Housewarning gift for single bloke - any ideas?

A pal has just moved into his own place. My standard house warming gifts are vases - but i usually give that over to the girl of the couple! Can you help me with some ideas for a guy on his own? Tia. He's 30ish...

Yes or cooking stuff. Or if there's a garden, a cool garden lamp or deckchair etc.

I would opt for kitchen stuff like glasses or coffee mugs!

Plant - green & leafy rather than flowery?
