40 Going Away Gifts People Actually Want

by | Jun 22, 2022 | Features

It may seem hard to find a going-away gift for someone who is moving, but there are many good options. If the person is leaving loved ones behind, consider a dual-time watch set to both their old and new time zones. A meal delivery kit is useful to tide them over until they settle into their new kitchen. Another idea is to order fresh flowers to be delivered to their new home the day after they arrive. There are several good gift card ideas: Walmart, a hardware store, an airline, a gas station, or Uber. Also consider a gift for their pet, such as a toy to keep them busy during the journey. If the person is moving internationally, consider a universal adapter or portable battery pack. Spices from home are another option. Whatever you choose, personalization is a good addition, but avoid anything bulky.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s challenging to cook right after moving in to a new place, so a meal delivery kit service is a useful gift.
  • Consider ordering fresh flowers to be delivered at their new home the day after they arrive.
  • Gift cards from a hardware store, Walmart, Target, Uber or a gas station would be appreciated.

“If your friend or family member is leaving their loved ones behind and moving to a new time zone, they’ll love having a watch that shows both the current time at the new home and the time back where they came from.”
