Another moving question - leaving a gift

My mom always left something for the people that bought the various houses we had lived in. She made sure it was spotless when we left and then we always made up a basket with packaged snacks, a bottle of sparkling cider, wine glasses and a candle with a note welcoming them to their new house and wishing them years of happiness.   We also set up the fireplace with kindling and wood ready for their first fire.  All they had to do was light it with one of the long matches from the box Mom left.  

I thought I would continue this tradition in Mom's memory.  Have you ever done anything for the people who bought your home, or conversely, have the people selling their home to you done something to make your moving in special in some way?

I am making them a card to welcome them to their new house and will include a short note telling them how happy we had been here for the past 44 years, wishing them the same happiness that we experienced. I had originally planned on making them a basket of my little scented fire starters since my family loved those things so much, but the movers packed the fat wood from the garage.   Plus, it is just too darned hot to think of starting a fire right now. I can always add a little basket of them to the package I will be shipping them with the remotes for the fans that the movers packed up.

I also have the original brochures from when the house was brand new 45 years ago. You know, the brochures that you pick up when you go through model homes?  It is interesting since it has the dimensions of all the rooms which might be helpful and the tract map shows what the original street names were supposed to be - Simon, Garfunkel, Emerson, and Palmer.  The street Emerson still remains, but the other streets were renamed with tree sounding names instead and the tract was renamed "Woodleaf" instead.  This tract was built in the later 70s, so the rock band names were fun.

I will also include any important information that they will need such as the receipt for the PEX plumbing installation since it has a lifetime warranty and anything else I think they will need when I unpack and can access my file on this house.  Things like the roof are still under warranty and they will need the paperwork and name of the company that installed it.  I will also include the cards of the contractors that I liked from the recent work done on the house (things that have a warranty)  They might need to contact them regarding something that was just done or since I know they are planning to redo the kitchen, they might be interested to have contact info.  

I also bought a bottle of the luxury vinyl floor cleaner that the floor installers had recommended and a microfiber mop setup to use with it. I don't know if they are familiar with how to clean this type of floor (I wasn't) so I thought I would buy them the components and leave a note telling them the floor installers recommended only using this and where they can buy it when the bottle I leave runs out. And I've learned a trick to get scuff marks off the floor. After all the people that attended the open house trampled through here, there were tons of scuff marks that wouldn't come up with the recommended cleaning. I tried soaking them with the spray cleaner for several minutes before using the microfiber mop, but they still didn't come off. I finally tried doing a light scrub with a net-covered sponge, using it like an eraser. That finally worked.  I bought a package of those for them too.

If you did anything for your buyers, or if your sellers did anything for you, can you post about it to give me some ideas?  I will be making up a generic food basket like Mom used to leave (think Hickory Farms type things and a nonalcoholic beverage) and will leave the floor products in the kitchen so they don't look like part of a welcome gift.
