{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.
