Of course it's the thought that counts. You don't have to spend more. A $1.5 million dollar home is an average home price in some parts of the country. Not a huge, movie star mansion. Follow you heart.

@ahoymate Exactly...in my area $1.5 would buy you a 3 bd/2 ba/1500 sq ft home.

@LuvSoCal Same with my area too, sadly.....good for selling bad for buying!

@lgfan I love that idea of a Home Sweet home print for a house warming gift!

@ValuSkr Also, who wouldn't like a flameless candle?

I think anything even a card, as was said before, would be good.

I know there has been much discussion but I wouldn't spend a lot because chances are it won't work in their home or be to their taste so there is a big chance it won't be used, as others have said as well.

I know I'm super picky and very thoughtful about what I choose to have around because I hate clutter.

I know some people have talked about Barefoot Dream throws but I have no desire for one of those. I much perfer a big fluffy throw that I can luxuriate in and find the barefoot dreams ones too lackluster and small/thin and not that decorative and if I received one I'd feel bad not to use it because it cost so much but then again some love them!

It would still be appreciated ....just a bigger drain on your wallet.

It's just so individual.....So to spend a lot is not something I'd do.

I love the more simple, reasonably priced and thoughtful gifts...ones that I don't feel bad about stuffing in a closet or tossing if I don't like personally.....

Oh okay. I was thinking do they have pets?

If so maybe something for them since it's their new house too and maybe an adjustment.

Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. I bought three ( red, blue, and purple) with free shipping on Monday. They will be great, filled with special candies, for some neighbors.

@Biftu How about some new, fresh kitchen linens? Kitchen towels, pot holders, placemats and cloth napkins come to mind. I don't care how much a home costs, to me these are things that anyone can use.
