Housewarming Gifts

We recently went to a Housewarming party and we put together a fun bucket of goodies for the new homeowners.  We tried to choose a variety of items that are used frequently when moving into a new home or are just nice to have around.

Housewarming Gift

What we included in our bucket:
- Maglite Flashlight
- Carabiner Style Bungee Cord
- Goo Gone
- WD-40
- Assortment of Nails/Hooks
- Nail Hole Filler
- Hand Soap
- Handmade Dish Cloths
- Tape
- Quick Card on a Paint Sample

Other possible items to include for a similar "basket" could be:
- Hammer or other small tools
- Extension Cord
- Level
- Gorilla Glue
- Paint Brush
- Surface Protectors








Some other possible Housewarming gifts:

Bottle of Champagne, to celebrate their new home

Pasta Night:  Colander, Pasta, Pasta Sauce and a Bottle of Wine

Oven Mitt filled with Kitchen Tools (wooden spoons, whisk, ice cream scoop, etc.)

Plant for Inside or Outside

Custom Return Address Stamp or Labels

Welcome Matt

A favorite item from a local store or Farmer's Market

You can never go wrong with a bottle of wine or flowers


Happy Champagne Thursday!

Cheers!

  2. I love this idea! The BEST graduation gift I received was a tool kit from my aunt, and I didn't appreciate it until I moved into the dorms, we did the same thing for Jeff's little sister and she said the same thing! I love the goo gone, that stuff is so helpful! We just went to a housewarming party and brought a croquet set, but I really like your idea!

  10. The craft of gift giving must accompany the longing to satisfy the beneficiary with the gift, to enjoy the determination of the gift, to keep the expense inside one's financial plan and implies, and to choose a gift that will be appreciated and utilized.gift boxes
