California isn’t called “The Golden State” for no reason; with the discovery of Gold there sometime in the 1880s, its golden gate bridge, its coastal sunset that reflects like Gold, and its colors, you’ll understand why someone would want to move over there.
This state’s beaches from Santa Monica to Malibu, a state that houses some of the most famous cities in the US, Los Angeles, and San Fransico; simply put, California is a state where everyone who knows how to enjoy life or one seeking economic opportunity would want to go.
If you have someone dear to you who is moving over there, it is ideal that you get them something to remember. A good gift is often something with an actual use case; it could be something that would help make their voyage more bearable. You could also go for symbolic gifts that they’ll cherish and constantly remember you for.
Thoughtful Gifts for Someone Moving to California
1. Success and Inspiration Jar
At first glance, you might not get why this is an excellent gift for your dear one moving to California, but on second look, you start to realize that based on the story surrounding their movement, some constant word of encouragement would do.
Moving to an entirely new state isn’t an easy decision; it takes a truckload of planning, preparation, and guts, so this jar would be at your dear friend’s side to constantly motivate them and help them stay focused on their goal.
Available Here2. Personalized Necklace
As much as we’ll love those dear to our hearts to stay around us, some reasons and goals may need them to leave and move out; in such situations completely,
the best you can do is to show how much they mean to you, and one of the best ways of doing this is with something personal; this necklace fits that bill.
You get to customize this necklace with your state and the state your dear friend would be moving to remind them that no matter the distance, your bond is forever. These are some cool gifts for someone moving out of state.
Available Here3. California State-Shaped Cutting Board
Now, we have a gift related to The Golden State but simultaneously a practical gift. This bamboo cutting board would sure serve your receiver pretty well.
However, its use doesn’t stop there; it would come in handy as decoration; yes, this would be beautiful wherever your receiver decides to have it.
Also, this board has some famous locations in California; with your receiver constantly using it, they’ll have a mental picture of some places in California, and this knowledge could come in handy. See these Gifts for Someone Traveling to Italy.
Available Here4. Moving To California Notebook
Again, you know your receiver’s story; you can attest to how much of a big deal this is. Another fantastic gift for your receiver would be this notebook; its front page reminds them of this big step they have taken. Also, this notebook would become their #1 companion for taking notes, making grocery lists, to-do lists, and many other memos.
Available Here5. Sun Screens
All around the year, California has pretty good weather; now, “good weather” in this context sometimes means the sun in “The Golden State” is pretty aggressive.
One of the best things you can get someone moving to California would be a pack of sunscreens or similar items.
Available Here6. Sun Shade Canopy
The sun is one excellent companion, but a companion people don’t want to have around all the time.
With this sun shade, your dear receiver can enjoy the calm environment the sun offers while also being protected from the adverse effect the scourging sun could bring.
This sunshade would sit pretty on their patio, giving them room for a luxurious feeling. I also have some other gifts for patio lovers here.
Available Here7. Polarized Sunglasses
Another gift to help your receiver deal with California’s scouring sun would be these polarized glasses. They’ll receive three packs, and each glass has its unique design, so your receiver would have options to pick from, allowing them to style their outfit with class.
Available Here8. Brim Sun Hat
A good sun hat is another gift that fits the portfolio of someone moving to California. This bucket hat would make their stay in California more interesting; it would come in handy when they visit beaches or take long walks in the parks and streets.
Available Here9. Garden Starter Kit
You can help your receiver seize the opportunity before their hands by introducing them to excellent gardening tools.
With this starter kit, they can have their small garden indoors or on their patio. This secretive act would put a smile on their faces moving forward.
Available Here10. Mountain Bike
California hosts an event, The Amgen Tour of California. It is a competition for bikers. While I’m not suggesting your receiver would want to partake in it, the Golden State is one excellent state for cyclers.
There is enough safety for bike riders, the state has excellent weather and suitable terrain, and California is every American biker’s dream.
Available Here11. Fitness Tracker
You know your receiver. You can tell if they’ll need this or not. I suggest they get this because keeping fit is one awesome thing many people love doing.
You sometimes don’t realize you are keeping fit when you start taking long walks and jogging or cycling.
Available Here12. California Travel Guide
One very thoughtful and practical gift you could get someone moving anywhere is a book that points out all they’ll need to know about that place they are moving to.
This travel guide would be the perfect companion for your receiver; it would introduce them to almost everything a traveler needs to know about California.
Available Here13. Photo Album
For someone moving to California, it is difficult to resist the zeal to take pictures, and picture-taking begets the need to have an album; yes, that is where this comes in.
With this photo album, your receiver can store those fantastic memories and know when they visit you back in your state, they’ll have a truckload of things to share with you.
Available Here14. Self-Defense Keychain
While nobody wishes anyone terrible, sometimes there’s the need to stay protected. They are moving to an entirely new place, street, area, etc., so they should have some form of protection. This keychain is loud; it’ll let out a high SOS sound. You just might be saving their lives with this.
Available Here15. Vintage San Diego Wall Art
Quality art such as this is another excellent gift for someone moving to California. This art would add more beauty to their new home; if they are familiar with any California movie or play set, they may have that nostalgic feeling just from looking at it.
