Gifts for new homeowners

Rated for the fires a house actually has: paper and wood, flammable liquids, and electrical. It's rechargeable, so it can be refilled after use instead of thrown out. Every kitchen should have one, and plenty of new homes don't.

Carbon monoxide has no smell, and an older house with a gas furnace or an attached garage is exactly where it shows up. This one plugs into an outlet and keeps working on a 9V battery when the power goes out. Put one near the bedrooms.

Nine sensors light up the whole width of the stud at once, so there's no sliding it back and forth and guessing. It also warns about live wires before anyone drills into one. The TV, the shelves and the curtain rods all start here.

Three sensors that sit under the water heater, the washer and the kitchen sink, and send a phone alert the minute they get wet. A leak caught on Tuesday costs a lot less than one found on Saturday. It needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

A houseplant for people who've never kept one alive. Snake plants put up with low light and a few weeks of being forgotten. The $79 version comes in a planter, so it goes straight onto the windowsill.

They can see who's at the door from their phone and keep an eye on packages while they're at work. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so there's no doorbell wiring to fight with. Saving video takes a paid Ring plan.

Two batteries, a charger and a drill that'll hang every picture in the house. The battery fits more than 300 other RYOBI tools, which makes every gift after this one easy.

Find out when the moving truck shows up and have dinner delivered to the new address that night. Nobody can find the pans yet.
