Housewarming Gift - What To Give? Login/Join

I need help. My wife is a computer programmer and one of the other programmers is moving in to a new house. He is having a housewarming party this weekend. My wife isn't sure what to bring for him as a gift.

The guy is a programmer, a minimalist (doesn't like a lot of stuff on his desk). He is a bodybuilder and spends a lot of time working out. He eats healthy and doesn't drink. A plant would probably die.

So I need some housewarming gift ideas for her. What do you recommend?

If he has a yard, cars, etc. and may ever lay hands on each of them, get him a big digging rod from HD or Lowe's. This is my go-to for new homeowners, along with the explanation that I don't know what they will use it for first, nor do they.

But when they need a big freakin' steel rod to break, dig, pry, knock, etc. something they will have it and thank me for it. My nephew I last gave one to was about 6 years in before I got the call, and yeah he was laughing at my foresight.

If he eats healthy, maybe a nice wood cutting board or good chef's knife? A leather snap valet tray can be useful.

What is your budget? Maybe a good crockpot?? But that might not be too useful to someone who works out a lot. Don't think there are too many crockpot tofu recipes... Smile

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
