My sister moved into a new house and this is what I brought for a quick and inexpensive housewarming gift. She loved it too (or she faked it really well).
I love baskets and they make a really nice presentation for a gift.
And they can be used by the receiver all over the house!
I found this basket for $3 - if I would have thought ahead more I would have bought baskets at The 'Will on a sale day to make the basket even less expensive.
I found the kitchen towels for $3.99 and $2.99 - $7 total.
Simply arrange them in the basket and you have a gift for less than $10.
I thought they looked a little plain so I took one towel and used my sewing machine to sew their last initial. Now, it looks complete! You could also sew a brand (which is what my original plan was but I figured the brand would be off since I would have to freehand it).
I would love to hear your simple and inexpensive ideas for housewarming gifts!

i really love this idea, the presentation is perfect and it looks so thoughtful! and who does like having a really nice set of matching towels (i sure would!).
That is Great!
What a cute idea!
I also have a post idea for you... Now that it's spring (for most of us), how about a post about planting a garden? I'm thinking about making balcony garden and I'd love tips on easy-to-grow veggies. :)
We have bought a wooden plaque with the picture of a snail to denote moving into the new house and engraved with the new home owners name below. They are delighted to receive this.
