So, in this light, here are some super practical, somewhat festive, and thoughtful gift ideas for those on our list who will be moving in 2025.
Whether they're moving around the corner or across the country,everyone knows what a hassle it is to pack, load up and relocate. Considergiving the gift of hiring a professional mover to perform these services forthem. Imagine the look on their face(s) when they realize these chores will betaken care of by a knowledgeable moving company.
Those who are downsizing may need temporary storage space whilethey're getting settled into a smaller space. There may be other reasons whythis acquisition of temporary storage could be beneficial for those who aremoving and might not even have a place to reside yet. You may want to considergiving the gift of additional space to those who may need this on a short-termbasis. This space could be as simple as providing a corner of your basement orgarage to store things free of charge temporarily.
Gift certificates are a common present where recipients eitherchoose what they wish to purchase or partake in a pre-chosen place or event toenjoy. Especially for those who are moving to an unfamiliar town or a locationin another state, gift cards could be chosen specifically to explore a new,local arena, location, or event. Consider gifting one of the following: a trip to the zoo or theme park in the area, eventshappening soon for them to attend giving them a break after moving, a giftcertificate to a favorite chain or well-loved local restaurant (check onlinereview sites for possibilities), or massage sessions or a spa day forrelaxation after moving.
There are also different types of memberships to consider such asthose to a local gym, museum, Performing Arts Center, Golf or Country Club.Think about what they enjoy, and this gift can be a special way to welcome themto this new area without being there yourself.
There is a plethora of presents to consider in the moving supplycategory with boxes, tape, markers, packing materials to protect fragile itemsfrom damage, etc. But remember to think a little bit “out of the box” (punintended) when it comes to making these choices. While rolls of tape are agreat choice, be sure to grab one a tape gun to really speed up the process.There are also other items that are needed when relocating including shelfliners, cleaning supplies, and a wide variety of paper products, plates, TP,towels, and disposable utensils - the list goes on. Other options include giftswith their new address printed on return labels or a personalized, decorativesign to adorn the door or yard of their updated residence.
When relocating after the holidays have passed, you can still stepup to the plate to give your friends or family a thoughtful gift on or beforemoving day. A care package might include necessities for arrival to their newlocation that won't have them scrambling around opening boxes. This containercould hold often forgotten about items including toiletries, new toothbrushesand toothpaste, instant coffee, travel-sized items like shampoo, anon-perishable breakfast or maybe even something to snack on.
Any of these gifts are not only practical, but they're also verythoughtful which makes them a perfect present for anyone who has a move on thehorizon.
