If your friend is soon moving into the place of their dreams and throwing a get together to celebrate their new home, make sure you’re ready to help them commemorate the occasion with the perfect housewarming gift.
A Helping Hand
Moving is no easy task, and as you’ve likely missed the window to offer your help for the move, make sure you provide a helping hand in a way your friend can use in the future. Loading and unloading boxes takes its toll, and the last thing a new homeowner will want to do in their first month after moving is you guessed it: clean. With this foresight in mind, book them a cleaning service like Molly Maid so they don’t have to lift a finger while still enjoying a spick and span house. If they’ve got a massive yard to deal with, they might do better with the gift of landscaping or gardening services to take a little of the load off. Book them a consultation with a landscape architect to help them get an idea of what they want to transform their yard into. You can then throw in some good old-fashioned hard manual labor to help make those yard fantasies come true.
Give it a Modern Touch
If the place in question is a bachelor pad for your best pal or a modern maven’s dream, make sure the décor is up to standard. Sometimes we need to splurge on items for our loved ones that they might not have thought to buy themselves. Touch of Modern has unique and modern gifts that will help them outfit their place in trendy décor. From cool lighting selections to practical kitchen gadgets, you’ll find something out of the ordinary that they’re guaranteed to appreciate.
Take a Load Off
As mentioned earlier, moving is no easy task and it comes with its fair share of stresses. If you’re looking to go outside of the box with this housewarming gift, grab them something that has nothing to do with the home and everything to do with getting over the stress of moving. Grab your friend a gift certificate to a massage therapist so they can finally release the strainedmuscle tension from gallivanting around under all those heavy boxes.Surely not an expected gift, but definitely a welcome one.
Get to Cooking
Help them break in their new kitchen with some delicious recipes. Instead of handing them a tired old recipe book, set them up with a subscription to a food delivery service like Blue Apron. They’ll get boxes filled with all sorts of fresh, seasonal ingredients and detailed recipe instructions that make cooking dinner an exciting event every week. There are distinctions for different dietary needs, like vegetarian or pescatarian options, so if you know the kinds of foods they do or don’t eat, you can customize this awesome gift idea even further. It definitely beats calling for takeout for the first few weeks after moving in. If you’re not sure they’ll dig the recipe idea, try something a little more low-key, like a monthly delivery of some gourmet wines that they can sip and serve at future entertaining functions.
