So, you're best friend just bought her first piece of real estate and is all moved in to College Park condos and you're in need of a housewarming gift. Even with the people you are closest to it can be hard to think of something for a new home that they will both like and use. They most likely don't have any of their decor set yet so you might have the issue of trying to find something that will fit into their future design. Here's a short guide of some gifts that will work for a variety of homes and people.
Whether someone is moving into a posh condo at 208 Queens Quay in Toronto or a cute cottage in the country, fresh plants can always find a place within their home. They can add life to any room and they are usually something that makes a new house feel more like a home. Plants are great gifts because you never have the issue of trying to figure out whether or not they already one. You can make them a little more personal by adding a creative pot to house the plant. And if you're really going for style points, you could visit a pottery making shop and create your own personalize plant holder.
A picture frame is another great neutral gift that can work for any home and any recipient. One of the most daunting decorating tasks when setting up that new London real estate is all of the empty wall space. This is especially true if the person moving into their new home is upgrading from a smaller place. You could find the perfect picture to fill the frame to make this gift more personal or just give them a great frame that they can fill on their own.
A gift basket can be a great way of incorporating a bunch of great little gifts into one beautiful package. You could include some garden tools for the woman who dreams of adding a garden to her Milton real estate or a gift card for paint for someone who just moved into a fixer-upper. You could also add in personalized IOUs for things like babysitting the kids or a dinner made by you so that they don't have to cook for a night. Place these all in a pretty basket and you have what will likely be one of the best gifts they get.
The key to finding the perfect housewarming gift is just finding something that the recipient will appreciate once all of those boxes are finally unpacked in their Toronto lofts home. Adding thought to something that is practical for them during this busy time will usually produce a gift that is sure to be appreciated.
