I’ve been thinking more about what to get my friend as a housewarming gift. As I said in my last blog post, she just bought an apartment which is pretty much unheard of for people my age. She’s worked so hard to save up enough money and I am so proud of her for being able to do so. I couldn’t even imagine how hard it would be to get into the property market as a young woman and beat out all the other bidders. It’s a really hard thing to do and she did it! I am so impressed with her and proud of her.
I think I’ve changed my mind about getting her a TV wall mounting service, just because I don’t know if she’ll actually want her TV on the wall. Maybe she’ll want to buy a TV unit instead that matches her coffee table or something. So I think the safer option for a gift would be buying her a wifi extender booster so that she can access the internet from anywhere in her apartment. It would suck if the internet couldn’t reach her bedroom or living room or something like that. Especially because she’s going to be living alone. She needs to have the internet to keep her entertained and ensure she can contact people easily. Having a functional internet is an absolute necessity these days. A lot of people would even go so far as to say that having access to high-quality internet is a basic human right. I would agree with those people.
Or maybe I’ll pay for her to get a high quality residential CCTV installation. In the Melbourne CBD and surrounds it’s better to have CCTV cameras installed outside (and even inside) your home. I will feel safer knowing that she will be able to see any potential intruders when she’s safe at home. I would hate for her to open her door to a stranger.
