I didn't know that builders give you a gift to say thank you and welcome to your new home? For those of us who have built and moved into their new homes - what did your builder give you to say thanks - if anything at all????? Re: House Warming Gifts 3Dec 12, 2007 11:23 am I think the standard PD gift is white towels and white ceramic stuff for the bathroom.
the towels have come in handy as guest towels  Re: House Warming Gifts 4Dec 12, 2007 11:29 am My last estate agent left a nice basket of goodies for when I moved in.
Nice wine, good quality chocolate, nibbles etc. Will I recommend him - you bet - he was very professional and good to deal with - and I was the buyer

The towels became the dog's towels and the ceramic bathroom accessories haven't seen the light of day and are hiding somewhere. Hehe I wish I got what bmp got. That sounds so cool and woulda been fab!

Re: House Warming Gifts 15Jan 07, 2008 1:58 pm Update - housewarming gifts are nice - if you actually get them. The company that is supposed to do our dinner Wine & DineM keep saying "someone will call you back".
It's been a month and the dinner only has a 2 month validity. Just build it the way I want and everything will be okay. 31 May 2007 1,041 Member 05 Dec 2007 29 Brisbane Junior Member Re: House Warming Gifts 17Feb 02, 2008 7:21 am We got our gift yesterday... a hamper with goodies and a USB keyring with the builders name on it and it has photos that the supervisor has taken throughout the whole building process. I thought that was a fantastic idea!!
