A close friend of mine just moved into a new house and is throwing a house warming party. Would love to bring a fun gift that has either a practical use or she'll think is clever or entertaining. Any ideas?

Well i recently went to a house warming party and a couple of people chipped in and bought a rubbish bin with a big red bow on top and inside were all the small basics that would be needed...such as pegs, cooking utensils, floor mats, etc etc...all that sort of stuff...use your imagination and chuck in all those little things that nobody else would think of! I thought it was an excellent idea and the couple loved it!! :) (and it was quite entertaining them pulling out all the little funny things infront of everyone) AND everything went to good use...including the rubbish bin!! (all those little things add up and they will be greatfull they dont have to go shopping for all those small things!) And also they can spend their money on the furniture of their choice...after all its their house!

Some people may see a gift card as an insincere gift but I think its a great gift . I mean if you really think about it all those little things that you need when you first move into a new place really add up and I'm sure she'd appreciate the gesture and that way she can get exactly what she wants/needs.

A Gift Card from a store like Pier 1 would be great. You put it in her home warming plant.

Fresh flowers in a vase, that was my favorite gift. Something else nice would be wind chimes. Or you could always give a personalized throw pillow/blanket. Or just go with candles and picture frams....

How about a small fish tank with fish of course to get her started. I think that would be an unusual and fun gift.

yes a nice plant would be good for a female friend. maybe throw in a good bottle of wine and a few wine glasses to toast to her new home.

Kind of lame, but I always like to bring a plant of some kind.

As a firefighter I always get smoke detectors and/or fire extinguishers - boring but possibly life saving
