I seem to be the family member everyone calls when they need to know what to get for the newlyweds, or first time home buyers, or cousin going off to college.  My suggestion is usually the same for almost any occasion.  For guaranteed success in gift giving, I recommend a Dual Carafe Coffee Maker.  This is one of the most versatile gifts and will be one of the most appreciated!  Just imagine the occasions that it will be utilized.  The family Holiday gathering where half the adults want regular coffee and the other half wants or needs decaffeinated.  I’ve always felt badly about making one group compromise and have their least preferred.  With this gift, there doesn’t have to be a decision.
