House warming gift ideas?

I am going to a house warming BBQ this weekend for a girl I used to work with. Her and her husband were recently married and just moved into a new home. I am not quite sure what to get them since they have lived together for a while and pretty much already have everything. I also dont want to spend a crazy amount b/c we arent as close as we were considering we no longer work together. Any ideas?

Re: House warming gift ideas?

How about doing a search on the registry sistes: BBB, Macys, etc..see if they have one and if anything is left.
You could always do a GC to BBB.
A nice bottle of wine and accesories- pretty wine stopper, wine glass charms, etc.

You could do a set of four martini glasses and a bottle of Vodka and a jar of olives!

A lucky bamboo plant. I brought one to my sil/bil home when they moved in. I had no clue what to get them and they loved it.

i love to give these from Williams and Sonoma with the dish soap and hand lotion:

They have a few different scents. They also make a counter spray and candles and an all purpose cleaner.

Re: House warming gift ideas?

Ladies I just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I ended up getting a print from a photographer I found at a craft fair a few weeks ago. I contacted my friends sister to see what would work and she said beach photos would be great so that's what I got and I put in a really nice 11x14 antique looking white frame. She loved it! I also got another print for myself and I love the photographers work. Here is what I got, top for her and 2nd for me. Here is the website if you were interested in taking a look. Link
