How to Give the Perfect Housewarming/ Wedding Gift

A move into a new home can be overwhelming. The last thing you think to ask for as a gift is what you need the most—cleaning products. As a friend to someone in this position, here is a great housewarming gift to put together for her/him. It can be pricey, but easier to pay for if you gather a group of friends to create the gift together.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Kitchen trash can or a laundry basket
• Household cleaning products
• Plastic garbage bag or a blanket
• Long ribbon

1. First, you need a creative yet functional container. A kitchen trash can or a laundry basket works the best.

2. Next, fill the container with bottles of household cleaning products. If you have the room, sometimes a roll of paper towels or a stack of dishtowels is a nice touch. This step can be pricey as an individual gift. Turning this into a group gift can help.

3. Finally, wrap the gift in a way that will seal everything inside. You can use a garbage bag and tie it off with ribbon as you would a giant gift basket. Wrapping it in a blanket or a large towel has the same effect and is less likely to break open.

4. Watch the recipient of your gift wonder at this unusually wrapped present! Watch the recipient gasp with relief when they receive such a USEFUL gift!
