Housewarming gifts are hard. Candles and wine are nice, but they're gone in a week. Kitchen gadgets end up in a drawer. And a new homeowner already has a garage full of boxes they haven't unpacked yet.
One thing almost every new house needs, and almost nobody thinks to buy, is a clear, easy-to-read address. Old curb paint is usually faded, mailbox numbers are often peeling, and the numbers by the front door may be too small to see from the street. It's a small fix that pays off every time a pizza, a package, a guest, or an ambulance needs to find the house.
Quick list: Every gift below is under $35, made by hand in West Haven, Utah, and uses the same reflective material as road signs, so the numbers light up in headlights at night. Curb kit $25. Mailbox kit $25. Yard stake $30. Yard sign $35. House plaque $35.
1. Reflective curb number kit ($25)
This is the most popular gift. Most homes already have a spot on the curb for the address, and it's often the first thing to fade. Our curb kit swaps the old paint for reflective tiles that stay bright for years.
- Tiles for up to 5 digits, each 4" tall by 3.25" wide
- Weatherproof adhesive, an installation roller, and gloves
- Numbers come pre-spaced on transfer tape, so they go on straight
- Installs in about 10 minutes, with no paint and no mess
- Optional logo tile, like a flag, paw print, or favorite team
Best for: new homeowners with a curb out front, especially if the old numbers are faded or missing.
2. Reflective mailbox kit ($25)
If the house has a mailbox at the road, this is a quick upgrade they'll notice right away. Each number is its own reflective tile that shines back in headlights, so drivers can read it without slowing down.
- Same stop-sign-grade reflective material as our curb numbers
- Built for Utah weather: summer heat, snow, and everything in between
- Comes with everything needed and installs in a few minutes
- Tougher than stickers and longer-lasting than paint
Best for: homes with a roadside mailbox, rural properties, and anyone whose mail carrier or delivery driver keeps missing the house.
3. Reflective yard stake ($30)
Not every house has a curb. The yard stake stands 2.5 feet tall and has a step stake that pushes straight into the ground. There's nothing to dig and nothing to assemble.
- Road-sign-grade reflective numbers that light up at night
- Place it anywhere: by the driveway, the walkway, or the end of a long lane
- Optional custom logo for a personal touch
Best for: homes with long driveways, rural lots, HOA rules about curbs, or anyone who just wants a second spot that's easy to see.
4. Reflective yard sign ($35)
The yard sign is the most customizable gift on this list, and it makes a great personal housewarming present. It's a 12" x 12" sign on a sturdy 7-prong stake, standing 2 feet 9 inches tall.
- Printed on both sides, so it can be read from either direction
- Add the house number, the street name, the full address, or the family name
- Request a preferred font style
- Weather-resistant and easy to assemble
Best for: a gift that feels personal. A family name and address on a sign in the front garden is hard to beat.
5. Reflective house number plaque ($35)
For the front of the house, our plaque pairs a 3D-printed frame with reflective number tiles. It looks clean and modern by the front door, and it lights up when a car turns into the driveway.
- UV-resistant 3D-printed frame, 6" tall and about 1/4" thick
- Fits 2 to 5 digits, from 8.75" wide up to 18.5" wide
- Choose screws, outdoor adhesive, or mounting tape, so renters and new owners can skip the drill
- The tiles sit over the screws, so no hardware shows
Best for: stucco, brick, or siding by the front door, and anyone who wants a polished look.
Tips for giving an address kit as a gift
- Get the exact house number first. Every kit is made to order, so double-check the digits before you check out.
- Pick the spot that needs it most. A curb with faded paint? Get the curb kit. No curb? Go with the yard stake or the sign. A bare front wall? Get the plaque.
- Add a logo tile. A flag, a paw print, or their favorite team makes it feel like it was picked just for them.
- Bundle two together. A curb kit plus a mailbox kit is $50 and covers both spots drivers look first.
- Ship it to yourself, or straight to them. Either one works. Just be sure the address on the tiles is theirs.
Want it installed for them?
If the new homeowners live in Weber or Davis County, we can install it for them. It's a nice option for parents, grandparents, or a busy family who just moved in. See our professional installation page for details.
