Default Re: welcome gift?

A lot depends on what they bought -- new or resale and, if resale, turnkey or unfurnished. I don't know if it is doable here, but the nicest gift I got when I first moved in my townhouse was a basket of condiments -- boy, did that ever come in handy!

Other nice gifts: a basket of soaps, lotions; cheese and bread basket. I know there is at least one shop that sells fruit on a stick bouquets and, of course, the cookie bouquets. Gift cards to Publix or SweetBay or Barnes & Noble.
