of my week (or night, very late night) was when my camera caught an owl landing on my Harley, turned his head and his eyes lit up like glow sticks. Eerie but cool. I shared the clip on Facebook and it went viral. Also works well on non avian intruders.

WHAT I LOVE: Pairs with smart devices, iPhones, Androids and Amazon Alexa products.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: Battery operated cameras (outdoor remote cameras) don't last long if they are in high traffic areas.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #1
Blink and Ring devices - doorbell and security cameras.

See Who's There When You're Not Home   View on Amazon

Keep your home safe and your mind at ease with Blink and Ring’s easy-to-use video doorbells and security cameras. Get instant alerts, crystal-clear video, and two-way talk right from your phone — whether you’re at home, at work, or halfway across the world. Simple to install and built to withstand Florida’s weather, they’re the perfect blend of convenience and peace of mind for any homeowner.

 

 

 

I bought a set of these after self shaming myself at the community pool with ratty bath towels. They're huge, colorful and don't take up a ton of space.

WHAT I LOVE: Lightweight, colorful, absorbent and comes with a handy zip up case.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: You'll need towel bands or towel clamps to keep the towel from blowing off your lounge chair. If you are constantly jumping in and out of the water, the towel will become a wet noodle of coldness.

Affiliate Pick of the Week #9
Microfiber beach towels.

Stay Sand-Free and Stylish    View on Amazon

Lightweight, quick-drying, and easy to pack, microfiber beach towels are a Florida essential. They repel sand, soak up water fast, and fold down small enough to toss in any beach bag. Perfect for pool days, seaside escapes, or spontaneous picnics, they keep you dry and comfortable while looking effortlessly coastal.

 

 

 

There's no better way to tell a new homeowner to get screwed than when you give the gift of a new Ryobi and some drill bits. If your friends already have a drill, guaranteed it's packed in a box that they didn't label. And even if they find it, there's no way it's as cool as this bright green and black tool of amazement.

WHAT I LOVE: I always keep a few batteries charged because they fit all my Ryobi tools, including my lawn mower and my all time favorite - the chainsaw.

WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED: I have no suggestions for improvement. This is nearly perfect - if only it could do the actual drilling, screwing, hanging, fixing - then we'd be looking at the holy grail of tools. Maybe throw in Jason Mamoa into the kit?

Affiliate Pick of the Week #10
Ryobi drill, batteries, charger, drill bits and impact wrench.

Power Up Every Project with Ryobi    View on Amazon

From quick fixes to major makeovers, the Ryobi Drill Set is the ultimate tool for any new homeowner.

Hello Denise - gift-giving can be challenging for some.  Your list will hopefully help those who may not be so aware of the present situation of new homeowners.

Anything that might reduce the number of mosquitos would be my choice. Nice post.

Good morning, Denise... an interesting list. I, myself, never give gifts you can consume... they eat it or drink it and then forget about you. I like gifts that have longevity and remind people of me.

Denise, I really like the idea of the mosquito repellent gift, or the outdoor speakers for certain clients.
