Because you have not spent a great amount of time with your new neighbors yet, it’s difficult to purchase a housewarming gift they would like. But this should never stop you from purchasing a gift that warms the heart. Think about what you would like if you were in their shoes, what you saw while they were moving in, and things they’ve said to you in the rare instances when you saw them. Surely there must be some clue about their family and their lifestyle.

If they have flower pots out, they may be into gardening You can consider giving them some gardening tools. You can also give them a quaint bird bath for their lawn.

A personalized basket of fruit would probably be welcome. Instead of fruits, you can also give cookies, but check first if there’s someone in the home who can’t eat cookies. Are they football fans, try including snack foods that would be enjoyed during a football game. If they have kids, consider giving them a box or basket with popcorn and certificates for free movies at a local movie rental business.

Instead of gift baskets, you can also put your food gifts inside jars. Put together dry ingredients that you’d need to make brownies, cakes, or other goodies. Your jars can also accommodate some cooked dishes. You can also put together an assortment of cooking ingredients from your backyard like basil leaves, cherry tomatoes, chili peppers etc.. Jars of any size or shape can be used. The transparent jars that used to contain baby food are perfect for accommodating marinades, preserves and dressings. Quart mason jars or recycled jars of the same size are good for brownie mixes, cake mixes, or other larger recipes.

Decorate the jars with fabric to cover the lids, and the gift baskets with bows. You can make the instructions on the computer or hand write them on a recipe card that can be kept when the food has been made.

A gift that the whole family can enjoy would be appreciated. A small map of your neighborhood or town would be one idea for a family gift.

Whatever it is you finally decide to give your new neighbors or your friends who have just transferred to a new neighborhood, be sure to include a personalized card..
