When a newly-wed couple or young couple first take the massive step and move in together, there are so many things they will need. This is why several family members will have started hoarding items of furniture and useful things in their lofts and kept them up for the couple in question. It is an exciting time, but it can be very expensive as well with the couple quickly learning that they cannot have everything from new and are often having to beg or borrow household items from their family and friends.
For the family members who maybe haven't helped them out with their moving, packing, or given them several pairs of curtains from out of their loft, they might want to buy them something new and special. Ideas include:
1) Cutlery: Buying a couple their own cutlery will let them have matching knives and forks at their meal time and will be so much nicer than having odds and ends from their parents spares to use. Especially useful if they want to start entertaining their friends and family.
2) Table Wear Set: Again, matching plates, bowls, dishes and even mugs would look really great in their new home especially when they start inviting people round to visit and see how they are settling in. Also, thinking of their special meals and celebrations they will have together as a couple, you will have made these occasions just a little bit more special because they will have their special set to use.
3) Bathroom Sets: Whether it be the set for around the toilet and accompanying bath mat or the toothbrush holder and matching soap dish. Having new things in your bathroom is really nice and will give it a fresh and well looked after feel, rather than having lots of random looking second hand items. The bathroom will be used by guests, although it is a personal space, so keep everything well organized and clean looking, which is very important. Helping them to achieve this is really nice because there's nothing worse than using someone's bathroom when it looks dirty and messy!
4) Towels: this is another area where a young couple will have been given many odds and ends of left over sets, but if you know the color scheme in their new bathroom you can get them guest towels and hand towels to make it look really nice. Alternatively getting them the supersized fluffy bath towels for his and hers will also make them feel like a couple and they will have a least one lovely bath towel each.
5) Bed Linen: this is also a very personal item and although having your mom and dad's old ones is ok, having your own new ones is probably going to help them sleep better. When you have freshly washed new lovely sheets it can make your bed feel like the happiest place on earth.
Any of these gifts would help a young couple feel a little more independent and like they are really making a home together, it will help them have a few things to call their own and help them start their new life together.
