10 men's new homeowner gifts no one knew they needed

Shopping for the best gifts for a new homeowner can be difficult. You want something unique and practical, but you don't want to grab something they already have or have no use for long-term.

What's more: new homeowners are typically going to be up to their eyeballs in boxes, so you'll want to ensure the gift you opt for is actually useful rather than burdensome; don't sweat it!

Below, we spoke to a handful of home improvement and culinary experts to get their insights on the most practical items that new homeowners might not realize they need.

Whether he's moving into his first condo or just purchased a sprawling country home, celebrate this new chapter with these foolproof gifts for new homeowners that men will love (and use!).

1. This smart home security system

Smart home security systems have become increasingly popular over the past few years, and it's easy to see why. The relatively inexpensive piece of tech is super easy to use and offers instant peace of mind (and, if we're being honest, a vehicle for viral memes). The Blink smart security system by Amazon will allow him to pair it with his smartphone and set it up wherever he wants to ensure added security and surveillance.

2. This versatile jack-of-all-trades kitchen appliance

"A Vitamix is a great gift for new homeowners," says Chef Anja Wolf, CEO, and creative director at I Love Cookware. "It's a versatile appliance that can make smoothies, soups, cold espresso frappes,  and even baby food. All you have to do is add your ingredients to the Vitamix and blend away." Although the Vitamix is significantly more expensive than a regular blender, it's going to be well worth the investment if you're shopping for someone who lives for smoothies and healthy homemade soups.

These are ideal for putting together furniture, hanging artwork or curtains, and even mounting a TV.
