So a friend of mine is having a housewarming party this weekend, and I generally don't like going to these sort of parties empty-handed but I'm having a issues trying to buy this guy a house-warming gift. He's a bit of a degenerate, so any of you guys got advice or ideas on what to get a banker for his house-warming, given that he won't be spending a whole lot of time at home?

Economics of Housewarming gifts (Originally Posted: 08/04/2012)
Housewarming gifts can be hard to choose. Having recently held one, I can assure you that the probability of you receiving a plant or alcohol is quite high. Now being the usual twenty something male who knows nothing about taking care of plants, I can assure you that I had no preference for any kind of plants or otherwise, but I appreciated the gesture and hope that it stays alive for at least a month. All I know as of now is that I have to Google - "how to take care of a plant" and eventually, "how to remind yourself to take care of your plants".
But regardless, let me stick my head out and say that you're better off bringing alcohol as it has a good shelf life, and worse case, if the person being presented alcohol as a gift doesn't drink it immediately, they'll drink it eventually, or pass it on to someone else as a gift.
Now comes the question of what kind of alcohol? Alcohol preferences can be tricky, so I definitely recommend picking beer / wine / whiskey according to your budget and better if you know the end consumers preferences.
Now if you are not being thrifty, should you buy a cheap or expensive wine becomes the next question? If you've read any relevant research on blind taste testing on wine, the odds are 50: 50; most consumers can separate cheap wine(
Great idea!
