Simple Neighbor Gifts (with sayings)

Here is a list of neighbor/friend gift ideas for Christmas. Some of these ideas I have used in the past, and some I have kept on file as gift ideas I have received from others. Some of these ideas are practical, but most just contain a fun saying with a simple gift. Hope it helps someone out!

We “WHISK” you a Merry “KISSmas”
and a Happy New Year!!
(Tie to wire whisk and bag of Hershey Kisses)

“TWIZZ” the Season!
(Tie to a bag of Twizzler candy)

“FLEECE” on earth and good will to all friends.
(Tie to a fleece blanket, scarf, etc.)

It has been a “JOY” to work with you/be your neighbor/have you as my teacher!
(Tie a scrubbing sponge to a bottle of joy dish soap/bag of almond joy candy bars.)
OR...along the same lines...
Wishing you “joy” beyond “measure” this holiday season!

Thank you for all of your
hard work and dedication!
It has really “mint” a lot to me.
Happy Holidays!

For our friends we love so dear,
We’re doing something different this year.
Sweets and treats are really great,
But this will help you watch your weight!!
So.. ..
Bake them and hash them,
Fry them or mash them.
For all you do,
These SPUDS are for you!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

The M & M Christmas Story
If you hold these candies in your hand
and turn them, you will see. . .
The M becomes a W & the E is then a 3.
They tell the Christmas story,
it’s one I’m sure you know.
It took place in a stable
a long, long, time ago.
The E is for the east,
where the star shone “O” so bright.
The M is for the manger
where baby Jesus slept that night.
The 3 is for the wise men
bearing gifts when they came.
W is for worship, Hallelujah
singing praises to his name.
So as you eat these candies
or share them with a friend,
remember the spirit of Christmas
and never let it end!!!

Do you have any fun ideas you would like to share? More ideas to come...
