Last Segment, Studio 5 ... New Neighbor Gifts!

I blinked, and before I know it ... two weeks has gone by! I thought before I did another Studio 5 segment tomorrow (or in one minute today!) I probably better post my last segment huh!

Enjoy ideas for New Neighbor Gifts, and some additional information!



Fresh Ideas to Welcome the New Neighbors

I have to admit.  I am a pro after moving 5 times in 6 years! I have been welcomed time and time again by thoughtful neighbors, and wanted to help you find some great ways to bring something than the usual “cookies” to your new friends. Here are five fresh gift ideas your new neighbors will love.

It’s “berry” nice to meet you



Strawberry season is underway, so create a darling bucket to say hello and give your neighbor some yummy strawberry themed gifts!

We hope our friendship grows

Because it is spring, it is the perfect time for gardner’s. This is a great way to tell your new neighbors that you’re excited to be friends as well as neighbors.

Welcome to the town

Sometimes moving to a new community can be overwhelming. What restaurants are best, where are the best parks? Create a cute bag to give information that will help relieve the stress for your new neighbors.



History of City (can be found at your local city building)
City Map with stickers to your favorite locations including parks and trails
Local food (apples from local orchard, candy, local bakery’s)
Useable gadgets for kids to keep them occupied while unpacking


Call if we can lend a hand

It seems like the first thing people need when moving is soap for the dishes, a hammer to hang frames with, a few paper towels … and why not help out the new neighbors with a few supplies to get them through their busy weeks ahead of them!
           


Meyers Cleaning products (hand soap, dish soap, countertop spray found at Target)
Mara Mi Compact Tool set (from Target)
Paper Towels


Meal while Moving

Moving is a really stressful time, and while packing and unpacking boxes time seems to slip away. Before you know it, your kids are starving and pizza seems to be the only option! Here is a simple basket to help relieve stress from the new move!


Hamburger pre-cooked and put into jars        
Condiments all in mason jars (cheese, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, olives)
Box of taco shells
Cookies for dessert!
