Quick Christmas Gifts for Neighbors
I’ve rounded up 20 of my favorite neighbor gift ideas for you today. These are all quick and easy and inexpensive.
Best of all, I think almost anyone would love to receive these fun gifts!
Gifts for Neighbors: Food
Food is a great frugal gift idea for almost everyone on your list! Stick with store-bought, pre-packaged foods if you’re worried about food allergies, and include a personalized note or your family’s Christmas card.
1. Hot cocoa mix and peppermint sticks or marshmallows/sprinkles
2. A roll of store-bought cookie dough or homemade cookie dough (Here’s a fun gift tag you can use.)
3. Popcorn kernels & homemade seasoning
4. A bag of coffee beans or ground coffee
5. Dry soup mix in a quart jar
6. A pound of butter — reader Cheryl did this and included a gift tag that said: “Tis butter to give than to receive!”
Non-food Neighbor Christmas Gifts
If you aren’t as familiar with your neighbors, non-food gifts might be a safer route… yet still super fun and personal. Just the act of stopping by and wishing them a Merry Christmas will speak volumes!
Here are a few ideas to get you thinking…
8. Wrapping paper and tape.
9. A set of winter-themed paperware (plates, cups, napkins) — reader Debi does this and includes a note that says: “Sending you our warmest wishes for a holiday with fewer dishes!”
10. A Redbox movie code or Amazon gift card to download a movie. You could also include a pack of microwaveable popcorn (here’s a free printable gift tag if you want to use the popcorn.)
11. A donation to a charity in their name.
Homemade Holiday Neighbor Gifts

13. Homemade caramel corn
14. Homemade granola
15. A plate of Christmas cookies
