What's a good homewarming gift?

Besides wine....are gift cards ok? I'm taking a 3 1/2 hour ride on a bus and I don't want to carry anything heavy. Anyone have any ideas?

A gift card is ok, because there is so much that he or she needs to get for the new house.

Give a card of a store with nice house stuff, or even an Ikea card can be a blessing.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

A pretty candle with a holder, or a jar candle, is a great housewarming present. Just don't pick anything that has a strong or annoying scent to it. Keep it light and fresh.

Candles, spice rack / spices, salad bowl, tea set, assortment of tea / coffee, house plant or flower.

Since you will be travelling a long distance on a bus, I would say a gift card is the way to go, but if you want to give an actual gift that isn't too heavy, then as others have said, a candle is a nice gift.

Other general ideas for housewarming gifts: Crock pot, set of drinking glasses, kitchenware, a plant, a picture frame, blender, can opener, tea kettle, flatware, mug, kitchen mits, set of knives, etc.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

If you know the stores they like to shop at, get a gift card. Then they can buy what they want.

I would suggest that when you get there & take the house tour; Once you're alone, & wondering around the place by yourself, you should try to bust a nut in a corner of every room you can. nod Just to...leave your "mark" as one might say....

just kidding. hah!

A gift card to a furniture place or to a hardware store would be pretty cool imo. nod
