A(2025·连云港市海州区期末)
When you visit someone's new home for the first time, it's nice to bring a gift. Housewarming gifts may not be as common as birthday gifts, but they show one's kindness.
When to give a housewarming gift? The best time to give a housewarming gift is within the first three to six months after someone moves in. When you go to the housewarming party, you should always bring a gift. Even if there's no party, if you visit someone's new home within the first six months after they move in, a gift is still a good idea.
Who should get a housewarming gift? Housewarming gifts are not just for people who buy their first home. Anyone moving into a new place would love to get a gift. It's a nice way to say "welcome and congratulations".
What should be avoided when giving the gift? It's important to bring the right kind of housewarming gift. But how do you choose one? Try not to give very expensive gifts. Usually the price of a housewarming gift should be between $25 and $50. For example, house plants and picture frames are popular housewarming gifts within this budget. If you don't know the person's taste very well, you'd better not send art or furniture.
Housewarming gifts are a lovely way to celebrate someone's new home and make their space comfortable and welcome. The next time you visit a friend's new home, remember to bring a gift and, of course, follow the rules for gift - giving.
