5 Holiday Gifts for Your Friend Who Just Moved
Did you know research has shown that moving can be even more stressful than divorce? It’s true. However, here are Fresh Starts, we always see moving as a moment for re-birth, even if it is super stressful! Whether you’re moving out for the first time, moving across the world, moving out from a breakup, or moving into a new apartment, we’re here to help you on your journey, and we’re sure you have a friend or two who has just moved on your holiday gift list this year.
Check out our 5 gift ideas for the friend in your life who just moved.
House of Wise Smells Like (No) Stress Candle:
New places can smell…unfamiliar - and scent is so important when it comes to feeling settled in a new environment. We’re big fans of the Smells Like (No) Stress Candle from House of Wise - made from a natural soy wax blend with premium cotton wicks and custom fragrance oils, it’s nontoxic and contains no lead, plastics, paraben, synthetic dyes, or phthalates. Plus, we’re a little obsessed with the scent: it features cannabis accord, suede accord, rose, fig, violet, clove, and cedarwood, sandalwood, and amber - uh, yes please! A perfect gift for your friend who just moved.
USB Vacuum
Did you know vacuums are a love language? If so, we’re in love. Check out this USB vacuum - it’s cordless, handheld and lightweight - and the perfect way to clean the crevices of the new space. It weighs just 1.2 pounds and is the size of wine bottle! A perfect gift for your friend who just moved - utilitarian and small-size for apartment living or keep in the car! Plus, we love simplicity around here, and you can use a USB charger anywhere in your home and charge with ease.
Cotton Tote Bag
Moving is all about toting things around - up and down - this way and that! Gift your friend our Fresh Starts organic cotton tote bag to make their move just a smidge easier. Bonus: they can use the bag for groceries, books, and more! One simply cannot have too many cotton tote bags these days.
Cordless Drill + Tool Set
We have an unspoken agreement here at Fresh Starts that when a friend goes through a major life change, you always gift them a cordless drill! Who doesn’t need a cordless drill when you’re moving into a new space? There are endless ways to use it and it always comes in handy - especially when it comes to building new furniture and hanging things on the wall - all of the necessary tasks for a Fresh Start. This Black + Decker drill also comes with tools, so it’s a win-win gift idea.
Small Bluetooth USB Speaker
Music makes everything better - especially moving! Gift your friend who just moved a small bluetooth speaker they can easily move around their new place. Easy to charge, cordless, and barely takes up any space - perfect! Friendship bonus points: make them a playlist to listen to on the new speaker!
Plus, we rounded up some no-spend gift ideas for your friend who’s moving:
Bake them their fave treats and send over to them to enjoy in their new kitchen.
Create a Spotify playlist of their favorite music they can jam out to when they’re packing or unpacking.
Offer to babysit their kids so they can organize and clean up!
Help them make moving and packing lists.
Marco Polo with them while they’re unpacking to keep them company (bonus points: send them a meal to enjoy virtually with you!)
