house warming gift?

H and I are going down to Nebraska for my sister's house warming party. Its not a typical house warming party. She bought a fixer upper a few years ago and its finally finished. It takes us about 5 hours to get there, and we're both possibly taking Monday off.

Should I get her a present or do you think the drive/time off of work is enough? Since she's been there a few years she has the place mostly decorated. I'd bring wine but she's not a huge wine drinker either. I'm bad about thinking outside the box.

 

Re: house warming gift?

  • I was going suggest wine.. But since that won't work, how about some nice chocolates or nice desserts? If it were me, I'd be ok going empty handed since I'd be driving five hours.

  • If you are going there just to go there I'd say no present. If it's specifically for a housewarming I'd grab something.

    I like to give white serving dishes because they usually go with everyone's colors. Target has some good ones. Mixing bowls with a rolling pin/wooden spoon/spatula is easy.

    Let's see...you could also do a "supplies" basket with random stuff like papertowels and swiffer stuff so she can clean her new house. 

    I'd probably just go to Target/Marshall's and see what catches your eye.

  • What about some potted flowers? She can keep them inside for a little while or she can plant them in her yard.

  • I woudl suggest having a floral arrangement sent to her house that she can use for the party. it doesn't have to be exensive...just something simple and classic and seasonal.
