AP9 HomeWorksPlus Presents Tasteful Gifts Ideas for a New Neighbor
AP9 HomeWorks Plus offers easy, inexpensive, and creative ideas to welcome a new family to the neighborhood.
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) February 10, 2007 -- Moving to a new neighborhood is just kind of like the first day of school - you don't know anybody and feel like a fish out of water. So it may come as a pleasant surprise when a new neighbor knocks at the door, offers a "welcome to the neighborhood" gift and a friendly smile. AP9 HomeWorksPlus, a leading membership discount program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC, provides members with helpful tips on how to make new neighbors feel welcomed without having to bust the budget.
AP9 HomeWorks Plus allows members to save on just about all of their home decorating, home improvement and home maintenance projects by logging on to HomeWorksPlus123.com. There they will find discounts of up to 20% at national home improvement and home retail stores across the country - savings perfect for purchasing gifts for new neighbors.
Giving a welcome gift doesn't have to be expensive. AP9 HomeWorksPlus recommends usefulness before expensiveness. Whenever picking out a housewarming gift, try to purchase items new home dwellers might need the most. AP9 HomeWorks Plus suggests the following items that will surely come in handy to those new families on the block.
Deliver a move-in survival kit - This kit will come in handy since it includes such items as: paper plates and cups, plastic flatware, a can opener, a phone book, a bottle of aspirin, and maybe some flowers. Be creative and remember the little things you needed when you first moved into your new place. Think of items that are not too expensive but useful. For families with small children, include crayons and coloring books.
Arrange for a town tour - Give the gift of personal time. Volunteer to show the new neighbors where stores, schools, parks, and other services are located. It'll be a great opportunity to get to know them and for them to get to know the neighborhood.
Make something special - Give the gift of yourself by making something homemade. Baked goods, a painted welcome sign, a flower arrangement or a simple basket of fruit are just a few ideas. These items are usually graciously accepted since it came from the heart.
Make a neighborhood phonebook - This is an excellent idea for the people who are very involved in the community. List all names, addresses and phone numbers of neighbors on the block and put them into a three-ring binder for the new neighbors. It is also helpful to include important local phone numbers such as schools and healthcare facilities. Let them know resources for neighborhood snow removal, leaf removal and local babysitters.
All these ideas require personal time and effort - not money. They will also be more useful to a new neighbor than a very expensive bottle of wine for example. Tasteful gifts given with a warm smile just might make a new neighbor's move much more special, concludes AP9 HomeWorksPlus.
