Know someone who will soon be making their dream of homeownership come true? It's a pretty special time in a person's life, might be a good time to start thinking of a good housewarming present. Here a few ideas we hope might help!
Flowers could be nice too…
-Cleaning Supplies
It's all too easy for things like cleaning supplies to be lost or used up when you are in the process of moving only to arrive in your new home and discover you don't have what you need. That's why we think a basket of cleaning essentials is always welcome. Try to keep it simple with products that don't have a lot of harsh chemicals or fragrances. That way, if they have chemical sensitivities, they can still use the cleaning supplies.
-Dinner
Sometimes cooking is the last thing a new homeowner might want to do. It could be as simple as making them a special meal or a gift certificate to a restaurant you know they like.
-Kitchen Items
Who doesn't like something new for the kitchen? The great thing is it can be simple, like a great spatula or something personalized for their new home. One website we like for kitchen items is uncommon goods. They have a wide range of unique kitchen items. There's almost always something interesting to see on their website. A word of warning, don't buy anything too large or decorative unless you are sure they will love it. It can be hard to get a present, like a big, framed picture. It may not go with their decor or suit their taste.
-Gift Cards
A fun idea might be to get gift cards or certificates to shops that are close to their new home, places like the local nursery, or hardware store. By keeping it local, it might just help them to connect to their hometown.
Those are just a few ideas to get you started.
