Re: need ideas for a non-alcoholic housewarming gift!
what about personalized key chains and a welcome home door mat or wall plaque (for inside or outside)?

I always like getting really nice dish towels - Crate and Barrel are my favorite, followed by williams sonoma. I hate spending the money on them, but I really do like the expensive ones.

My friends gave us a bunch of board games - Scrabble, Life, Sorry, and a sexay one!
FTR - Catchphrase and Taboo are also awesome!
If there are kids involved - maybe a Chutes and Ladders as well?
No home should be without games...

Re: need ideas for a non-alcoholic housewarming gift!
I love the idea of something high end from Crate & Barrel or Williams Sonoma. I love both of those stores and I would love getting a gift from them.
Also, Pier One.
If you know their colors even better or maybe you know their taste whether it be modern or traditional.

One of my friends gave me picture frames for my new house.
Another gave me a lilac bush to be planted at our house.

They usually sell bamboo plants in Walbaums. Not sure if you want to come by me, but the grocery store up the block sells them in all different sizes too

Re: need ideas for a non-alcoholic housewarming gift!
You probably got something already, but my idea is a pretty windchime. I've bought a few and the homeowners seemed to love it.
