11 Homemade, Frugal, Non-Sugary, Neighbor Gift Ideas

I am busy, busy, busy working with vendors and preparedness companies to find you the best Black Friday deals I can (You should be VERY excited! But…..that means I’ve had less time to write posts for you.

However, because you are wonderful and support me so well, I still want to provide some valuable information for you before I inundate you with sales and deals!

Luckily I have a great network of online friends who have come to my rescue and I have a great list for you today!

 

11 gifts

 

I love the idea of gift giving.  I love giving thoughtful things to those I care about.  I like gifts that are meaningful, inexpensive and easy to make or put together.  But somehow around Christmas time, all the neighbor gifts I get (and usually give) seem to be full of SUGAR around Christmas time.  So today I have a list of homemade, NON-SUGAR, simple and thoughtful gifts that you can give to your neighbors!
