When someone gets a new home or a new apartment, it is
customary to get a gift for them. No matter what you purchase, it
always feels like you are got them the wrong gift. So that this does
not happen again, let us give you some house/apartment warning gift
ideas. The thing to remember is that if you get anything that is
meant to be displayed in the house, it needs to be a neutral color, unless
you already know the color scheme. Also if you do not really know
their taste, you need to get something traditional (e.g., house plant) or
disposable (gift basket).
Gift Ideas for a House/Apartment Warming:
-
Gift Certificates to stores that sell home &
garden items (Macys, Sears, Walmart, Amazon)
-
Gift Baskets (A basket of cookies, fruits or other
foods make a nice gift and after the items are eaten, the recipients
do not have to worry about keeping it or not)
-
House Plants (do not get anything too large, make
sure that no-one is allergic)
-
Picture frames (this is something that no-one has
enough of. You will be safe with a simple wood or silver frame)
-
A bottle of wine or champagne (this is a
"classy" way of christening the new dwelling)
-
Magazine subscription (on a subject the recipient
enjoys, or a home related magazine such as Home and Garden
would also be appropriate)
-
Antiques (ONLY if you know their taste, and you
only need to get a little knick-knack)
-
Flowers, Donuts or pastries on your way to the
house (as a last resort)
