The characters move on to embark on the next era of their lives, even though it’s painful to see everyone part ways. If you have a friend moving out of state soon, you may be feeling the same way. But the end of one era doesn’t mean the world has to get a little dimmer.
Your friend is probably stressed and busy and struggling to find time to say goodbye to people while she packs up her life and prepares to move. Show her that you care by giving her a gift that will improve her moving experience or remind her of home.
Not sure what the perfect gift for someone moving out of state or abroad would be? It comes down to a couple categories:
Still need some inspiration? Use this complete list of goodbye gift ideas for friends. You’re bound to find something that suits their spirit!
Meal Delivery Kit
Those first few weeks of settling into a new house can be pretty hectic. And the idea of grocery shopping or, god forbig, getting back into the routine of meal prepping sounds like torture. Help your friends out by signing them up for a meal delivery subscription. Your friend will be so happy to come home to the ingredients for a meal that takes 30 minutes to toss together. If your friend is big on healthy eating but not so great at work-life balance, this is an excellent gift for her.
Magazine Subscription
Warm up that new mailbox with a magazine subscription from a publication your friend enjoys. Whether that’s the Wall Street Journal or Cosmopolitan Magazine. Coming home to a little customized light reading always helps break in a new home. Also, every time that magazine arrives, they will think of you!
Photo Book
Do you have too many amazing memories together to count? Organize your wedding photos and vacations abroad into a beautiful photo book that your friend can cherish whenever she feels lonely.
A Hometown Delicacy
Do you have a world class coffee shop in your hometown? Or maybe there’s a museum your friend is absolutely obsessed with. Pick up a little delicacy from a hometown hallmark that your friend can place in their new home. It’s amazing what bringing the best from your hometown can do for your new home.
Gift Certificate to an Awesome Place in Their New Town
While sentimental gifts areas always a winning choice, helping your friend adaptto their new neighborhood is always a good friend move. Do some research and find one of the better restaurants, bars, or even spas in town. Think about what your friend likes. Are they big on monthly pedicures or do they prefer to wind down with a pizza and a glass of wine? You know your friend best! Pair them with the perfect night out.
Energy Cleansing Kit
OK, this one is for your friend who believes in energy cleansing. She is moving into a new home, which means someone else’s energy may still be lingering about. Give her a hand and buy her an energy cleansing kit. Most kits include sage and palo santo, along with some essential oils.
Housewarming Goods
Is your friend a candle aficionado? Does she think home equals wine and cozy blankets? Put together a housewarming basket of all her favorite cozy items. It could be fun to mail the kit to your friend so it arrives on the day that she does! Or you could wait until she’s settled in a bit. You know your friend best!
An “Essential” Store Gift Card
OK, back to the practical stuff. If your friend is the kind of person who goes nuts stocking up for the apocalypse at Costco or buys can openers “just in case” it may be a good idea to buy her a gift card to a store like Target, Costco, or TJMaxx. This could also be a good gift for a friend who isn’t very practical and may gave forgotten basic stuff when packing … like a frying pan.
You’re about to be the best friend there ever was! Just remember, this gift is supposed to support your friend during this move, not coax her to stay in your hometown. Keep your eyes on the new era, and you will come up with the perfect going away gift for your friend.
