Yes I would get a gift, even though they didn't buy the house they are still going to be living there and what about when someone moves into their first apartment...I would get a gift for them.
+Would you buy house warming presents for someone who didn't pay for their own house?
Housewarmings are for the people having a new place to live, be it a house, or a rented apartment. Yes, a gift is in order if you come to the party. No, you don't have to buy a $50 + gift !! Housewarmings are generally casual, and the gifts are very small, usually, not on the value you line of wedding gifts; a plant, a candle, small things for the kitchen, towels, etc.
I would not go to this affair. I think registering for a Housewarming is ridiculous and the price range of what they want is greedy and trashy. Who bought the house has nothing to do with anything.
I would because I wouldn't care who bought the house. It's still a new house for them, and they are entitled to a housewarming. Although, I've never heard of someone registering at stores for a housewarming; maybe it's a new trend. Don't buy a gift if you don't feel that you should, but if you do you don't have to buy from the registry.
Is this a friend or relative?
What difference does it make who paid for the house?
Generally a person buys a gift for someone because they want to, it sounds like you want an excuse not to.
If you don't want to purchase a gift, don't.
You don't need an excuse or any ones okay to make that decision.
I do think they should have made less expensive selections when registering. Not everyone can afford that price range.
It matters not who paid for it as it will be their home.
The point is to have family and friends over to ';warm'; the house. Their presence is enough because it is meant to be more social than anything else. The hosts provide some appetizers and wine or whatnot.
If a guest chooses to bring a bottle of wine, a plant or some sort of thing that is fine... but not required.
Registering for gifts is o uber tacky it is not even funny.
i think its incredibly rude to tell people that you have registered at a certain shop so people can only buy a gift from that shop or that a money amount is stipulated. People should be able to decide to buy a gift for how ever much they decide and from whatever shop they choose. However re gifting is definitely wrong.
I don't think it matters who owns the house. Even people who rent have house warmings when they first move in. However, buying a present for them should be a choice, not an obligation.
House warming gifts are considered irrespective of who paid for the house. It is a new place to live, period.
I have never heard of being registered for a house warming. That seems odd, or perhaps I just don't get out much.
these people registered for housewarming gifts?! that's one i've never heard...
even if they did pay for the house, i wouldn't buy them such an expensive gift. i would bring them a bottle of wine or a nice potted/hanging plant.
