Hey! We go to the dollar store and get a strainer, shrink wrap( it comes with a bow), colorful tissue paper and 2 wine glasses. Then we go to the grocery store and get a pack of noodles, pasta sauce, and a bottle of wine( cheap but good quality). We put all the goodies inside the strainer, wrap it in the shrink wrap and bow. All comes out to less than $15 dollars and it is a perfect quick move-in dinner gift for new residents and they get to keep the wine glasses and strainer!

I usually make a folder with information in the area, like near by schools, stores, restaurant's I also include Information on our pool rules and policy. I also make a basket with pine sol, toilet paper, paper towels, finish. I wrap it up and make it look pretty. I buy everything at the dollar tree. total price per gift if $5.00.... Cheap but beauitful

We provide items that can be immediately useful - dish detergent, paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, small trash can w liners, sponge, door mat.

Give them the best move-in gift of all, Updater! Updater provides the resident an efficient move-in experience that includes direct links to forward mail, set up utilities, update their accounts (think loyalty programs such as Marriott, Southwest, etc), purchase their renters insurance, find a professional moving company, set up Internet/cable, find local deals, connect to DMV/voters registration, and several more steps. The cost is incredibly inexpensive and your residents will love you for it.

We did the plunger idea. We put a roll of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels on the handle.

This is made with 99 cent store stuff!
