Housewarming wishlist
Moving in means a long list of things you really need, from pans to curtains. Make one wishlist and share the link, and guests will not have to guess what to bring.
What should you give for a housewarming?
People usually go practical: dishes and cookware, towels and bedding, small appliances, plants, decor. Add the things you have not thought of yet but will need in the new place: a step ladder, organisers, a desk lamp. Needs are not obvious at the start, so it helps to keep adding to the list while you settle in.
What budget should a housewarming gift have?
A rough split looks like this. Small items up to 400 UAH: towels, candles, a potted plant. Mid-range items at 500-1500 UAH: a set of pans, a throw, a lamp. Big purchases from 2000 UAH, like a kettle or a vacuum cleaner, work well as a group gift. These are examples with no market statistics behind them, so set the sums for your own guests.
How do you stop guests from giving two toasters?
Share the wishlist link with the invitation or in the guest chat. A guest opens the list without an account and sees what is still free. To reserve an item they sign in without a password, with an email link or Google. A reserved item looks taken to everyone else, so there is no second toaster and no third set of towels.
How do you split the cost of an appliance for a new flat?
Add a big item to the list, say a multicooker or a robot vacuum, and say in the chat right away that it is a group gift. One guest reserves it as the organiser, collects money from whoever wants to join and buys it. The others see it is already in progress. Guests settle the amounts themselves. Bazha does not take payments.
Can you add things while you settle in?
Yes, you can keep adding while you unpack boxes. Noticed you are missing a hallway mirror or a clothes dryer? Add it by link. Guests who open the list later will see the new items, and the ones already reserved stay taken.
What should you leave off the list?
Anything you will not use. One kettle you need beats three decorative vases. If you honestly lack nothing, add a few small things under 300 UAH so guests have something to choose from.
A sample housewarming list
- A set of towels: 300-600 UAH
- A potted plant: 200-500 UAH
- A set of pans: 1000-2500 UAH
- A desk lamp: 500-1200 UAH
- A robot vacuum, as a group gift: from 6000 UAH
The amounts are rough guides and depend on the store and the model.
Where should you send the link?
The easiest place is the invitation, or a pinned message in the guest chat. If the guests do not know each other, the link saves them from coordinating directly: everyone simply sees what has been chosen.
