Practical Gift Ideas for Friends or Family Who are Moving to Colorado Springs in 2020

Moving to a new homeBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

The arrival of the holidays and period of giving tend to be a stressful period and incorporating moving to a new home in Colorado Springs into the mix can make it even crazier and disorderly, but it still happens. Finding just the right present for family or friends is usually hard enough on its own and much more complex if you think about these recipients tend not to really want (or need) extra "stuff" to bring along when moving to a new place.

Thus, in this light, here are some very practical, somewhat festive and clever present ideas for anyone on our list who will be moving to Colorado Springs in 2020.

Gift A Professional Mover

Regardless of whether they are moving around the corner or a fair distance, everybody knows what a hassle it is to pack, load up and move. Contemplate providing them with a gift certificate for or some funds toward getting a professional mover in Colorado Springs to perform these services for them. Picture the look on their face(s) when they realize these tasks shall be taken care of by a knowledgeable moving company.

Send a Storage Space

For those who are downsizing, they might need short-term storage space while they're getting settled into a smaller sized space. There might be additional reasons why this acquisition of non permanent storage may be good for those who find themselves moving to Colorado Springs because of a new job opportunity so they might not even have a location to stay yet. In the event that several of these unique circumstances exist, you might want to think about presenting the gift of additional space to those which may need this on a short-term basis. This space could be as basic as presenting a nook of your basement or garage to store things without charge in the short term.

Giving Gifts for a New Location

Gift cards can be a typical present where recipients either pick the things they would like to buy or partake in a pre-chosen spot or happening to enjoy. Especially for those who are moving to an unfamiliar place or possibly a place in another state, these gift cards may be picked particularly to experience a new, community stadium, location or happening when choosing:

 

  • A day at the zoo or amusement park in the area
  • Activities taking place in the near future for them to go to getting them a break after moving (search for calendars in their specific city)
  • A gift card to a favorite chain or well-loved neighborhood eating place (check out online review sites for possibilities)
  • Massage sessions or a spa day for relaxing after moving

 

There are a variety of subscriptions to consider for example those to a local fitness center, museum, Performing Arts Center, Golf or Country Club. Take into consideration whatever they take pleasure in and this present might be a special approach to welcome them to this new place without being there yourself.

Wrap Up A few Moving Supplies

You will find a plethora of gifts to consider in the moving supply category with boxes, tape, markers, packing materials to shield sensitive items from harm, and so forth. But don't forget to think a little bit "out of the box" when it comes to making these selections. While rolls of tape are a fantastic option, be sure to pick up a hand-held tape dispenser to really speed up the process. There are also items which are necessary when moving like shelf inserts, cleaning products, plus a wide variety of paper items, plates, TP, bath towels, as well as throw away utensils - the list goes on.

Remember to "pack up" these presents and wrap them in a festive way or make them appear as a box destined for the new house. Other options include things like items with their new street address printed on such as a customized, ornamental sign to decorate the door or yard of their new house.

A Thoughtful Non-Seasonal Gift

When moving after the holidays have passed, you might still step up to the plate to give your friends or loved ones a thoughtful gift on or before moving day. A care package could include necessities for arrival at their new residence which won't have them running around opening cartons. This package might hold regularly overlooked items including toiletries, new toothbrushes and toothpaste, coffee, travel-sized items like shampoo, a non-perishable morning meal, snack food items or edible items.

Any one of these presents aren't just useful, but they are extremely clever making them a perfect gift for our relatives who are moving to Colorado Springs prior to, soon after or over the season.

Best. Move. Ever!
Very pleased with the overall respect and care the men gave to my possessions. Even mailing me very quickly the only thing lost in transit. Would recommend to anyone needing a long distant move.
