Holiday Gift Guide for your Neighbors
Gift giving is a part of every culture. It can be found worldwide for various occasions. But come Christmas time, it’s inevitable. While many of us stress over getting the perfect gift, it should be understood that the manner of giving is worth far more than the gift itself.
It can be hard trying to do something “unique” and different” for our friends when year after year you do the same gift. Just like Northern Title has got your back with title examinations and insurances, we’ve also got your back when it comes to gift-giving.
We’ve compiled 13 different presents for the chefs, the more practical-minded, the surprise guests, and the craftaholics. So take a look and scroll through the ideas and draw inspiration. Don’t forget to click on the links to walk you step-by-step on how to create each one.
The Foodies:
Calling all the Paula Deans and Martha Stewarts! Break out the cookie sheets, beaters, and spices because it’s time to share your kitchen talents with your friends!
But seriously, if you love to bake, why not utilize that gift? Everyone appreciates a home-baked plate of goodies at Christmas time. It’s a classic for a reason. After all, you can’t experience Christmas without the timeless tastes of gingerbread, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, mint, fudge, and toffee. While you’re at it, you can make these adorable plate boxes to put your treats in.

With the hussle and bussle of the season, sometimes it’s easy to let the neighbors slip our minds. Or perhaps you have someone that shows up unexpectedly with a gift and you have nothing for her? In that case, a quick trip to the grocery store will get you a quick, inexpensive, yet thoughtful gift for your friends. Just print off the free printables and slap them on your gift, and you’re good to go.
