8 Housewarming Gifts I Love to Give (and Some I Wish I'd Received!)

[@TheFrugalMinimalist]

You have such kind and excellent advice, Melissa! Your friends are lucky to have you. Your daughter’s hand was so cute and your picture in front of your home is the sweetest 🤗

[@MelissaShares]

Thank you so much, Wendy! I'm wrapping up a big bottle of Gin today, along with a Vermont Weather Stick we picked up for our friends on vacation. It's a fun thing to have on a fencepost in the yard. Can't wait to see our friends' new home. It was a major accomplishment they pulled off in a very short time since arriving to the states!

When we moved a family friend came by with their kids and they swept and cleaned up a little. I was so thankful for that! These are all great ideas! Shabbat shalom good friend!! :)

[@MelissaShares]

I'm so glad you mentioned this!! I also was thinking that either hiring or helping in the role of "cleaning crew" or yard cleanup, or garden consult would be incredibly nice gifts to someone in a new place. Either paying the bill for the service or pitching in and offering to help! I'm so happy someone did that for you. I was tremendously pregnant during our last move, and summertime and all, so you can imagine how motivated I was to do heavy labor! Shabbat shalom, sweet Chana! Tonight we're attending services at the BEACH (Shabbat at the Shore!). :)

I think you covered it all in your video! Sounds so peaceful and beautiful! Enjoy! :)

These are some great advices, thanks for sharing. It helped a lot especially I’m going to attend one in a few days!

[@dinahsoar6982]

These are great ideas. I'm the worst at coming up with gift ideas so I like to give cash or gift cards, but often worry that the receiver might think it's tacky or impersonal. I love giving gifts and wish it came easy for me but it hasn't so far. btw, when that little hand and arm shot up in the back it was so cute.

[@MelissaShares]

Dinahsoar thank you! Hope these ideas help!

[@laurajames6484]

Amazing ideas thank you😃

[@carolbrown7234]

Great ideas!! And "hello" to one of your daughters ❤. A cute little hand rose up from the back seat, so cute!

[@MelissaShares]

Thank you, Carol! You're so cute to catch that little hand. Yes, I spend a lot of time sitting in cars with "sleeping" children. In this case she was no longer asleep. ;) Thanks so much for your kind support!

[@qmakesithappen]

You're legit the sweetest person ever! Great gift ideas as always Melissa! 😁

[@MelissaShares]

Q Makes It Happen thank you, Q!

[@RustyHaloMetalDetecting]

Great ideas! I love the grocery store gift card idea and the breaking bread one! Thanks!

[@hundo9314]

The picture hanger from your mom was a great gift.

[@MelissaShares]

Tanzy Thress i agree! I had a newborn and so much financial and life stress at the time. In one day everything looked so much more “put together,” it really helped emotionally too!

[@whybecuzimme]

Oh my gosh so funny because you said "breaking bread" and the baby in the back raised their hand like "Amen"😋. You're probably the friend everyone loves to have. nice video. thanks for the ideas.

[@MelissaShares]

You're so kind. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for your nice words. Wishing you well!

[@DisneySistersChallenges]

And two free hands...you are too funny! Sweet ideas as always, Melissa!

[@MelissaShares]

Erica Terry DIY thank you, Erica! I had a newborn and a new preschooler when this all went down. Crazy times! 🤪

[@NoDebtButLove]

Cash is king!😃My Nigerian friends prefer cash for weddings, birthdays, and major holidays😂😂😂. Sweet picture of your family.😀

[@MelissaShares]

No Debt But Love that is such a sensible tradition! Jewish families often gift in increments of $18 (a significant number in Jewish numerology) and I love knowing other folks who do similar. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the complement. Sometimes a sweet memory is better than the material things.

[@druzmash]

Very honest and thoughtful suggestions.

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

Your home is so charming.

[@MelissaShares]

Thank you! I thank my lucky stars we've been able to buy. While on vacation, we even heard from a location scout about filming at our rental. I'll keep you posted on that unexpected and very exciting income opportunity! Could hardly believe it!

[@hundo9314]

All you idea's are great tho. Am sure your friend's will be so happy.

[@MelissaShares]

Thank you so much for saying that! I sure hope so!
