What would be a good and inexpensive gift idea for my boss’s open house party?

in I wanna buy it or do it
My boss and his girlfriend are having an open house party. I want to get them a thoughtful but inexpensive gift and know nothing of their decor. Doubtful they need anything. I was thinking about nice wine or martini sets, but they have all that and more. Any ideas?

    Plant for the garden, like a rose bush, clematis or something. Or a potted up planter with summer bedding plants in.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I'd take flowers too M & S is always good quality. Lillies are safe, sunflowers would be fab at this time of year or roses of course. You could always take a vase too (something plain and stylish) if you want to spend more.

    Hey, wine or martini sets are very common gift. Get them some different gift like some household gift or photo frame or many others. I know a site called Whiteportthat offers an extensive range of home decor, gifts and accessories, themed around a stylish white palette. They choose white color because white products are simple, timeless and complement any color scheme.

    Hope it will help you.

    Good Luck !!!

    have seen some fancy glassware discounted at rosebys of all places, while getting some new bedding..

    or how about some of those solar powered garden lights?

    failing that, wine!
