My friend who works at <a href="https://flashessay.com/term-paper-writing" rel="nofollow">flashessay</a> is moving to the new apartment next week so I think I need to give her an idea about the housewarming party since I have these awesome gifts ideas now.

I was thinking about throwing one when my husband and I bought our first house, but it took so long to make it look halfway decent. We didn't have much furniture for the longest time. But I remember reading an article by the New York Times talking about the death of a the house party. The pretty much blamed Millennials' lack of money. They pointed out that many people lived with their parents, or enjoyed the quietness once they were able to move out. Plus food culture has gotten much more crazy (but I think that is a good thing.) You can't just buy a six pack of Budweiser with dinner. You need to cook something nice AND provide nice booze. I mean I have to agree with this. Gotta serve the best right? But the biggest thing I think, is that with the internet sometimes it easier to stay friends with people who are far away and you can't have a housewarming party with those people. I mean most of my friends are an hour or so away.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730633559388953224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-18125150963376405522016-10-22T20:24:32.082-05:002016-10-22T20:24:32.082-05:00Ha, I totally understand.

But that actually makes us a lot more grateful for our new place, haha!Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-18751378790248321752016-10-20T06:31:59.706-05:002016-10-20T06:31:59.706-05:00I love housewarming parties, but we don't get ...I love housewarming parties, but we don't get a lot of them. Our circle of friends either has people in stable houses they can't afford to leave, or are renters, where moving to a new apartment usually means a disappointing reason for leaving the last place... it can not always be a happy occasion. <br />I like little plants, home made food and scented stuff (candles, those scented sticks) as presents when I do get a chance though. <br /><br />I've been binge reading your blog after several people have linked to it lately and am very much enjoying it!

It might be a regional thing, more than a generational thing. But the Boston metropolitan area has housewarmings! (I'm going to one this Saturday to be precise :) )<br /><br />And, I'm not gonna lie, my usual present is a bottle of booze. Usually a decent bottle of wine.<br /><br />-- Tegantrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946523756252619505noreply@blogger.com
