Housewarming gift to send via mail to a friend? Harry & David seems too typical and flowers are a waste of money (although I can be persuaded). Just want to send something thoughtful, not like an appliance or house gadget of some sort.

I honestly prefer flowers (they're pretty to have around) or a nice bottle of champagne. I really don't need more stuff that's not consumable or temporary. If there's a good local chocolate or dessert shop nearby that's always fun to order or have delivered.

Either prepare a night in gift basket or send one. Most are Italian. Harry&David does have at least one. Alot are marketed for families with a newborn.

I like the Harry&David gifts that include an personalized tray, cutting or charcuterie board so you can put their name, names, or message. Then they also have something usefull and permanent.
Like these. You can also add wine or bubbly

There’s lots of primarily online cute houseware brands - Bando, Rifle Paper Co., plus places like Crate and Barrel have gift options online.

You can never go wrong with a nice candle!

A space heater?

Bottle of wine and a fancy wine bottle opener. Bottle champagne (already mentioned) is good too.

Amazon charcuterie board, recipe book, gourmet nuts and cookies.

Nice olive oil? Otherwise fizz or flowers

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?
