Not sure how I would feel about the picture thing.  I mean if you're leaving maybe it isn't really that much of an attachment?   I think a gift card was the better idea, maybe look up to see if Home Depot or Loew's is in their new area.  You always need something from those stores when you move to a new place.   Much more practical, IMO.


Glad to see this post.  Not all of us want to dwell on a place we wanted to leave!

 

The ones staying behind might feel this way.  A gift should be something the giftee would want...not what the gifter thinks they should want.  


@september. Was "dwell" a pun?😂


@Pearlee   Maybe!  

I loved my former home for many years, but life brings changes, and I no longer wanted to dwell there!  

it's strange but many of the people I was leaving behind, seemed to feel sorry for me.  I couldn't wait to move on.
