Martha Stewart’s Housewarming Bucket is all over pinterest, but there wasn’t a list included. While not as cute as Martha’s galvanized bucket, I chose items based on the new (first time) home owner’s personality and needs.
Things included in my housewarming bucket basket:
- Pinesol
- Scrubbing Bibbles
- Clorox wipes
- Goo Gone
- Magic Erasers
- Pledge
- scrubbing sponges
- dishwasher detergent
- trash bags
- duct tape
- scented jar candle
- fly swatters
- extension cord
- hammer
- nails
- measuring tape
- furniture pads
- level
- lighter
- champagne – a new house is something to be celebrated!
I used Stampin’ Up stamps to make a card with the new address. Celebrate stamp is in background in bronze, and the number stamps are on top in black.
I tied it all together with the Celebrate! ribbon from the Dollar Tree, with the card hanging from the ribbon.
Other things to include in a house warming or move in gift include:
- Hardware store gift card
- pizza delivery gift card
- Solo cups (I brought Dixie cups for the champagne)
- paper plates
- plastic utensils
- watering can
- paint brush
- paint thinner
- painter’s tape
- light bulbs
- broom or Swiffer
- small potted plant
- liquid dish detergent
- batteries
- paper towels
- toilet paper
- shower curtain liner
