<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new home is exciting, but I swear, in commercials they make it seem like it\u2019s completely stress-free.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In real life, we know that\u2019s just not the case. Buying a new home is<\/em> exciting, but it\u2019s also terrifying because it\u2019s one of the largest purchases you\u2019ll ever make. And don\u2019t get me started about move-in day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a friend, family member, or concerned citizen, here\u2019s where you can help. Imagine surprising the new homeowner in your life with very practical move-in gifts? Where do you start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A Gift Card For Furniture <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not that you\u2019re responsible for furnishing the new home, but a gift card for furniture is a nice contribution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little something can help with their choice of chairs, tables, couches, beds, or what-have-you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, they can use the gift card to purchase other items needed to complete their home, such as rugs, lamps, or pillows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside is that they may have to wait a while for their new furniture to arrive, but 1) it will be worth it, and 2) it\u2019s not your problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. A Nice Set of Towels <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Move-in day has lots of moving pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve got to coordinate the movers, connect cable and utilities, run to Costco, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you realize after washing your hands, that you\u2019ve nothing to dry them with. Doh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why a set of brand new, fluffy, fragrant towels is always appreciated. If you want to be a rockstar, you can special order personalized monogrammed towels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. A Potted Plant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A potted plant can turn a regular home into your dream home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No it can\u2019t. I just wanted to make fun of that clich\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it can do is add a touch of greenery to any space and really brighten up a new home. Also, it’s a gift that keeps on giving, as the recipient will be able to enjoy the plant for years to come\u2026if they remember to water it and keep it in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A Homemade Meal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After a long day of moving in, people typically opt for a quick and dirty dinner like ordering a pizza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing wrong with that; however, how nice would it be for your new homeowner friend to receive a homemade meal? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that\u2019s love. Since you know this person or family well, it will be easy to pick one of their favorites. If you\u2019re not a cook, you can always order and deliver from their favorite restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Cleaning Supplies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No, this is not a way of saying, \u201cEww, you need to clean up.\u201d Rather, it conveys, “Welcome to adulthood! Here are all the things you need to keep your new place clean.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, some people may not be thrilled to receive a box of cleaning supplies as a housewarming gift. But hey, at least you’re giving them something they’ll actually use. And who knows? They might even appreciate it more than a bottle of wine or a scented candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go the extra mile, offer to do some of the cleaning yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🚨SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT🚨<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
