New home prezzie

I once made up a hamper (well it was a box!) for a wedding present for a friend. However, it can add up in price so just be aware. I put mundane things like dusters, pan scrubbers, bottle openers, measuring spoons, wooden spoons, cheese grater, and added a bottle of good wine.

It was fun to do and seemed very well received.

champagne and glasses!

That does sound like fun to create but you could easily get spending hundreds! Practical and indulgent sounds just right.

Some fab ideas so far, I think I shall do a bit of everything Practical and indulgent for the end of a hard day. They have their work cut out so I shall need a big hamper. I’m looking forward to putting that together

Vouchers for Garden Centre and vouchers for DIY store

Or cash for either, that way they can prioritise their spending, between must haves and wants for later.

I'd go the other way. Nothing practical. Favourite tipple and chocs Bath goodies for tired and overworked DIYers. A couple of cosy throws for when their heating is being fixed. Voucher for a take away meal for when they can't be bothered to cook. If you are a good cook you could include some frozen meals for them instead.

We bought my daughter light bulbs, tea towels, multi pack of loo roll, ditto kitchen roll other items I can’t recall and a lovely bunch of flowers, new vase and tipple of choice.

How about a bird feeder and wild bird seed, some wild flower seeds (for planting - not for the birds!) Small garden tools and plant labels. Some lovely soap and a soap dish. Bright, colourful tea towels. Wooden spoons (always useful). Hope that helps!

I would so enjoy doing that?

You don't mention how much you want to spend.........but I will start this off with......,garden tools, book on chicken keeping, seeds and fertiliser, paint brushes, diy tools, dust sheets, cleaning products, dusters and cloths etc - consider recycling your old cotton waste for these.
