I am 65. I do remember though it was a big thing when we were younger for those buying their first homes!!!!!

I never had one.

DD just went to one a few weeks ago for a coworker who moved into an apartment.  She took a candle. It seems like the 20-something generation still likes those!

Yes, odd. Especially  when you're downsizing. Maybe not as much if you're 22 getting your first apartment.

Perhaps it was just her way of letting you know she'd like to come over and see your new place.

@DottieB That is exactly what she wants. In the 15 years I have known her I have only seen her at my daughter's home for Easter and Christmas. I just found it to be rude of her to try and push herself on me. Thank you to everyone for your input.

Exactly! - Perhaps she just wanted to see your "new" place and celebrate and share in your joy.

I don't think the question was weird or rude at all - but then again, I try to give people the benefit of doubt, unless I'm 100% sure they are being snarky or phony.
