Pinkie Winky Housewarming Gift Ideas For a Son ( Daughters too of course)

It is often hard to think of an appropriate gift for a man who has just bought a house. Ive come up with a few gift ideas to make this task a little easier.



A Bottle of Nice Wine, Some Fuit, Cheeses and Crackers
To make this into a gift basket, add some wine glasses, a cheese tray and cheese knife.


Prepaid Newspaper Subscription
Either local, City or World
To make this into a gift basket, add some of his favorite morning treats..... scones or donuts, some coffee or tea, orange juice along with the first copy of the paper that youve paid for. Be sure to include a card telling him that he has a subscription to this paper and for how long it will last.


Homemade Gift Certificates from You
What man do you know who could resist an offer to help clean his house? Create homemade certificates good for one day of laundry, ironing, housecleaning, home cooked meals.....use your imagination for these.


Food Baskets
Go straight to his stomach with these! If you know his favorite meal, stick the dry foods in a basket and include a gift certificate to the local grocery store for the rest of the items. Add the recipe if needed.

You can also create a dessert basket by filling jars with the dry ingredients for cookies or brownies, a gift certificate for the wet ingredients, muffin tins, wooden spoons, measuring spoons, a bowl and oven mitts. dont forget to print out the recipe for the dessert!


Grill Accessories
Most Men think that they are the King of thier grills. To help them out, Put together a basket containing interesting grill sauces, new grill tools, a grill cleaner brush, grill gloves......even a grill cookbook. To add a whimsical touch, you could add a personalized apron or chef's hat too.



Happy Housewarming!!!

Tami

if the man got a new house because he has retired and move close to the lake, a new fishing rod, fishing box, and other things for fishing is great.

if he likes to work in the yard, get him some yard things to work with.
