Rob,
Another great question. I have bought home owners warranties for buyers at closing, gift certificates, and even helped them move in.
There are two things that I have found that get the best response. Order a pizza for them the day that they move in. Pay for it over the phone and have it delivered to them. This is a very inexpensive gift but it goes a long way. When people move they are constantly going non stop and usually don't plan on dinner. They absolutely love it!
Also if you are able to take them to a nice dinner that really makes an great impression. Let them know that you appreciate they chose you to help them with their move. This strengthens the relationship with the client and helps build that client for life relationship that all REALTORS are searching for.
All the best,
