Housewarming Gifts

• Choose something simple and beautiful like an ornamental picture frame, a small crystal vase or a unique wall clock. These can be used in any house no matter what the décor or theme of the room.
• If your friend collects a particular thing - like glass vases, napkin rings, different types of lamps then, add to her collection by gifting something that she collects.
• Gift something special you have made. Home made wine, a painted wall hanging, embroidered bed covers or an interesting flower arrangement.
• Add to their crystal collection by gifting them a pair of delicate toasting flutes with a bottle of champagne.
• If they are a newly wed couple find out, if there was something they wanted and did not get as a wedding gift and you could buy it for them.
• Another good choice is colored glassware or something that can be added to a china collection, like two china dishes.
• Gift a guest book to remember events and celebrations.
• Make a special photo album of all the good times you spent together.
• Gift a green plant in an ornate pot.
• You can make a gift basket or a collection of things together for example gardening things like garden tools, gloves, seeds, pruners, and gardening magazines or a make a chocolate basket a box of exclusive candy, and a variety of chocolate candy, truffles, cookies, or freshly baked goods made of chocolate. Make sure the basket is something that your host loves and enjoys.
• Choose one item like a vase, a bowl, a large serving tray, candleholders in simple shapes and colors.

• Do not give plants to people who will not be interested in taking care of it. Gifting plants in extreme weather will cause them to wilt and die easily.
• Do not gift pets unless you know for sure that they will like it as a gift. Pets need to be taken care of and everybody may not be able to do this.
• While gifting food make sure you are giving the person what they love. Gift food to people you know very well.
• While buying a gift keep your friend's tastes and preferences in mind and not yours. What you like she may not like.
• Do not give a gift that you have received and do not like to someone else. If they do find out it will be very embarrassing for you.
