House-warming

Whats a good house-warming gift? Should it depend on the person who's throwing the house-warming, ie, house owners? I guess in a way it should since it depends on what the person has/owns and what he/she needs. I always thought kitchen appliances would be a good idea and/or some cool display sets which can be used as well, like a fancy bowl set for parties, some decor around the house.
Of course, chinese parents tend to think differently. Get things that are useful and can be used, which does not include decor stuff. hehe... maybe they are right. How do you know what their tastes are, unless you know them pretty well?
2 house-warming coming up. Well, one I cannot make, the other... dunno if its really happening.
I need to get my own place.
Chums, if you are reading this, get well sooon. Take care in Jpn. :)
