Moving to a new city can be undoubtedly stressful and expensive, especially depending on the distance. Many people might try to pair down or get rid of items they don’t need before a move, so be wary of giving them anything too large or difficult to deal with.
If your close friend is moving away, a sweet remembrance of your friendship, like a framed picture, matching jewelry, or another trinket, could be a thoughtful way to cement your bond. If you’re shopping for someone that airs on the side of minimalism, consider giving them a gift card to a restaurant in their new city, a bottle of their favorite liquor or beer to help take the edge off packing stress, or a local treat they might miss when they move away. If you have their new address, you could also order flowers, food, or even beer to be delivered to their new home after they arrive to make the transition easier!
