Every home should have one.

[Drabarni]

I'm doing a Christmas present for ds and partner, just moving into their new home.

I need some suggestions on the line of every home should have one.

Scissors, torch, batteries, candles, first aid kit, basic sewing kit, DIY tape measure and hammer.
I'll be spending about £100 in total.

One of those wee triangular keys for opening the electricity meter box

Radiator key
Matches
Teabags

Personalised Christmas decorations/baubles 'Topsy & Tim's' first Christmas sort of thing?

Fire blanket & extinguisher.
First aid kit
Allen key set
Bucket
Drain unblocked
Pens
Small chalkboard/whiteboard to hang somewhere prominent for appointments etc
Numbers for decent local services: plumber, sparky etc

Sellotape

Groupon are selling a tool kit for under £20

Obviously 2 of these...

A pack of mixed amp fuses.

Cleaning cloths/Dish cloths.

Blimey @Winterdaysarehere is that the Kray twins. Good for security.

Chopping board
Potato ricer
Spare bulbs
Fuses
Screws
Candle lighter
Bin bags
Clothes
Washing up liquid
Scourers

I agree with a lot of PPs

Particularly 1st aid and fire extinguishers as most people are it the
' it will never happen to me so I don't need it camp'
Until it's to late.

Providing you know they have no allergies how about a load of cleaning stuff , kitchen, bathroom , floor, oven , etc . If your not sure about allergies then strong black bin bags , cloths, rubber gloves ( latex free )

I made a pack for myself and subsequently friends- first night / day box.

Tea coffee sugar long life milk
Biscuits for dunking , ginger nuts etc
Biscuits snacking clubs , penguins etc
Pot noodle
Paper plates plastic / wood cutlery

Frozen meals if your sure the frezzer is working or pack a bag with ice blocks and wrap well.
Toilet roll
Washing up liquid
Toilet brush > hides from glares <

kitten

Hot water bottle ( aka kitten ) as empty houses are a bugger to get warm .

Booze

kitten food

A offer to help get rid of all the packing materials ( if you have a car )

Xpost with @Winterdaysarehere lol

Ikea do a rechargeable torch that comes on in the event of a power cut.
At £8 a go you can do a couple for upstairs & downstairs.

Mop and bucket, maybe one of those modern slimline ones that take up less space?

WD40

Laundry/washing baskets!

I came on to say a cat. Not sure I'm in the right frame of mind for this practical thread. . Lovely idea, OP.

A step ladder. Or better still one of those telescopic ladders that extend really high. DH and I are forever borrowing our DIY King neighbour next door's stuff. I covet one of those ladders.

Herb / spice rack with all the basic common jars, and salt and pepper grinders

Double adapters
Potatoes peeler
Egg cups
Cake slice
Pizza cutter
Clothes pegs
Toilet brush
Tupperware
Wine bottle stoppers
Ironing cloth
Serving bowls

I do think that its a very sweet and thoughtful idea - provided the recipient really wants this.
If it was me, I'm sorry to say, I would absolutely hate this kind of gift mainly because when you have your new home, there might be something lovely they have their eye one like a lovely mirror for over the fireplace or a particular print/painting to frame and hang in the hall way.. if there was £100 on offer I'd much rather have the option of using that to put towards something beautiful. That would be something that would be more memorable for them and they'd remember it was from you.
If its their first home they probably have all kinds of ideas for decorating in their own personal taste. I'd be a bit fed up with lightbulbs and WD40, etc and it is so many bits and pieces. Sorry

A basic (or not so basic) sewing kit. For those pesky buttons etc...
Good chopping board
Sturms
Bottle opener (preferable one of the combinations one that open wine, beer bottles and cans..)
A first aid kit
Stovetop coffee maker
A super large / extra warm blanket
Good casserole dish
Tea kettle
Water pitcher
Pastel and mortar

Budgie!

I second the Ikea toolkit with the multi-tip screwdriver as invaluable and easy/space saving to store in it's box.

The Muji cleaning system is also great and another spacesaver - one telescopic handle that clips onto a microfibre mop heads/glass cleaner/brush (with dustpan)/duster/carpet lint remover or they can be used without the handle eg to clean mirrors/clothes etc. It's also about as stylish as you can get for a mop

My mum did me a box of kitchen bits that you take for granted always being in the cupboard. Stuff like salt, pepper, bottles of condiments, basic spice rack, cooking oil, vinegar, flour, teabags, sugar etc.
