So, I wanted to share with you a list of some fun, cheap, and cute Christmas gift ideas for neighbors, hostesses, teachers, and friends. Consumable gifts are wonderful for this type of gift-giving. No clutter.1
And, with planning ahead, you can save money by watching for sales on the various items you and your family may choose to do together.
