Friend has got the keys to her first house today. I have a card and a bottle of wine but wanted a small gift to put in the house. She has toasters and all that sort of stuff having previously rented.

Any ideas? Want to purchase today before the shops close as I'm off round there to help paint.

A pot plant in a nice pot.

Oh, an orchid! They always make a room look nice.

Some sort of money bank, and put a few pennies in it to get her started

Sorry I didn't reply. I got a welcome mat and a scented candle as well as the standard welcome to your home card and a bottle bubbles. Went down well. Been there since about 5 painting frigging walls.

Might get a few more bits tomorrow, since I'm nice like that, including the bumper pack of condoms which will stay in my wallet wink

Even though you've been painting the walls since 5?

I once brought someone a tesco value doormat to their flat warming party. Actually went down pretty well.
