Gift Basket
You can find a lot of these items at your local dollar store, Marshall's, TJMaxx, or HomeGoods for cheaper prices. You can also get different brands of the same item, whatever suits you and the person you're gifting this to!!
To start off, I used a basket similar to this one from Marshall's. I wanted something neutral so that it would match wherever she put it, and it was the perfect size for the items to follow!
Woven Paper Storage Bin
This was the first item I grabbed, except the pack I bought was a set of 2 if I remember correctly. I set this on the bottom of the basket for some cushion, and to give the other items a lift to the top of the basket.
Scott Paper Towels - 6 Triple Rolls
I figured even if she already has a couple sets, she can always swap them out, or use them as rags if need be!
Mingle & Co. 2-Pack Waffle Stripe Kitchen Towel Set
The grippy part was the selling point for me.
Cuisinart Mini Oven Mitt Set, 2-piece
In my humble opinion, Fabuloso is a must. This 56 fl oz bottle is only $5 at the time I'm posting this, but I bought a smaller bottle from the dollar store.
Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner & Floor Cleaner 2x Concentrated, Lavender - 56 fl oz 1 Pack
This particular scent smelled delicious in the store, and it's a great cheaper option if you're on a budget. You can find this one at the dollar store as well.

A pack of handy sponges is always a need. I also love that there are different colors - I enjoy a little variety. 🤷♀️
Scotch-Brite Multi-Purpose Sponges, Highly Absorbent, 6 Sponges
A set of scrub sponges! My friend loves to cook, so I figured this would definitely be helpful for her to clean those rougher stains.

One thing to know about me is that I don't play about my Adobo, okay? A necessity is what it is.
Goya Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, 16.5 oz
Fun shaped pasta in different colors! A type of pasta that she wouldn't normally buy, just for funsies.
Morelli Multicolor Papillons Pasta
Vodka sauce from a local market in my town. It is absolutely delicious and I thought my best friend would like it. This one from Walmart looks good too!!
Marketside Gluten-Free Vodka Sauce with No Artificial Ingredients, 16 oz
This was a total impulse buy. When I saw it, I thought it'd be the perfect final touch. Also, turtles are widely known as a symbol of good luck!

Lastly, a hand-written card congratulating her on her new home. I was very close to purchasing this one on Etsy bc the colors reminded me of her, but I happened to be at Walgreens at the right time to find one that was a little more personal to our f...
