Housewarming Gift Suggestions?

Joanis018 · May 2012

A coworker/friend is moving into her first "big girl apartment" and wants to start over with all new furniture. She's asked me to help her decorate and we've been having lots of fun with that.

I wanted to get her something that she wouldn't normally buy herself that could be a cute decorative item.

I was looking at aprons at Anthro and a cute hook for her kitchen, or cute kitchen utensils...

Any and all suggestions welcome. Links are bonus points

maybe a bath mat and shower curtain?

I like the kitchen apron with utensils idea. The bathroom stuff is OK but only if you really know what she would like. Personally I always like giving potted plants as housewarming gifts. I could be anything from some small pots with herbs for a kitchen window or a foxtail fern in a glossy white pot or a fiddlehead fig tree (very popular in designer rooms right now...I hope to have one someday).

When we relocated, we had a friend who lived in that neighborhood. As a house warming present, she gave us a basket filled with the take out menus from good restaurants in the area.

I like the idea of getting her something cute from Anthro. We just moved and with all the expenses it's hard to justify "cute" spending, but it would be nice if someone did it for me so I could love it without feeling guilty.

Since you are helping her decorate and know her style I think anything would be great. I've done throw pillows for a couch and placemats before. When i know their taste.
