Care package/homewarming gift out of my stockpile!

[Miabee]

Brag 1: For the first time since we started dating 3 years ago, my DBF and I will finally be in the same city for longer than a 2 month period. He's moving to where I live to go to school and will live close by.

To celebrate this momentous occasion and also to save him from having to pack too many things, I dug into my stockpile and pulled out a whole round of goodies that he will need at his apartment. It also gave me a good chance to assess my stockpile and realize that I need to stock up on more kleenex lol. Which leads me to Brag 2.

Brag 2: I can't remember the exact breakdown of all of these items, but I got everything with sales, coupons, bonus redemption, and clearance. It probably cost me around $25 after taxes - but since he doesn't coupon, it would've cost him tons more. And it's great to be able to give him a useful gift!!


I've got Scott's paper towels and Royale bathroom tissue hiding behind all those cleaners and other bottles. And yes I took the pink sticker off the Gillette. LOL.

You are a very kind soul!

What a thoughtful gift!!!

What a great idea! I was also thinking a great wedding gift would be a package made up for hundreds of dollars worth of items for the happy couple but didn't cost them the same as if they went to go get them!

Awesome welcoming package

[fosterkat]

That's an excellent idea! A co-workers just purchased her first home and now I know what I'm going to give her

[momgoneawol]

Great gift, bet he will be really happy with all the goodies.

[Miabee]

Thanks all! I also have lots of Glade and AirWick smellies that I would've throw in for any other housewarming gift... but my DBF would probably just put those in a drawer and never take them out. LOL.

But I have a bridal shower coming up and I might do a basket of smellies as my gift.

Congrats Miabee that you will be together in the same city.
Your idea for a house warming gift is an excellent one. One less thing to buy when moving.
