New Home Gift Ideas
This will be our first christmas in our new home.
We are trying to think of things to have people buy us that are "house" related instead of useless gifts we won't use.
What tools/accessories/etc do you have that you use in your house on a pretty regular basis? Or what is something you would want?
For example:
The one thing I know that is on our list is the folding snack tables.

My girlfriend told me to start going to garage sales and look for stuff like that. Homeowners don't want to schlep that stuff with them, and it's cheaper than buying at the store.

I use my folding step stool a few times a month. Hanging pictures, putting things up on high shelves, cleaning on top of the fridge, etc. It's a rubbermaid one that we got a target.

Re: New Home Gift Ideas
There is a great book by Home Depot that shows you how to do easy home improvements and fix things around the house. I think it is called 1-2-3 Home Improvements. It comes in VERY handy!!
