We’ve all done it. Peek out the window to see who the new neighbor is as the giant moving truck rolls up. And then talking about how much work it is to move and that you’re glad it’s not you!
After you’re done spying, how about giving the new neighbor a little housewarming gift! This also gives you a great opportunity to introduce yourself and give them a proper welcome to the neighborhood.
Check out these 5 Housewarming Gift Ideas:
1. Ready to Bake Cookie Dough Rolls: After a long day of unpacking boxes, the smell of freshly baked cookies would surly relax anyone and make their house feel like a home! Or, you could take over already baked goodies or even a full meal.
