Quick and Inexpensive Housewarming Gift

 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!

    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.

    Oh this is nice!! I like the basket and the personalization.. and its thoughtful without having to spend a lot! I usually buy a lot of my housewarming gifts online at lbmgifts.com. They have some really cute magazine coasters and pearl frames that I'd love for my self!! But next time I want to spend a bit more time and really make it a personal gift, I'm so going to do this!
