How much are you looking to spend? I would suggest something for the outside that the kids can play with.

*what about gift certificates-- whether it's an amex, grocery store, target. I know people think they are not very personal but she probably will need it. Plus maybe a basket full of relaxing items, for her Chat Icon

*maybe something for their backyard if they have one? Something they could enjoy together? a swing? a slide?

*tickets to the circus, I know it's not housewarming but I'm just thinking of family time.

* maybe make a basket full of things they could do together. movie night, snack night,roasting marshmallow night, picnic basket?

I don't think she has a backyard, or if she does its really small. Its a townhouse type place.

I like this too!! Otherwise, a gift certificate to a restaurant in their new town (eat-in or take-out!)

ETA: Maybe somehow compile some menus if you're familiar with her town (assuming she's in a new town) for take-out, since with 3 little ones I'm sure she'd like a night off from cooking!
