To get a welcome package for neighbour moving in tomorrow?

[Imfinallyhappy1]

We have a new neighbour moving in tomorrow, I’ve never met them but I used to live in the house until it was sold about 8 months ago.

I moved next door as it came up for rent when our landlord gave us notice.

I have a small hamper basket and was going to write the bin collection times, useful info like posties name, some tea, coffee, biscuits etc. Just some bits for moving in day.

Is there anything else that would be good? Or helpful?

What a lovely idea! I don't think you need to add anything else. I would be over the moon to receive that from a friendly welcoming neighbour!

Sounds a lovely idea xxx

What a lovely, thoughtful thing to do! Maybe some local takeaway menus for if they don't want to cook on moving day?

Ooooo brill idea velociraptor I’ll pick some up, i was also thinking a small toilet roll, hand soap etc. You know the niggly bits lol

John Lewis vouchers? Cash? A new car? I actually think it's a bit creepy. Soz.

Giving your new neighbours toilet roll is seriously creepy.

Fair enough pepper we are pretty welcoming around these parts :)

Maybe not the loo roll then lol

Wow where do you live? That doesn't happen by me 😂

Our neighbors chipped in and got us a really nice bird feeder as a welcome gift. We're still using it 12 years later.

I'm sure you mean well but you really ought to just let them be. If i was moving.in and someone knocked on my door to give me toilet paper I would be really freaked out.

I personally think it's very thoughtful.

What a kind thought! A pint of milk would be very welcome.

Loo roll might be going above and beyond the people I bought my house off left me non-alcoholic wine, chocolates, the bin schedule and the dishwasher instructions, all of which were much appreciated

Everything other than loo roll sounds great

Definitely toilet roll!

I think it's a lovely idea - including the toilet roll!

I think it's a lovely idea.

I'll never forget moving into my first home & my neighbour appearing with a pot of tea. It was most welcome & the teapot it was in was a gift for me. We were good friends for 13 years until we moved. I still have the tea pot & think about her every time I use it.

I think thats such a kind thought. Theres nothing creepy about the loo roll either. I'd have been really touched if a neighbour had done anything like that for me when I bought my home

Yeah I wouldn’t be happy at receiving that either; I’d think it was really invasive and full on.

Then again I have absolutely no desire to even want to know my neighbours, let alone socialise with them.

Useful info with biscuits or chocs or bottle of wine = lovely friendly neighbour. Full welcome hamper (whilst done with the best intentions) = scary curtain twitcher

Lovely idea. We took our new neighbours a bottle of wine.

I think it sounds lovely, and really thoughtful. I would have loved this (including the toilet roll)

If i was moving.in and someone knocked on my door to give me toilet paper I would be really freaked out.

Wouldn't we all. But that's not what the OP is doing. She's introducing herself as a friendly face and giving them a hamper of general useful bits for moving in day - the sort of things that most people forget in amongst all the other stuff they have to remember when packing up and moving - and info about the local area. She's not mutely handing them a bit of bog roll like some weirdo.
OP I think it's a lovely idea.

I’d hate that i’m afraid. I’d worry you were going to be invasive and overbearing. Move in day is stressful as dick without someone turning up and getting in the way. Maybe leave it a few days and it would be better received.
