I've always like receiving Islamic art with surah's on it. framed or unframed doesnt matter. You will also receive blessings each time the person reads it

I would give them a gift card to a decoration store, like here in US we have Macy's, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn..etc. That way they can buy an item of their choice.
But if you want to give a gift, maybe a nice simple vase, a tray, a dish set, a cute nice wall hanging...but nothing over the top as everyone has their own choice...include a gift receipt in case they may need to exchange

it deoends on the people as well. its the second time around so theya re not first time homeowners. Knowing desis in general, they probably have eberythign they need, a lot they dont need and probably boxes full of stuff they received as gifts.
Unless you know the people and their style very well, dont give decor, even if it is something that works with their style, maybe they dont have room for it or like it but like other things more.
I say go with perishables, flowers, a basket of goodies..could be snacks, or could be stuff like lotions, potions slats and what nots for bath, aromatherapy. (but then that again depends on what they are like)
or just a gift certificate to a store they like.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that... he is gone.

i agree with fraudia. give them a gourmet food basket and/or a nice bunch of lilies. or if they're the sort that'd rather get something they can add to the decor give them some unique keepsake made of sterling silver.

since its thier second home id prob say they have all basic home items. maybe a nice painting to hang on the wall or a Gift certif to a nice home store. id either ask what they need or if u dont wnat to do that....a gc might be a good idea and just write in the card u prob have tons of stuff and dont want to get u a repeat item that u cant use so choose something of ur liking. they will surely appreciate that more.
