With Christmas right around the corner, it seems appropriate to talk about how moving affects gift-giving.
If someone is moving, you shouldn’t get them any gift that comes to mind, because some items might severely complicate their upcoming move. For example, buy them a big piece of furniture may require them to rent a moving truck.
So, before you pay, think about how the person will move the gift. It might be best to have it delivered to their new home.
Buying a present because a person is moving is a different game; however, the same rules apply. Here are some easy-to-move going away present ideas:
- Souvenir from their hometown
- Bottle of wine
- Picture of you together
- Small sculpture – Big ones, and paintings, can be very tough to move.
