Here's an easy and useful housewarming gift to bring to any party: an upcycled cigar box filled with herbal tea bags. Simply visit a local cigar store and inquire if they have any wooden boxes they are tossing out or willing to sell (usually rather cheaply). Then fill the box with a variety of organic herbal tea bags, a bottle of organic honey and a whole lemon. Your hosts can then offer teas after dinner from your gift.
