{Don’t Forget} Christmas Gifts for Neighbors
It’s that time of year when gift-giving can cause the anxiety to creep up.
On one hand, it’s a perfect time of year to show a little extra kindness to those around you. On the other hand, it can feel like a lot of pressure to come up some cute but classy but cheap for multiple recipients like neighbors, mailmen, sanitation workers, coworkers…
It feels like lots of dollar signs, and all that does is drain the Christmas spirit.
It DOESN’T have to be that way. You can definitely come up with inexpensive gift ideas that are creative and classy!
These gifts are easy, quick, cheap, and sure winners – AND, they ALL come with free printable tags that are beautiful and often punny.

I’m not sure why I’ve never thought to gift homemade salsa before! We just got our floors refinished a couple months ago so my husband made me promise to keep the Christmas budget small this year. I was struggling on what to do for our neighbors, but now I know I can put my garden to good use! Merry Christmas!
