Mega discussion in the office – can you go to the neighbour’s festive gathering without a bottle of alcoholic beverage and an offering of food?

Well it probably depends on whether you intend to drink or not, who the neighbours are and expectations. Driving (especially for rural dwellers) might also come into the decision. Either way great alternative gift ideas for those neighbours…

  1. Tokens for cinema outings (life exists after Christmas).
  2. Plants, bulbs, poinsettia, flowers (with a vase).
  3. Picture frames (with local photos).
  4. Scented candle.
  5. Snow shovel!
  6. New mugs for a New Year.
  7. Family board games, puzzles.
  8. Photo booth/selfie accessories.
  9. Book possibilities- cooks book (happy soups!), children’s books, local walks, colouring books.
  10. Small tray with delicious fruits (e.g. oranges, tangerines, kumquats) and nuts.
  11. Flavoured water selection.
  12. Luxury coffee.
  13. Tea bag tasters (both traditional black teas and fruity/spicy teas).
  14. Ladybird book ‘The People Next Door’.
