Treat yourselves to some fizz to celebrate finally making it. Pink is perfect for drinking anytime of the day, and this is a really reasonable one. It's not champagne but it's from the team at Bollinger so brings you all their expertise without the price tag! So treat yourselves to at least half a case, as you may have a few well-wishers or two dropping by.

No point having something lovely to drink if you've only got plastic cups to drink it out of! Order yourselves a couple of gorgeous champagne flutes to make sure that first drink in your new home is memorable. We love this pair designed by Jasper Conran for Waterford Crystal. Stylish and luxurious, a real treat for your first night.

Lets not get too serious. I mean, you could have some fun on that first night, so how about these glowing glasses for your tipple of choice! If you haven't sorted out your electricity and can't find the candles, then these could be ideal! You've heard of candle light, well, this is glass light!

In case the morning after the night before has a sore head, then treat you and your new home to a fantastic espresso machine. For baristas, and for us, there is no better domestic machine than the Gaggia classic. Not only looks good but produces darn fine coffee! Our weekends don't start till this machine is running!

If you want to mark the moment, you could make like the civic big wigs and plant a tree, then sit back and watch it grow. Hopefully. We love this Japanese Acer, it's not going to grow bigger than the house, and its very pretty looking, for a tree.

Start recording the before and after shots of your new home, not to mention the chaos you move into! Treat yourselves to something like this Sony Cyber-shot W80. Great looking and great results, to build great memories. Besides, you'll want to remember the awful decor you moved into!

Maybe after all that lugging and shifting, what you both will really need is a bit of pampering. Surprise your other half with a spa day for the two of you, for a bit of relaxation and TLC to sort out removal aches and pains. A moment of bliss, what a gift.

Immortalise yourselves onto canvas, to show the movement you arrived in this new home. Armed with your new digital camera, take a shot to remember and then get it printed up. Size to suit, from discreet to a whopping 1 metre square version of yourselves.
