Or nice olive oil/EVOO or champagne with a festive bow. Or a pretty candle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900782 Sun, 27 Oct 2019 17:31:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2900782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: I’m buying this for myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900723 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 19:33:57 +0000 charm55 2900723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought our new neighbours a Yankee Candle in the “Home Sweet Home” scent </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900718 Sat, 26 Oct 2019 18:39:24 +0000 Hypatia 2900718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always buy new homeowners one of my favorite books, At Home by Bill Bryson. It’s a history of the different rooms in houses through the ages. It’s a very cozy book that makes you appreciate being home. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/At-Home-Short-History-Private/dp/0767919394" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/At-Home-Short-History-Private/dp/0767919394</a></p> <p>I usually put it in a gift bag along with a bottle of moscato, a gift card to my favorite local restaurant, and a letter that mentions some of our favorite parks, activities, etc. if they’re new to the area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900692 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 22:44:07 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2900692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another cute idea is a personalized Christmas ornament celebrating the new home, etsy has lots of options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900681 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 21:34:53 +0000 JJ2626 2900681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stink at plants so wouldn’t want one as a housewarming. It would stress me out! I’d love fancy soap. Molton Brown is my favorite.</p> <p>ETA: also fancy olive oil/vinegar is a nice change from wine or champagne </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900679 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 20:25:30 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2900679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Plant is nice! Or nice champagne and a couple cute / unique champagne glasses is my go to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900671 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 19:21:51 +0000 jhd 2900671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I was thinking maybe nice kitchen towels and a nice hand soap for the kitchen. @Ajsmommy: maybe I need to go shopping for myself too lol we don’t have matching place settings and table linens :silly: I love dishes but I’m not good with linens etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900670 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 19:21:05 +0000 pachamama 2900670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got both of these suggestions as housewarming gifts (a basket of goodies and a plant) and I loved them. Still have the plant 9.5 years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900657 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 14:42:40 +0000 psw27 2900657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to suggest a plant as well - something easy from thesill seems like a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900638 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:52:39 +0000 Ajsmommy 2900638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd do similar to @LadyDi: . I'd get some place settings, matching napkins, hand towels, oven glove/mits and maybe a table runner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900637 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:50:05 +0000 LCTBQE 2900637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVE houseplants, but if you don't know whether or not they're plant people, nice kitchen towels are always great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900634 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:39:23 +0000 jhd 2900634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LadyDi: I love that idea. I don’t need an excuse to shop at TJ Maxx etc ;) </p> <p>@yellowbeach: I’m terrible with plants so I never think about them but that’s a great idea too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900633 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:35:29 +0000 LadyDi 2900633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you live near a home goods or a similar store? I just put together a little basket from there as a housewarming gift for my SIL. I put in a couple of hand towels, napkins, hand soap, olive oil and sea salt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900628 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:26:05 +0000 yellowbeach 2900628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always like houseplants as a housewarming gift - consider a nice fiddle leaf fig plant or similar <a href="https://www.thesill.com/products/fiddle-leaf-fig-1?variant=30408417968233" rel="nofollow">https://www.thesill.com/products/fiddle-leaf-fig-1?variant=30408417968233</a></p> <p>[attach=7491/19/pzxuzh.462x600.Screen-Shot-2019-10-25-at-12.25.42-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-home#post-2900627 Fri, 25 Oct 2019 11:18:43 +0000 jhd 2900627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A new mom friend of mine and her husband recently bought their first home.
