Hello my friends!! Happy Wednesday!! And Happy Housewarming!!
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of friends who are moving. It is sad to see a friend move. And I don’t like good-byes. But I do like to give them house warming gifts. Nothing fancy, and not necessary, but easy and fun.
This is a sample of what we gave to our kids right after Christmas. They were moving into an apartment, sight unseen. I thought they might want to clean up after it was cleaned. Make sense?? I like to have my own type of clean-not someone else’s. (I know, a little OCD.)
I found a basket and filled it with cleaning items such as:
disinfectant wipes
bleach spray
liquid dish soap
glass cleaner
sponges
magic erasers
recipe cards
and a scented candle
Since it is their first home I thought it would be nice to also give them their first Nativity and a Christmas ornament.
Nothing fancy, but fun for a new home. They told me they ended up using all of it. I was glad I made an easy housewarming gift for them.
I tied everything up with cellophane, tulle and ribbon. It looks makes cleaning look a little more fun that way, don’t you think?
I am sure you have a few ideas of your own. What would you put in your easy housewarming gift?
This easy housewarming gift is also great for a new college student.
I have been busy working on our dining set-it is going to be so fun to share it with you!! I can’t wait to finish it.
Thanks for stopping by today. I am off to finish the dining set…

Great idea!! I usually give either kitchen or bathroom stuff for housewarming gifts. I love your idea of cleaning supplies. Everyone always cleans when they move. Thanks for the great idea!!
