Good Neighborly Gifts – Welcome to the Neighborhood Gift Ideas
We got a new neighbor recently – and the new people who moved in next door seemed rather nice so I wanted to start things out on the right foot by giving a nice welcome to the neighborhood kind of gift to them. If I were one of the ladies in Desperate Housewives doubtless I would cook up a storm and hand-deliver a hearty casserole or scrumptious homemade cookies in a pretty basket, but I am not so I didn’t. instead I thought of these welcome to the neighborhood ideas for a housewarming gift –
Now I like to keep a nice garden and would like it if my neighbor did the same. So for rather selfish reasons, I thought a garden gift basket such as this one would be a good idea. It includes a hand painted metal planter, a pair of cotton gardening gloves, Banana Boat sunscreen, and assortment of flower seed packets, a stainless steel spade and trowel, and key lime cookies. Not bad for $57 and free shipping.
As people move into a new house, they typically take time to settle in, set up a kitchen and get a regular cooking routine going. So in the meanwhile, a Snacker’s Delight Gift Basket such as this one can be a great and thoughtful idea, to give new neighbors something to munch and snack on as they settle into their new home. This $30 collection includes Feel Good Snack Mix, Cheddar Cheese Straws, Smoked Almonds, Imperial Tea Biscuits, Tropical Real Fruit Snack, Cheese Lover’s Pub Mix, Creme de Pirouline Cookies, a tin of Mixed Fruit Candies, Walkers Shortbread Fingers and Godiva Milk Chocolate Pearls.
For the health conscious giver/receiver of housewarming gifts, a Fruit Gift Basket such as this one would be ideal. This California Signature Fruit Gift Box includes a dozen different fruit, including apples, oranges, Mango and Kiwis.
Another food basket that I particularly liked the look and contents of is this Cutting Board, Meat and Cheese hamper, which includes a cheese spreader, plus Beef Salami, Camembert Cheese Spread, Gourmet Mustard, Toasted Sesame Crackers, California Herb Crunchies, and Torani Biscotti for dessert as well as a cutting board measuring about 12 by 8 inches.
I also liked this Home Cookie Gift Box, that works well for a housewarming gift because of its theme packaging and assorted cookies, in my view, always make for a great gift.
So go ahead and say Welcome to the Neighborhood in any way you choose!
