When you first buy a place or move into a new rental you're always strapped for cash and want to upgrade things. But if you don't feel comfortable giving cash or a gift card alcohol is great too since it's a nice treat for someone watching spending closely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/housewarming-gifts#post-177771 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 08:11:06 +0000 littlebug 177771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go for gift cards - Target or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Those were my favorite gifts when hubs and I bought our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/housewarming-gifts#post-177767 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 08:07:55 +0000 mrsjyw 177767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done plants, kitchen essentials, cleaners, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/housewarming-gifts#post-177692 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:57:52 +0000 Arden 177692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like gift cards. It's guilt free spending, because you can't apply it to bills like cash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/housewarming-gifts#post-177556 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 18:45:50 +0000 Andrea 177556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: laundry detergent!!

Thought it was kinda cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/housewarming-gifts#post-177318 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 08:36:07 +0000 eeh 177318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our neighbor bought us a crape myrtle tree for our housewarming gift. We loved it and thought it was very thoughtful. (She also planted it and waters it regularly...we kind of hit the neighbor jackpot!)</p> <p>Housewarming gifts can be tricky because you don't want to give the 900th candle in a scent they don't like or give them decor they feel obligated to display. Maybe some nice kitchen towels if you know their decor style with a bottle of wine? Or a house plant in a nice pot?</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/housewarming-gifts#post-177304 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 07:52:41 +0000 autumnlove 177304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any ideas for housewarming gifts? Hopefully I can think of something before the party starts this afternoon! </p>
