Housewarming Gifts

my sister and her husband bought a new house, so we gave some gifts to them for their new house.

What are some of types of gifts do you give to people you love in your family or friends when they buy a new house, or move into a new place? Doesn't have to be a bought house, but maybe they moved out and have their new place, a new apartment, home, independence.

i got this image from this site over housewarming gifts and some of the items mentioned are really creative and interesting.

Bread ---May those in your home never go hungry.
Broom--- May your house always be clean and free of evil spirits.
Candles--- May you always have light through the darkest times.
Coins---- May you receive luck and good fortune.
Honey---- May you always enjoy the sweetness of life.
Knives---- May your home always be protected from intruders.
Olive Oil ----May you be blessed with health and well-being.
Plants -----May your home always have life.

Coins, ( i didnt think of that) for good luck, and i remember readng that is from a chinese tradition, like those feng shui coins for the home.

also, candles, what a nice touch

Something meaningful in the design of which they decorate. Something that fits their personality.

Or something cute for the yard.

As I cap, I tend to figure out something practical they will use every day, but something needed they don't have.

Or an appliance that needs updating or like a cappuccino machine if they like cappuccino for instance.

Then there's always the standards like candles, towels, dish towels, etc

that's a really great one, the cappuccino machine. They don't have one while my other sis and her man has one. This couple doesn't because they don't need one. plus they don't entertain people (family and friends) as much as they've got busy schedules with work and the children.

also, the something for the yard and the decoration is Always a nice touch.

i got something for the children too, it's not their birthdays but since it was a housewarming i still got some toys and clothes for them.

omgoodness this is the cutest ever!!!!
