Housewarming Gift

They have lived together for a few years now and just bought a house, so they have the normal things. And also just got engaged. Any ideas??  

Re: Housewarming Gift

  • You could do a traditional gift:bottle of wine, gift card to a Menards/Home Depot, a plant, welcome mat

     Or you could make a meal or do a basket w/ french bread, spaghetti sauce, noodles, etc.  It is hard work moving, and many times the last thing you want to do is go grocery shopping!

    Awesome ideas!  Also, and I know this goes along with the wine, but a bottle of prosecco would be great too.  Bubbles always equal celebration for me.

  • I just found this little housewarming poem,

    Bread - So you never go hungry.
    Wine - So your life is always sweet.
    Salt - So there is always spice in your life.
    And a Candle - So you always have light.

    I was thinking to make a basket of everything mentioned and put the poem on it, maybe include a Home Depot gift card. Good idea? Bad idea?

  • Oh that poem is cute!! I will have to use that in a couple months for my friend! Good find.  I think the basket and a GC to HD or Lowes is PERFECT!
  • What about a personalized stamp from PSA Essentials?  We have one and love it.  We don't have the same last name so we have our first initials in the center.  They could always change it when they get married (they are peel and stick so you can change them out.)

     Totally agree!  I'd love to get this, so thoughtful.

    I think that this is a super cute poem!  I'm making a copy of it so I have it on hand.  Thanks for sharing!
