A young lady I know has moved in with her boyfriend after they became engaged. They are to be married in about two years - is it appropriate to give a house warming gift? Thanks for your answers.

Sure...but keep it small. A nice bottle of wine, or some guest towels for the bath plus a nice card, and that's it.

if you know her and you know that they are engaged to be married and it's well know that they make a home together then yes. it is appropriate to give a gift.
the fact that they are young and whether it will work out or not because of their age, is not up for discussion in this case.
so treat them as any other age appropriate couple. they will love your support (which they may not get from others). a home warming gift will open the doors to a tighter friendship or supporter or mother figure with you. i'm sorry you didnt state your age.
well hope this was helpful

If they have purchased a home, a housewarming gift is appropriate. Otherwise consider it an engagement gift. Generally people don't give gifts for cohabitation, even though cohabitation is vastly popular nowadays.

To me, a housewarming gift is given when someone purchases a new house. I have never heard of giving one to a person who has moved in with their significant other. But, if you feel the need to do something, then go ahead.

I would think something small would suffice. You don't need to get an elaborate gift at this point, wait until the wedding for that. Get an arrangement of candles. Candles are always a win! Good luck!

or in case you will locate a automobile on blocks at a junk backyard, which would be greater ideal. or basically hit a dumpster and get some broken toddler toys, backyard kit, and empty beer bottles forthat "lived in" look.

Give a housewarming gift only if the couple invites you to their housewarming party. That's what I would do.

Yes, but if you're not sure about the homeowner's personal style, a gift card would be best.

A gift is always welcome. Who doesn't like gifts? If you like them enough, go ahead and give them a gift.

I'm not sure on the proper etiquette on this one, but I think it is a nice idea.
