Many of the gifts we bought the day after Christmas for even more savings.
Stuck on what to get your friends and/or neighbors? Here's a few ideas:
- "Here's to a REaDing Christmas!"-Give a Christmas book or bookmarks.
- "Hope your holidays are wrap up in love!"- Give a throw or roll of wrapping paper.
- "May your holidays sparkle!"-Give a box of tinsel.
- "May the light of Christmas shine on you!"-Give a box of lights.
- "We Whisk you a Merry Kissmas!"-Give a whisk with a bag of kisses
- "Our friends are our angels"-Give a tree topper angel or a small one for a nativity
- "Remember the Reason for the Season"-Give a baby Jesus or a nativity.
- "Merry Kissmas"-Give mistletoe.
- "A baby changes everything"-Give baby Jesus or something for a new baby.
- "Hope your holidays are hot"-Give homemade Salsa and chips

Cute ideas! I'm horrible about neighborhood gifts, and these are some great ones. I'm probably going to borrow one. :) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for these ideas. I stumbled on to your blog by a google search. This is great. I will use all of them!
This one needs advanced notice (a flyer) to your neighbors but the ideas would be great for next year: One family hosted a bonfire (or whatever your neighborhood code allows) with a singalong and hot chocolate. Each neighbor was supposed to donate the amount they would have spent on neighbors in a sealed envelope. The donations went to the local food pantry.
Shallee, you can borrow as many as you want, just like Caroline :)
Renae, the neighborhood across the street does a similar thing except they bring canned goods for the food bank. It takes a lot of pressure off families holiday finances.
One year at the after Christmas sales I got Christmas-y fleece blankets for $3.00. The next year I wrapped a note around them that said, "Fleece Navidad!" and gave them to neighbors. The only bad thing was I had to store bulky blankets for a year but everyone loved them. (Well, they seemed to anyway.) And this year I've already seen inexpensive blankets BEFORE Christmas. Lucky!
Thanks for your kind words about "Christmas Oranges" in another blog. That was very nice of you!
Happy week!
