Budget-Friendly Apartment House Warming Ideas

[beepampered]

A guest today wants to host a party the week college restarts. All of her friends will be living in an apartment for the first time. Of course, they are all broke so shes not sure if it would work. Anyone done an apartment house warming with much success? Thoughts? Thanks.

What if you did it a few weeks BEFORE school starts (or before they are moving in anyway) and invite parents? Or they can create wishlists at the show and then share them with their parents - maybe do a show to get them interested and thinking about products and then finish it up more like a catalog show, letting them take the catalogs & wishlists home to relatives and closing it in a week or two?

I was going to suggest the same thing and also do a search here on line I remember seeing a whole list of items that were great for dorms and starting out apartments. Like the Rice cooker, chopper, micro cooker, and of course the DCB. Also share some quick and easy inexpensive recipes so that way the parents might feel better buying some of these itmes knowing that the "KIDS" will know what to do and might actually cook someting thats easy!

soem i remember are:
apple wedger and bar board and an apple
microcooker & can opener can of soup
small microcooker ramen noodles
quickstir pitcher koolaid
twixits & chips
stone, pizza cutter, oven mitts & frozen pizza box
