I give a welcome basket to each child that comes into my home. I have them prepared ahead of time and ready to be handed out within the first day. For teens the baskets usually entail necessities such as deoderant, feminine products, and shaving cream. But for younger kids- they also need a few necessities. And I like to let them know that in my house they will have their own things (that they don't need to share) just to give them a sense of self-worth. So for each child that comes into my home, they recieve a little basket with a few knick-knacks. I have different baskets for toddlers, girls, and boys.
