Housewarming Gift ideas:
“Whether it’s about welcoming a new neighbor or enjoying an old friend’s new home, a housewarming gift goes a long way for the stressed and harried. Think experience rather than object, and give something useful that they can enjoy.”

Face It Calling Cards & Return Address Stamps:
Did the recently transplanted forget to update someone about a move? Not a problem. Best thing about these calling cards and return address stamp: They’re 100% personalized. You can have the likeness of your choice hand-painted on each card should you choose.
Lux-ify this by creating a full correspondence kit: Thank you, birthday and just because cards will help out when in a pinch.

Cards & Cocktails:
Brightly colored and patterned card sets say: ‘summer game night and cocktails in our future’ in a non-imposing way. Pair them with a decorative journal for keeping tally, and you can consider it a date.
Lux-ify this by adding the makings of a fave cocktail—shaker & lowballs included.

Foodie’s Delight:
Play on the tradition of home-baked cookies on a platter. Mix this Home-Sweet-Home letter tray with cookies from your go-to neighborhood bakery. It’s a witty gesture and clues them in to a favorite local spot, as well.
Lux-ify this by curating a selection from your top local vendors & artisans and include a neighborhood map.
