We have a place called Pinball Palace that has over a hundred pinball machines, arcade games including the classics, bounce houses for the kids and they serve beer and wine! I like to give a gift certificate from there and it has been a hit and a great way to promote local business!
I LOVE THIS! What a great gift!! Thanks for sharing!
I put together a laundry basket and fill it with paper plates, plastic silverware , napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, foil, Saran Wrap, cleaning wipes, laundry soap (always do the free and clear no scents) dishwasher soap, batteries, sponges, dish towels, etc. I also do a address stamp. I try to think of all those things that are packed and you have no clue where they are and you are just trying to survive moving day, It is always well received.
This is such a great idea! Moving time can be overwhelming and stressful…I’m sure this is very well received and appreciated! Love it!
Just make sure you know your client well. They might not use disposable plates, cutlery, or napkins if they’re environmentally conscious!
Yes, that’s a key point in gift giving…pay attention and give them a wonderful gift that’s perfect and Suits Them! 🙂
Fact that I enjoy pen and ink drawings, I do a rendering of their new house plus 24 note cards. Always appreciated.
What a beautiful and unique gift! I’m sure they love it!
I give the ladies a Tiffany and Co. key chain, with either Home Sweet Home or their name engraved. Sorry guys, They get a fire extinquisher, plus the name of a local handyman with a check to pay for some item they wanted changed or fixed in their new home. Always something, if you listen to them durning walk thru.
Yes, great ideas!
Hi Jaymie,
I like your ideas. A very popular gift is a house portrait drawn from a photo. Realtors choose the sketches and watercolors and will typically request that it includes something like “The Taylor Residence” to personalize it further. Priced from $70 and done in a few days. https://www.giveamasterpiece.com/house-portraits-from-photo.asp
Rick, what a wonderful idea! Thank you 🙂
I love the “I’m a homeowner, now what” log book – but it is no longer available. Do you have a different equivalent replacement log book for this? I am curious to know!
That’s been so darn popular. It looks like it’s temporarily unavailable but I did see that if you click on the button below “Go To Abe’s Books” below that you can order it there. The shipping is higher I see though. This one is popular too and you may like it “New Home Journal: Record all repairs, upgrades…”
