Great Presents For The Newlyweds
Getting your first apartment at any age can be both fun and frustrating, especially if you don’t have the resources to buy all the furniture you need, or stock the kitchen with really cool appliances and tools. But this is why we have friends and family! If you know some newlyweds who need some help getting up and running as they move into their new apartment, here are some perfect gift ideas.
It seems once someone is settled in, the first thing they want to do is have everyone over for dinner. Of course, it never fails – there are never enough chairs for everyone! A really appreciated gift is to get them a set of dining chairs. Since this could run into some serious cash, have everyone pitch in and buy one dining room chair… Especially before the next dinner party!
If space is an issue, there are really nice options that are even stackable! All the chairs can fit into a corner when not in use. These can be found at mass retailers, online, ebay, local classified ads, or even estate sales. If you do decide on stackables, check out stores that specialize in furniture for tight spaces. You can usually buy these in pairs. Some styles might need to be assembled.
Another much appreciated item is a convection oven. These have become quite popular over the past few years because they save energy by forcing foods to cook faster than they would in a regular oven. Unlike a microwave, foods look and brown as they would normally would. They come in all sizes and price ranges, but a good one can be found for under $100. These can cook a wide variety of foods – even entire meals. A normal sized unit can handle a five pound chicken, four baked potatoes, and a vegetable casserole. A perfect combination for the next dinner party with all the new chairs!
And no home should be without a good quality food prep station, preferably a black decker food processor. These are heavy duty and have great attachments to do just about anything including making frozen drinks, grinding meats, or even blending smoothies.
They can handle heavy tasks like grinding meats and crushing ice. A few attachments can even make bread dough. It will really come in handy, too, at the next dinner party when they make you your favorite frozen drinks!
Almost everything can be found at great prices if you shop smart. Online sites frequently have deals for free shipping. Check local coupons to see if you can use them online, too. (Just don’t ship anything to the new apartment until you know someone will be there to sign for it!)
