Our old neighbors had lived in the house in front of us for over forty years! They were really great. When we first moved in they told us all about our house and who had owned it and which trees had been planted when. They are kind of like our neighborhood historians.
They decided to move to a condo in town, so I was waiting for their house to come up on Zillow. I have a weird fascination with real estate and assessment prices and how much people list their houses for. Well, disappointingly to me, but excitingly for them, the house never even listed! Someone approached them about it and they sold it, without ever putting a for sale sign in front! Crazy! I'm sure someday that will happen for our house... not. Did I mention that our neighbor's house is more than 3x what our's cost? Yep, we got the location!
I searched high and low for a new neighbor gift idea, but I couldn't find anything that wasn't Christmas-y or involving an expensive gift basket (read: I don't have that kind of money!). Or there were some cute ideas that involved cleaning supplies, but I kind of felt that it might be rude to be like, "Hey! We're your new neighbors, get to cleanin'!" Plus, they bought a really nice, not dirty house. I did find one thing that I considered that suggested baking bread, but I make weird bread (whole wheat + steel-cut oats) which I enjoy, but others probably don't. So, when in doubt, go with sugary treats.
I picked up some cute glass bottles and made some cookies. I thought I had a cute container for the cookies, but no, I didn't, so into the plastic baggie they went.
Oh, and attached this tag. I saw this saying on other sites, but they were Christmas themed, so I've made you one that you can either print-off and sign, or customize with your names at the bottom. If you want to customize it, you can just download the document above or make a Google Drive copy of it. Or, if you want to keep it simple, just download this image and print!
Enjoy your freebie and keep your neighbors on your good side. You never know when you might need to borrow a shovel or want them to please not call in a complaint if you haven't mowed your yard in a while...
