I've seen the idea on Pinterest for a Christmas gift for neighbors or hostesses of paper plates, napkins and cups all stacked together and wrapped in clear cellophane and tied with a ribbon at the top. There is a poem to go with the gift attached to the ribbon.

I thought this would also be a neat idea for a housewarming gift, but I decided to write a new poem to go along with it:

To celebrate your new home
We want to lighten the load
Of unpacking and cleaning
With a poem and this greeting:
 
Fewer dishes to locate 
From in boxes and crates,
Fewer dishes to do --
Are our "Best Wishes" to you.
 
(Poem written by Ann M. McClenathan)
