Re: House warming gift...
Usual types of things are a plant, or a bottle of wine or champagne, or something else for the house (a picture frame, vase, nice bowl, etc...)
How close are you with the person and how much are you looking to spend?

Re: House warming gift...
I found Yankee Candle items to be nice to give, they have some nice baskets.

I like to buy people Orchids, the flowers last forever and they come back to life after they die.

Re: House warming gift...
things people brought me:
Tool Set
PLants
Wine and Champagne
Lenox serving dish
Home Depot Gift Cards
Summer Outdoor "glasses"
Home Basket- with holiday decorations, magnets,dish towels...etc
Money
Other ideas:
Blockbuster gif card with popcorn and candy
Scrapbook with materials for a new house -so they can start a scrapbook for the house
Restaurant GC-since $ might be tight when they first move in
Take Out menus for restaurants in the area -and some sort of box/folder something to put it in
Recipe book with the ingredients for one of the meals or desserts

Our best house warming gift was folding chairs.

Re: House warming gift...
My mom always gives a gift basket with some of the more traditional gifts and a little saying depending on what she put in it:
Broom - Sweep away the evil; Your house will always be clean
Salt - Represents life's tears that you will overcome
Bread - You will never go hungry
Candle - You will always have light
Honey - Represents the sweetness of life
Wine - Never go thirsty; Your home brings you happiness and joy
Coin - Bring good fortune for the year
Plant - You will always have life
Wood - Your life/home will always have stability, harmony and peace

GREAT idea.
best one I got so far is a Yankee Candle (the housewarmer - new home one) and a Home Depot Gift Card.
or since its getting nice out - target has nice plastic pitchers & Glasses
