Friends, family, and neighbors often share in the excitement by taking a housewarming gift to the new homeowners.
But what should you give? The answer depends partly on how well you know the recipients, and if you have insight into their personal tastes and preferences, their needs and wants.
For your closest friends, housewarming gifts can be personal, humorous, and special, while for new neighbors or acquaintances you may want to make more generic gift choices.
Housewarming gifts are the one type of gift that needn't always be formally gift wrapped. After all, plants, gift baskets, and other large items are difficult and unwieldy to wrap in gift paper. Instead, consider using tulle fabric or netting, clear cellophane, or even just a colorful bow to adorn your gift. Be sure to include a handwritten welcome card, and whenever possible, personally take the gift to the home and officially "warm" it with your good wishes.
Whatever your gift choice, make is something appropriate for you and for the recipients. There's nothing more discouraging than to receive a huge Victorian swan planter when your entire home is black and white contemporary. It's better receive something predictible rather than something inappropriate.
Here are our favorite -- and not so favorite -- gift ideas for housewarmings...
The Good
Give Something Classic
Simple beauty never goes out of style. A silver picture frame, a cut crystal bud vase, or a beautiful clock are objects that can fit into almost any home. Make it special by buying it in your friend's favorite store, or go all out and shop at Tiffany, Neiman Marcus, or other specialty store. For an extra touch, fill the frame with a personal photo, place a rose in the bud vase, or engrave the object with the move-in date.
Add to a Collection
Choose an object that your friends can add to a treasured collection -- things like an antique tin, a white ironstone bowl, or a silver napkin ring are possibilities for some collectors. Then add a little something extra to the gift... perhaps a mini box of truffles inside the tin, some wonderful tea in the ironstone bowl, or a small bouquet of flowers cinched with the napkin ring.
Gift Baskets
Choose a theme appropriate for your recipients and have fun putting together something creative. Just choose a themed container, several appropriate pieces to place inside, and tie it all up in cellophane and a pretty bow. Use package shred or crinkled tissue to cushion the items if necessary.
-- Gardening Bucket with garden tools, gloves, seeds, pruners, and gardening magazines
-- Just Add Water with a vase, stem cutters, floral design book, and a big bunch of fresh flowers
-- Paint Party in a Paint Tray with paint rollers, brushes, drop cloths, tape, 5 in 1 Tool
-- Starter Tool Box with tape measure, hammer, screwdriver, pliers, and assorted nails
-- Picture Hanging Kit with picture hangers and wire, nails, tape measure, level, and plumb line
-- Dinner Kit with a casserole, plates, utensils, paper cups, and a bottle of sparkling cider
-- Emergency Chocolate Kit for incurable chocoholics -- a candy tin or a basket, and a variety of chocolate candy, truffles, cookies, or freshly baked goods made of -- you guessed it -- chocolate !
Make Something Special
Gif the gift of yourself by presenting something you've made. Perhaps a flavored vinegar, shaped topiary, painted welcome sign, fireplace starters, a flower arrangement or an Easy Fruit Arrangment .
Toasting Flutes
Add to their wedding crystal, or choose unique toasting flutes especially for the occasion. Tie the stems with pretty bows, and include a bottle of bubbly to toast your friends in their new home.
Bridal Registry
Newly married couples can be easy to shop for since you may still be able to choose items from their wedding registry. If the registered gifts have all been given, you can look it over for clues to their chosen color scheme and style preference, then make appropriate gift choices that will fit into their decor. Consider placemats to go with their china, an additional setting or two of everyday dishes, or an alternate choice of colored glassware.

Everybody likes to receive birthday gifts, while some people consider the tradition of birthday gift giving to be a very boring obligation. This article is both for whose who are full of birthday gift ideas (maybe, they will find a new one here), and for whose who simply are not able to make themselves think out and buy a Birthday gift. First of all, a bouquet. What kind of bouquets do you know? Flower bouquet, of course. And what would you say if at your Birthday friends will bring a bouquet of multicolored balloons? Or a bouquet of candies? Youd definitely prefer them both! Secondly, let us speak about unique and amazing birthday gift ideas like a box of alive butterflies. Imagine, your girl-friend opens the nice velvet box and suddenly a lot of bright butterflies (red, blue, violet, yellow, pink) fly out of it! Splendid! Or, for example, you can buy an act of dominion of Moons or Marss plot and present it to your boy-friend. It is breathtaking to own the plot of Mars, do you agree? Among the above-average gifts one can mention also a caricature, a portrait (made by using a photo), speaking toys, which possess a voice of the person who will receive this gift. Trying to agree on the division between birthday gift for men and birthday gift for women, guns and ties with hand-made painting are meant for a man, while SPA certificates and chiffon specially-made pies are meant for a woman. Imagine you are looking forward to your Birthday and you know that a prospective gift is something incredible. But nobody tells you what kind of gift it will be. You are trying to give everybody a cue what exactly you would like to have, you are torturing your parents and friends: Do you know what I am going to have? You start feeling nervous about your birthday gift, because on the eve of your birthday you havent seen any holiday box with pied knots! At last, in the morning youre given a blue envelope, where you find a ticket to airplane, flying to France! And only now you realize that the best gift is the one that hardly could be imagined!
