A really nice his/her monogrammed towel set. I will not eat anything that walks, runs, skips, hops or crawls. God knows that I've crawled on occasion, and I'm glad that no one ate me. ~Alex Poulos

I'm sure my response won't be the most creative.....
House warming gifts i've given would include a houseplant, bottle of champagne or a nice vase. That's as creative as I get. | |

I like to give plants -- but only if I know the person will be okay with it (ie. they have a bit of a green thumb or own other houseplants). I usually try to research meanings of plants and fit that to the recepient/occasion. For example, for my friend's bridal shower I gave her an orange tree - it is said to represent chastity and fertility (), faithfulness, and eternal love, so it is a common gift for brides. Seven years later they still have it. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Don't give them anything decorative unless you know it's something they actually want.
How about something for organization?
Or something like this (if they like wine) along with a nice bottle or two of course.
Or a pair nice luxurious throws they can cozy up with on the couch (but put away when not in use). | |

I thought you would say matching Snuggies.

There is nothing luxurious about a Snuggie. | |

You made a snuggie look luxurious! | |

What about a nice colleage photo frame or is that lame??? | |

Do you know what their decor is like? And do they display family photos?
I'm not a huge photo displayer. A few in certain spots of the house (mostly den).
But some (or one) NICE (maybe hand-bound) photo ALBUMS!!!
There's some folk in Etsy who do awesome ones. Not the country-bumpkin ones, the really chic ones. [Edited 12/1/10 13:34pm] | |

A collection of teas, some tasty biscuits and an invitation to them to visit your home for tea. | |

Welcome Mat. Shoe Cleaner or something like this...

That was more of a hostess thing. I love that plant. Yes it's still alive and flowers every spring/summer. | |

What if they hate stained glass? I'd be thankful for the thought but pissed that now someone expects me to put out a stained glass if it's not my thing. Am I a bitch for that? | |
