Cleaning accessories also make a great housewarming present – especially for someone with a pet or a kid! These handy presents include washcloths, buckets and towels. They’re a necessity in literally every house. So if you’re debating what present to bring, consider keeping things simple and giving them bath towels or kitchen towels.
