What's your go-to place for gifts?

I'm a terrible shopper and need to find a housewarming present for some friends who bought a place in San Diego months ago.  Any inspiration would be appreciated.

Re: What's your go-to place for gifts?

  • TJ Maxx, Stein Mart or Pier 1.

    Personally I go to Pier 1 first. They always seem to have the best prices and it can usually be exchanged with out any problems. Plus they have both basic pieces and funky ones. Did I mention their candles are heavenly???

  • the only bummer with pier1 is you can't order online. ;(

    do you want to have something shipped directly?  I, too, like uncommon goods, redenvelope.com, smartbargains.com, overstock.com

    or you could send a bottle of wine/champagne.

  • Target (giftcards), World Market, Hallmark, and Steinmart.

    I like https://www.uncommongoods.com/, Harry and David, Target gift cards.

    these but add in William Sonoma. H&D has some great sales on now too.

  • For housewarming, I usually do a consumer reports subscrption, a home depot/lowes gift card, or something from red envelope. The Harry and David suggestion is a good one, too.

  • Crate and Barrel or Williams Sonoma
  • I love the glassware at Crate and Barrel.  They have great bowls, platters, glasses, etc at good prices.
  • Is it their first place?  I don't think you can go wrong with a Home Depot gift card - there are so many things that first time home buyers need there.

  • oh and you could say something on the card like

    "now that the dust has settled, we wanted to send you a little something to help with the projects you have underway"

  • Thanks, everyone!  I always draw a total blank when I have to come up with random gifts.  I'd like to send them something directly, but I'm not opposed to ordering online & shipping either.  This gives me a good list.  Thanks again!

    I'm also a big fan of Crater and Barrel. Williams-Sonoma is lovely, but I always find it a little pricey for me.
