Christmas gift ideas for neighbors
Giving gifts is one of my favorite Christmastime traditions, and I always like to include the neighbors. We have a tight-knit neighborhood where the kids all like to play together, and we have formed some great relationships with the parents.
Depending how close you are to the family, you might want to keep your gifts on the smaller side. You don’t want people to feel the need to reciprocate. If you have a neighbor who regularly lets out your dog or brings in your mail when you’re on vacation, you might want to do something a little bigger for them.
