Neighbor Gift Challenge
Most of you are a lot more organized than I am, right? I haven’t even started to think about my “neighbor” gifts this year, but I bet a lot of you have already got them made and maybe even distributed!
I’m sure you know what I mean by neighbor gifts—the smaller, more affordable gifts that we give to our neighbors, co-workers, and other people whom we want to thank during the holiday season.
Anyway, I could sure use some great ideas. Those of you who already know exactly what you’re creating for your neighbor gifts, please inspire me (and anyone else who is still looking) by sharing your ideas! And if you don’t know what you’re doing yet but get it figured out before the end of the month, it’s not too late. I want to see your ideas too!
And the neat thing about neighbor gifts is that we can use these ideas all year long for fun gift-giving. All it usually takes is changing out a color palette or switching an image or substituting accessories, and you can pretty much use an idea any time of the year.
So, while I know it’s a busy time of year, hopefully you’ll be able to share something you’ve already made (or need to make anyway). I can’t wait to see your ideas—and Merry Christmas!

Here is also the another variation of the project using a mason jar filled with chocolates.

I want to give a calendar to my accouting colleague who was nice enough to offer and help me with my taxes this Spring!

I made up a different version last year to give Panera gift cards to my son's teachers and bus drivers. I think I might do a little Starbucks gift card for the postman this year. Something to keep him toasty while he's delivering my Stampin' Success magazine!

The second is a cute tag holder with accompanying tags. You can include holiday tags as well as tags for year-round gift giving. You can view the tag holder here http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7YyTmXLbGBc/SxcleTQ-ejI/AAAAAAAAAo8/6H4rpqjUSMA/s1600-h/IMG_3413-WM.jpg.
Last, but not least, is a simple JOY banner using the Pennant die and some felt. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7YyTmXLbGBc/SwCcRySL49I/AAAAAAAAAn0/_5NQWXGq5uU/s1600-h/IMG_3350-WM.jpg.
Thanks again for the great challenge! Happy holidays to you and your family! :)

Here's a wine tag I made out of the Two tags die - super easy to dress up a bottle of wine to give to friends or the gracious hosts of the holiday parties this season :) Hope you like it!
