Cheesy gift... or not?

I too would be wary of the paint at Wal-Mart. Personally, I think a new home owner could go right through $100 at Lowes, especially if there are a lot of walls to paint. Paint can be expensive.

I think I'd go with Lowes.

Are you kidding? $100 gift certificate for a home improvement store sounds like a fabulous gift to a homeowner! (I agree, better quality at Home Depot or Lowe's or whatever you have around) plus a drawing or project from you will be a treasured gift for their new home!

One time I got one of those form emails that people pass around and one of the questions was if you could have a gist card for $1000 from the store of your choice, which store would it be.. I said Home Depo. Days ;later I told Marie about it and made the comment "Just THINK what you could do with a $1000 gift card from Home depo!" I got a gfit card from there that Christmas... not for $1000 though, but I did get enough to get the cabinet for my fabric that I wanted.

Definately a great gift idea... and definately NOT Wal Mart. She'll be living at Home Depot or Lowes - trust me!

Sounds like both ideas are great .

Cheesy? I think it's an awesome idea!

The thing is, I know she shops at Wal-Mart a lot. Maybe i'll just get her a few different Gift Cards. There aren't many Lowes around this area (that I know of), however there is a Home Depot or two.

About helping her paint, I'm sure it'll happen wether or not I bring up the offer.

Great idea! When we first bought our house we went to Lowe's and Home Depot every weekend! We still go alot, there are always projects that we are working on. She's love it
