So thoughtful. </p> <p>Maybe a cookie mix or you could throw together a glass mason jar with supplies except for the eggs and butter? My mom always said the best thing to do to make a new house/location feel like home is to bake cookies and I totally agree -- there is something special about the smell of fresh baked cookies in a new home. A candle is also in that same vein. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/welcome-basket#post-2097007 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 16:09:52 +0000 sandy 2097007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's coworker is moving here from Dallas and I wanted to make a small welcome basket for his family. So far I have my favorite local pancake mix with syrup, two bottles of wine and bottle opener, Starbucks gift card, Milano cookies, giant coloring and sticker book with crayons. Need a few more things to fill it up. Heading to trader joe's this afternoon - what should else should I get? More snacks, cookie butter, bath stuff, candle??? </p> [attach=429/15/nkrc4h.450x600.image.jpg]
