Helpful Extras
A good housewarming gift for home owners that have moved
from an apartment into a new home are the little things
that they just never had to use before. Here are some
gift examples: extension cords, a garden hose, rakes,
and any useful garden or yard tools, welcome mats, wind
chimes..
Thanks Camie and Wade, Oviedo FL

Pick Them Up
Get them a gift certificate to the Supermarket, if you

- if yes, pick it up for them, and you can always go to
the store and pick out a variety of
fresh fruit and place in a basket to take over. They
can't pack fruit!

Note It
A guest
books makes a wonderful housewarming gift, particularly for people who entertain or have out of town family
and guests. Having them sign a guest
books acts as a journal for the
house and the events and special times enjoyed there.
