Back when Martha was on T.V. (pre-jail sentence) I heard her talk about gift giving etiquette, she said "When going to a party where gifts are being exchanged, even if you can't afford gifts for the adults, children always need a small present." Now that I have children myself, I could agree more.
In our community neighbor gifts are a very popular way to show we care at Christmas. In our neighborhood I have lots of great friends that I love to leave a simple, delicious treat on their door step. Over the three years of living in our neighbor my list has gotten quite long!! Time and cost are always a contributing factor when deciding what to give your neighbors. My neighbor gift tradition has always been to make TOFFEE . I put the toffee in a cellophane bag and wrap it with a pretty bow. I always get lots of ooohs and ahhhs ~ they love it and now my neighbors anticipate receiving toffee from our family. What do you give out as neighbor gifts?
Where not done with gifts yet...Kitty has some great gifts ideas for your pets this Holiday, stop by and see what she has cooking in the Fahrenheit350 kitchen.
