New Homeowner's gift basket
My sister is closing on her first condo this week, and it needs a lot of work. For Christmas, I thought I'd get her a new homeowner's basket filled with things you always need for a new house. So far, I have...
- Paintbrushes (we are constantly buying them!!)
- Lightbulbs
- Wall hangers
- Home depot gift card
I have to mail it, so nothing too big. I figure I can walk up and down the aisles at Home Depot, but I want to hear what you guys needed in the first six months of home ownership. What else would you put in there?

We always get a fire extinguisher. It's not very romantic, but it is practical and an important thing that everyone should keep in the kitchen...
ETA: I totally missed the mailing part. Maybe order a fire extinguisher from Amazon and have it shipped? Of course that would defeat the purpose of a basket.
Ditto on everything, especially a level and a fire extinguisher (although that would be hard to mail!).
To go with paint brushes, how about a tube of nail hole patch, roller sleeves, blue tape, etc.
