Practical Gift Ideas for Friends or Family Who are Moving to Little Rock in 2020

Moving to a new homeBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

The advent of the holiday season and season of giving are nearly always a hectic time of year and incorporating moving to a new residence in Little Rock in the mix can make it even crazier and chaotic, but it still takes place. Finding just the right gift item for family or friends is usually hard enough alone and a lot more complex when you consider these recipients don't truly want (or need) more "stuff" to pack when moving to a new location.

Thus, in this light, here are a few very functional, relatively festive and innovative gift ideas for those on our list who'll be moving to Little Rock in the New Year.

Offer A Professional Mover

No matter whether they are moving around the corner or perhaps across the country, everybody knows what a inconvenience it really is to pack, load up and relocate. Think about getting them a gift certificate for or some funds toward getting a professional mover in Little Rock to perform these services for them. Imagine the look on their face(s) once they understand these tasks shall be covered by a knowledgeable moving company.

Send a Storage Space

If you're downsizing, they might require temporary storage room when they are getting settled in a scaled-down place. There might be additional reasons why this acquisition of temporary storage may be good for those who find themselves moving to Little Rock because of a new job opportunity and they would possibly not even have a place to reside yet. If several of these particular situations are present, you might want to think about providing the gift of extra space to those who might need this on a short-term basis. This place may be as basic as providing a part of your basement or garage to hold items at no cost temporarily.

Giving Gifts for a New Location

Gift cards are a common gift where recipients either choose the things they want to purchase or partake in a pre-chosen spot or event to enjoy. Especially for those people who are moving to a new area or even a location in a different state, these prepaid cards may be picked particularly to enjoy a new, local stadium, place or function when buying:

 

  • A trip to the zoo or amusement park in the community
  • Festivals taking place soon for them to go to providing them a break soon after moving (search for event calendars in their respective city)
  • A gift certificate to a popular chain or well-loved local restaurant (look at online review sites for options)
  • Massage sessions or a spa day for relaxation soon after moving

 

There are also a variety of memberships to consider for example those to a nearby health club, museum, Performing Arts Center, Golf or Country Club. Think about the things they delight in and this present might be a unique strategy to welcome them to this new area without being there yourself.

Wrap Up Some Moving Supplies

You will find a plethora of gifts to bear in mind in the moving supply classification with containers, tape, markers, packing materials to guard sensitive belongings from damage, etc. But don't forget to think a little "out of the box" with regards to making these selections. Although rolls of tape will be a great selection, be sure to grab one of those hand-held tape dispenser to really speed up the task. There's also items which are important when relocating such as shelf inserts, cleaning products, and a wide range of paper items, plates, toilet paper, bath towels, as well as throw away utensils - the list goes on.

Be sure and "pack up" these gifts and wrap them in a holiday way or make them appear as a bundle destined for the new home. Other options include things like presents with their new home address printed on for instance a personalized, decorative sign to decorate the door or lawn of their updated residence.

A Thoughtful Non-Seasonal Present

If relocating following the holidays have passed, you can still step up to the plate to give your friends or loved ones a considerate present on or before moving day. A care package could include essentials for arrival to their new house which won't have them running around opening cartons. This container may contain frequently overlooked items such as toiletries, new toothbrushes and toothpaste, coffee, travel-sized items like shampoo, a non-perishable breakfast, snack foods or edible items.

These gift ideas aren't only sensible, but they are also very thoughtful making them an ideal present for our relatives who are moving to Little Rock before, following or during the season.

Very pleased with the overall respect and care the men gave to my possessions. Even mailing me very quickly the only thing lost in transit. Would recommend to anyone needing a long distant move.
