Gift cards and they can buy whatever might be needed.
I actually do not give gifts to anyone at closing.  Maybe a good bottle of wine or a gift card to a restaurant.  I am typically commercial real estate so I may be a little less generous.  My clients get the benefit of strong returns on their investments. 
It all depends on the client. I may try to find something to fit a hobby of theirs or a nice print or charcuterie board with their name engraved on it.
The gift, no matter what you call it, should be tailored to each individual client based on your relationship with them.
I give Lowes and Home Depot gift cards. 
I give a SOLAR Pink Flamingo at the signing of agreement. It take 3-4 months to install but the Flamingo is vigilant!
I usually give a knife set from Cutco with my name on it
It depends on many things.  I do it because I want them to know I appreciate their business
Depending on the cost of the property, and if any credits were given from me.... otherwise, usually a Bed , bath gift card to help the new homeowner out.
