Whether your client is a first-time homeowner, a seasoned buyer, or someone passionate about sustainability, you’ll find a meaningful, perfect closing gift that reflects your appreciation while supporting a greener planet. Let’s explore the best realtor closing gifts that your client will love and leave a lasting impact!
The Perfect Sustainable Closing Gift Bundle
When choosing realtor closing gifts for a new homeowner, it’s always a good idea to think about practicality—what items will they actually use in their new space? Moving into a home comes with a long checklist of things to buy, so why not surprise your client with an eco-friendly gift they’ll appreciate and use daily? At Mudd House Mercantile, we offer a variety of sustainable home goods that are perfect for putting together thoughtful, zero waste realtor closing gifts. These everyday household items not only help set up a new home but also encourage a more sustainable lifestyle right from the start. Here are a few that go great together in a housewarming gift basket.
Marley’s Monsters Reusable Duster: A Zero-Waste Product for a Dust-free Home
One of my absolute favorite sustainable cleaning tools is the Marley’s Monsters Reusable Duster. This eco-friendly duster is made with organic fleece, which naturally attracts and holds onto dust—no need for disposable, plastic-filled dusting cloths! What makes it even better? The fleece duster sleeve is completely removable and machine washable. Just toss it in the laundry on a cold wash cycle, tumble dry on low, and it’s ready for another round of dusting. I’ve been using mine for years, and it still works just as well as when I first got it!
This reusable duster is incredibly versatile and works on a variety of surfaces, from wood and metal to bamboo furniture, baseboards, and even those hard-to-reach corners of the ceiling. It’s a must-have for any home, making it an ideal addition to a sustainable house closing gift. Pair it with other plastic-free cleaning and household essentials from our zero waste shop to create a gift that’s both practical and eco-friendly—something your client will truly appreciate as they settle into their new home.

Kantha Dish Towels: A Vibrant & Thoughtful Addition to Realtor Closing Gifts
My sister and I absolutely love these towels, and we gift them all the time to friends and family because they make such a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind present. Each towel features a unique mix of vibrant patterns, making them as much a piece of art as they are a functional kitchen item.
What makes these dish towels even more special? They’re crafted from recycled saris in India, giving new life to fabrics that might otherwise go to waste. Handmade by a fair-trade company that supports women artisans, these towels are more than just eco-friendly—they empower women by providing fair wages and sustainable employment. Every Kantha dish towel carries a history, stitched together with care and tradition, making it a true conversation piece in any home.
Beyond their eye-catching patterns, these towels absorb water well and are durable, making them perfect for drying dishes, wiping down counters, or even using as a stylish hand towel. Unlike conventional dish towels that wear out quickly and a lot of the time made with polyester, Kantha towels get softer and more absorbent with each wash, ensuring they last for years to come.
If you’re looking for standout realtor closing gifts, Kantha dish towels are a fantastic choice. When buyers move into a new home, they often need to stock up on household essentials, and a beautiful, sustainable dish towel is something they’ll use every day. Pairing a Kantha towel with other eco-friendly products from our zero-waste shop—such as a bamboo dish brush or a bar of all-natural dish soap—creates a thoughtful, practical gift set that any new homeowner will appreciate.
By choosing Kantha dish towels, you’re not only giving a gorgeous and useful gift, but you’re also supporting sustainability, fair trade, and a circular economy. It’s a housewarming gift that brightens up any kitchen while making a positive impact!
