Condos in Arlington VA – Easy to Make Housewarming Gift Baskets

Filed under: Condos in Arlington VA — Northern Virginia Real Estate Agent @ 12:29 pm

If you’re trying to decide on the perfect yet practical housewarming gift for friend who just purchased one of the condos in Arlington VA, you should consider creating your own gift basket. All you need is a theme and a few supplies to make a gift basket your friends will adore.

Here are 4 easy to make housewarming gift baskets:

  1. Tool Basket. Searching for a screwdriver in stacks of packed boxes just isn’t fun. This makes a tool basket a great housewarming gift. Put together basic home tools like an assortment of screwdrivers, tape measure, pliers, hammer, scissors, and an adjustable wrench. Present them in an attractive tool box or tool belt for simple, practical storage.
  2. Wall Art Basket. Your friends will no doubt want to hang art on the walls of their new condo to personalize and decorate it. Instead of just giving a collection of frames for their art, go the extra mile and create a wall art basket. Include picture hooks, hanging wires, a hammer, a small level and instructions for how to hang a picture
  3. Indoor Garden Basket. Whether your friends are beginning or expert gardeners, a garden basket for potted plants is a welcome housewarming gift. Gather home gardening tips and tools, fertilizer, potting soil, a gardening magazine, and seeds or small plants. Store these items in a sturdy plant pot for the start of an indoor garden your friends will enjoy for years to come.
  4. Painting Basket. Personalizing a new condo with fresh paint is more fun when you have new supplies for the job. All you need for a painting basket is a roll of painter’s tape, a drop cloth, spackle, spackle blade, roller sponge and handle, screwdriver, and a well-made paint brush. You can also include a decorating magazine and specialty painting tools like corner brushes.

A well-thought-out housewarming gift can make your friends’ move easier as well as fun.
