A family member or friend just moved into their new home. It is appropriate to bring a housewarming gift at your first visit.
A housewarming gift could be anything from an item off the couple’s bridal registry (if still available) to a themed basket. If you know them well, it could be a beautiful clock for their kitchen, or a gorgeous vase for their living-room mantle. If the gift is for a new neighbour than perhaps a plant or a bottle of wine is the way to go.
Either way, a housewarming gift is very thoughtful way to say “congratulations” or “welcome to the neighbourhood”.
You could also contact the Welcome Wagon, a free service in your city, to visit the couple and provide them with information about the community and gifts from local businesses.
For more information on their service here is their website www.welcomewagon.ca.
