I love to give unique gifts that mean something to me like this “Gift of Clean Dishes” with, in my humble opinion, the best dishwasher detergent...Finish!
It’s that time of the year when college students move into their apartments and prepare to hit the heavy, expensive textbooks once more. It seems like just yesterday that I moved out of my parent’s house to attend a university. Time flies! I had three roommates whom I became really close to by the end of our time together.
But one thing that we struggled with early on was whose turn it was to do the dishes. You can imagine the sky-high, food-crusted pile in the sink, especially when all of us were rarely around conquer it due to our crazy work and school schedules. So we came up with a well-laid system early in the semester to keep our apartment clean, or as clean as possible for stressed-out college girls. We all had a day or two each week where we were in charge of “manning the dishwasher”. We stuck a genius little magnet sign on the dishwasher front that alerted us as to whether the dishes were clean or dirty.
I designed a similar tag to include in this perfect gift, along with other dish-doing necessities, for the new college student just leaving home or even the newlywed couple. Download and print your free dishwasher label HERE.
If I had a nickel for every time someone in my house asked, “Are the dishes in the dishwasher clean or dirty?”, I’d be rich! It’s not too difficult to turn a sign on the front of the dishwasher to eliminate confusion and question. I love it!
And you know what else I love is my trusty Finish dish detergent, which I’ve been faithfully using since I got my new dishwasher two years ago. Our old one gave out way before its time, and I know it was because I didn’t use a great detergent. It makes all the difference!
With Finish, I not only know our dishes will come out squeaky clean, but also that I’ll get to keep my nice dishwasher around for a long time! I have a great appreciation for it, especially since my husband and I were the dishwashers our first few years of marriage. What a wonderful invention!
Another wonderful invention are these Finish Quantum™ Power & Free™ capsules that do outstanding work cleaning and shining my dishes without requiring me to pre-rinse! Such a time saver!
Each colorful, three-chamber capsule includes powerful cleaning ingredients with Hydrogen Peroxide Action that attack stubborn food stains and leave a brilliant shine, all while using less harsh chemicals. Now that’s something my family and I can get behind! Just be sure to supervise children who may be handling the product.
I picked up a box of Finish tablets at Walmart, along with some Finish Rinse Agent, to include in the gift.
Walmart has a Rollback for Finish running now until October that can be paired with the clickable coupon below for awesome savings.
I also selected a cute hand towel, some fun polka dot mugs, and a pretty stone casserole dish from the “Home Goods” section.
I know it will make an excellent congratulatory gift for this cute couple who just got engaged over the weekend! I couldn’t help but give my brother and his new fiance a shout out. We are so excited for them!
Dishes practically do themselves nowadays, but not without the aid of great detergent!
Do you know someone who would appreciate “a gift of clean dishes”?
