What to take to a housewarming?

I know it's not what you want but seriously I'd get them a gift voucher so they can choose something for themselves.

If they have a garden, how about a plant.
I always take an unusual variety of an easy to care for perennial or shrub.

Do they have a garden? If so how about a pretty shrub or Rose, if not a pair of winter flowering hanging baskets for by their front door.

Or a plant?

Two of the very best large extravagant containers for plants. They could use in the garden or at the front door.

Yes, the other suggestions are good, something for the garden.It's hard to know the exact taste of what they would like in the home, colour schemes etc or what they already have, but most people like a present for the garden.Solar lights?

This is transitional-traditional, weather friendly, and in the largest size quite useful.

A bottle of something - not necessarily alcohol but perhaps a speciality oil or a nice serving plate. Wine glasses or tumblers might be appreciated - you might be invited back to try them out!!!

My fall-back is usually a beautiful wooden chopping board. A really nice two inch thick one, possibly with some wooden kitchen spatulas or spoons added.

Flowers to be delivered monthly or for when the season changes.

B and Q gift card?

House Plant with a Voucher for the Garden Centre.

This time of year, assuming they have a garden, I'd give them a big bag of assorted spring flowering bulbs.

That's a good idea scribbles

I have planted herbs in containers,parsley, sage and chives in one, rosemary in another, mint in the third. Hope they will be appreciated

John Lewis voucher. If there's nothing they need or want they can buy champers in Waitrose!

A magazine subscription? - the gift that keeps on giving.

If your budget stretches to it, David Mellor has some wonderful kitchen stuff.

I would buy them a sizeable picture of their choosing.

Our High Street has just sprouted an attractive Le Creuset shop - wonderful fresh colours for everything. I gave a Le Creuset voucher to one young couple.

We have a window bird feeder which we derive a great deal of pleasure from. It's fitted on the window by the kitchen table and we and our 4 year old GS spend ages watching the huge variety of tits and finches who visit. I've given one to various friends as a housewarming gift over the years & they seem to go down well.

A bird bath if they have a garden.....immense pleasure watching birds in the garden all the years round.
