The holidays are here, and if you’re like me, you’re already making your list and checking it twice—but this time, with gift ideas for real estate agents who want to show appreciation to clients!

Giving your real estate clients a gift over the holidays is a great way to stay top of mind (right before they see their friends and family over the holiday season) and to thank them for the opportunity to work together. And thoughtful gifts don’t have to come with a hefty price tag either! 

Here are 12 holiday gift ideas for real estate agents all below $100:

Cozy and Thoughtful Gifts for the Home

There’s something special about giving your clients a gift that adds a little extra coziness to their home—after all, you helped them find it! These thoughtful, home-centered gift ideas for real estate agents are especially perfect for spreading some warmth and cheer during the holiday season:

Candles

Candles are always a foolproof gift idea for real estate agents since they’re a general crowd-pleaser that doesn’t break the bank. (Plus, your clients will think of YOU every time they light it. 😘)

A high-quality candle with a warm, seasonal scent is always a win. Look for options like cinnamon spice, pine, or vanilla bean to bring that holiday vibe into their home. 

Pro Tip: Choose candles in stylish jars or reusable containers that can double as decor long after the holidays are over!

Plush Throw Blankets

Nothing says warm and cozy quite like a soft throw blanket! I recommend choosing a neutral design that fits a variety of decor styles, or pick a seasonal pattern for a festive touch. 

Bonus points if you pair it with a handwritten note encouraging your clients to take a break from the holiday hustle and curl up on the couch. 

Hot Chocolate or Coffee Set

Who doesn’t love a cup of coco around the holidays? Pair holiday hot chocolate mix or locally roasted coffee beans with a festive mug or two, and you’re good to go! 

Pro Tip: Consider including a cute “home sweet home” mug for an extra nod to their real estate journey with you.

Mini Potted Plants or Succulents

Small plants are a cute, low-maintenance gift idea for real estate agents to add some life to your client’s home! I recommend choosing a mini succulent or small potted herb and pair it with a handwritten note that says something like, “Thanks for letting me help you plant roots in your new home!”

Edible Treats for Every Taste

Next on the list of holiday gift ideas for real estate agents, we have something for our foodies! Edible gifts are always a hit during the holidays. These tasty options are perfect for showing your clients some extra appreciation while satisfying their sweet (or savory) tooth:

Gourmet Cookies

Does anyone else feel like gourmet cookies are the new donut? Head to your local bakery and see if they’re offering holiday gift boxes of cookies. This way, you can support a local business with your holiday gifting this year!

Charcuterie Boards

While a charcuterie board isn’t something that you can throw in the mail, this is a fan-favorite gift idea for real estate agents who live near their clients.These can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like—they don’t have to cost an arm and a leg, especially if you make it yourself!

If you choose to DIY, include things like gourmet cheeses, crackers, nuts, and dried fruits, nicely packaged for the season. It’s a sophisticated gift that’s perfect for holiday entertaining.

Holiday Trail Mix or Homemade Baking Mix

Impromptu family baking sessions are one of my favorite holiday activities to do with my daughter! Make a big batch of your favorite cookie or brownie mix, package it up with a holiday card, and you have a sweet and thoughtful gift to hand out to everyone on your list this year.

Pro Tip: Layer the dry ingredients for cookies or brownies in a mason jar, add a festive ribbon, and attach a recipe card. This DIY gift is both charming and practical—it’s a homemade touch without spending hours in the kitchen!

Local Honey or Jam Sets

Can you tell I’m passionate about supporting local small businesses yet? This year, try partnering with a local vendor to provide jars of honey or jam in festive flavors like spiced apple or cranberry orange. Pair them with a small cutting board or a loaf of bread for an extra little touch that doesn’t cost a lot of extra money.

Small Realtor-Inspired Gifts

I didn’t want to make this entire list of holiday gift ideas for real estate agents directly related to home buying/selling…but I couldn’t help myself! I HAD to throw in at least a few cute, on-brand realtor gifts for clients 😉

Custom Return Address Stamps

Nothing says “I’m an official homeowner!” like a custom return address stamp. Perfect for sending holiday cards or thank-you notes, this gift is both practical and personal. It’s a little detail that makes their new house feel even more like home—and saves them from handwriting their address a million times for Christmas cards.

Themed Cookie Cutters

Cookie cutters shaped like houses or keys are a sweet (pun intended) way to celebrate your client’s new home while getting into the holiday spirit. Pair them with a simple sugar cookie recipe and some sprinkles, and you’ve got a gift that’s equal parts thoughtful and tasty.

Mini House-Shaped Gingerbread Kits

What better way to celebrate a new home than by building a tiny, edible one? Mini gingerbread kits are not only a festive gift idea for real estate agents, but also a fun activity for the whole family!

Home-Themed Tea Towels

Find tea towels with holiday home-themed designs to add charm to your client’s kitchen without breaking the bank. Think fun sayings like “Home is where the cookies are baked” that they’ll love reaching for during the busiest baking season of the year.

The Gist

As you start checking off your holiday gift list, don’t forget the power of shopping small and supporting local businesses. Partnering with small business owners not only makes your gifts more unique and meaningful, but it also strengthens your community and your network. Now that’s the kind of holiday magic we love!

→ Is it appropriate for real estate agents to give gifts to clients?

Yes! Giving closing gifts is a common and thoughtful way to show appreciation to your clients—it’s like putting a bow on the amazing journey you shared! Just make sure your gift is purely a gesture of gratitude to stay compliant with the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).

→ What is an appropriate amount to spend on a client gift?

When it comes to budgeting for client gifts, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. While many agents spend 1% to 5% of their commission on closing gifts, holiday gifts don’t need to be as extravagant. A meaningful, well-chosen gift that reflects your client’s personality or adds a festive touch to their home will make a lasting impression.
