Needs Ideas for "Moving to Oregon"
My aunt's birthday is in Feb and she's moving here in July. For her bd I want to make a "moving to Portland" kit and need your ideas!
So far I have:
Moving to Oregon Newcomer's Guide
Nice reusable grocery sacks
Re: Needs Ideas for "Moving to Oregon"
A sigg water bottle (or other aluminum type)
Umbrella (I know "real Oregonians" dont' use them, but cheaper than a rain coat!)
I'd say a bottle of local beer, but I don't know if you are shipping it to her?
A Oregon Heart sticker.

Be sure to include a job in the kit-unless she's retiring. And a T-shirt that says "No, I am not from California"
Or else, she will get lots of indignant attitude
But we do need to get her that shirt... she IS from CA!
How about some fun local stuff?
local beer, local wine, local cheese, maybe some roses, something that she can grow that will work out fabulously here (blueberries? strawberries)
That's a great idea!

She had in it a cute book about all the great places to kiss in the NW, a map, an umbrella, some really cute earrings, then there were some gift certificates to Pix Patessiere and other fun Portland places. I can't remember what else.
I like the idea of the reusable grocery sacks!
