Bread And Salt Traditional Housewarming Gift. Post by John Koski Thu Dec 18 2008 122 pm My mother has a wall hanging that my Grandmother had given her after traveling to Finland which includes a little bag of salt and round rye breads. Mary and George give bread salt and wine as representations of what they hope their friends experience in their new home and new life.
Want to learn a German saying. Olive Oil is a traditional gift for many different events in the Italian culture. Coin so you may have good fortune.
Considering these two food items are major staples in Italian cuisine its no surprise they would be considered an ideal house warming gift.
However in some places in Russia people still bring bread and salt into a new place of living as a wish of prosperity is still alive.
