Do you give neighbor gifts?

[DisneyBeagle]

We recently moved to a new neighborhood and one of my coworkers was asking me what gifts I was buying for my neighbors. It hadn't even crossed my mind to give neighbors gifts

What types of gifts (if any) do you give your neighbors?

We gave neighbors we were friends with a giftbasket, but we considered them friends. We don't give all neighbors presents though.

My being a wonderful neighbor is gift enough.

We buy gifts for our neighbors children-3 kids (but we're also really good friends) we don't exchange between adults though.

I will be making up a cookie/fudge platter and give it to another one of our neighbors.

I would say that if you've become really friendly with one or two neighbors, a plate of cookies or something similar would be nice.

Our last neighbours we didn't because we didn't see them much. Our new neighbours we see more and do more things for oneanother. Our neighbours have got us a bottle of nice champagne in a cooler, we have got them a few bottles of good quality wine which I know they like.

I bake cookies and make up trays and give them to about 4 neighbors, they will give me cookies or candles or a gift for my DS

Well half of my neighbors are family, so yes, we give them gifts

We're pretty good friends with some of the neighbors who aren't family too. The adults in the families usually get a bottle of wine or something of that nature. Kids often get ornaments or a small toy. For quite awhile we had annual neighborhood Christmas parties too, but we're not this year.

The ones on the other sides of us and across we haven't even met. We know a couple around the corner, no gifts though.

We give the neighbors cards, and a gift to the daughter of one of our neightbors. That's it.

I make some of my neighbors homemade goodies.
And from one of our neighbors we get a poinsettia plant, and from the other neighbor, my kids get presents from them-they are also our family friend.

We give two of our neighbors who we are friends with gifts. One of them, a really sweet old couple who couldn't have kids of their own, really dote on DS and they always buy him really cool clothes for his birthday/Christmas. The lady (J) also makes this awesome rocky road fudge as well as cookies which she makes into gift baskets for us and her friends at work. I look forward to that basket every year.

For the ones that are right near me and we are real friendly with, I made them each a box of cookies and a little home made ornament

We usually make up packages of cookies for our neighbors. Some do the same for everyone else, some don't.

I usually make baked goods and make up pretty trays. I knew i wouldn;t have time this year, so we bought poinsetta plants and gave them out the first weekend of Dec, before we left for Disney.
