Inevitably in my Christmas plans there is a category labelled “And Everyone Else”. It includes gifts for co-workers, neighbours, acquaintances, teachers, babysitter, dog walker, maid and a bunch of other people we see on weekly basis for a variety of services. We try to make yummy treats for them but it seems that time always gets the best of us. While we are doing everything else ourselves, we sometimes forget to give the people in this category the thanks they deserve.
I’ve separated this category into neighbour gifts to buy (all under $25), 286 great yummy neighbour gifts and the best neighbour gift cards to give.
