welcome basket
New neighbor present
A welcome basket is a gift container—typically a basket but sometimes a box or bag—filled with useful or thoughtful items, given to someone arriving somewhere new.
Hotels leave them for guests, neighbors assemble them for new residents, companies prepare them for new employees.
The contents vary by context: The welcome basket had wine, cheese, and local chocolates.
Also called a welcome gift or welcome package.
