Neighbor Gifts

This year, our ward (our church congregation) decided to forgo neighbor gifts and have everyone donate the money that we would normally spend on them to the church and then the bishop would use that money to help needy families. Made my life much easier!! However, I made these little gifts for our friends that either aren't members of our church or wouldn't be in our ward.
I did 2 different gifts this year. One was a simple roll of wrapping paper with a little ribbon and a gift tag.
The gift tag for the wrapping paper says: WRAP yourself in the season. Merry Christmas, The Haycock Family
The other was a simple brownie mix. The gift tag on this one says: Christmas is jolly, Christmas is sweet. I'm stressed out, so make your own dang treat! Merry Christmas, The Haycock Family
The kids HAD A BALL helping me put these together and then delivering them!!! Simple, cheap and fun little family activity. Love It!
