  2. .A small aloe Vera plant is always good. Aloe Vera is said to help in healing of burns. Any plant will always be a reminder of your thoughtfulness.

  3. A vase (with some flowers).

    Now that you are a new couple you can bring her flowers and put them in the vase that you have bought her just because you thought about her all day....

  4. I wouldn't buy any decorations or trinkets! You never know if she'll like it or if it will fit with her decor.

    Flowers are always nice - especially if you already have them in a nice vase (which will be the actual present).

    If she drinks wine, a bottle would be a great house warming gift & you could give her a wine kit with it (corkscrew, bottle toppers, glasses, etc.)

    Although gift cards are practical, I wouldn't go that route now that yall are dating. It's too impersonal.

  5. at wal-mart they have scented candle  3 per sets for $9.00-$10.00. just don't get one that smells like food it will make her want to eat all the time.

  6. Try this, target, home accessories options are by price (eg: under $25, under $50 etc) (ps, I love the clock pictured on the under $50 box)

  7. maybe a small painting or like a plaque that says like "home is where the heart is" or something similar

  8. a gift card..then they could get what they really want

  9. basket of fruits, or wine.
