Duct tape

Champagne

A slice box opener

Not sure how I’d react if someone gave me duct tape and a box cutter for a housewarming gift. I would be…concerned…about having that person over again.

The duct tape would be meant to be funny but the box opener is really handy and a lot of people don’t know about them.

To each their own though because I hate candles and already have blankets.

Gift card to Lowes or Home Depot (which ever is closer) along with a bottle of wine

70 dollars for a candle?!?! It’s so funny.l, although my hi is in the top 5%, I can’t wrap my head around $70 for a candle.

they have a $44 version. This is the mercedes/audi of candles. If you want the honda civic version then you could get a yankee candle

I'd never buy MYSELF a $70 candle, but that's the fun of giving gifts -- you can buy your friends things they'd never buy themselves.

I like to give food such as local chocolates or baked goods, or flowers.

Definitely something consumable or gift card. A big no to a $70 candle.

that's what I thought as well, until I smelled it!

It depends on the relationship. If it’s a brand new neighbor, I do baked goods like muffins or scones. If I’m visiting a friend’s new home, I like to bring flowers and a gift card to either a local restaurant or Home Depot.

Was going to say this! Not very expensive (they are like $20-$30 on Etsy) but so thoughtful and useful. We use ours so much more than we thought we would.
