Last year we gave our neighbors 89-cent box cutters as our Christmas gift… and they were a shockingly huge hit. 😂🎁

If you’re looking for easy, affordable, non-food neighbor gifts, this is your sign to keep it simple. These little box cutters ended up being one of the most-used gifts we’ve ever given (hello, Amazon packages!).

I rounded up tons of other non-food neighbor gift ideas you can put together in minutes — all budget-friendly, all practical, all crowd-pleasers.

I linked these box cutters and other really great non-food neighbor gifts below.

Also these dot art books have been the biggest hit

My girls spent hours doing them yesterday, including while I read aloud to them before bed last night

Well, this is your lucky day!

Stockings are the most fun part of Christmas morning - and I’ve rounded up the best stocking stuffers for men, approved by my husband!

This has been a bestseller from the $10 gift guide and I can see why!

These are like diamond art but so much easier - just tap the dot markers over each letter and watch your art appear.

Such a fun under $10 gift for teens, tweens, or anyone who needs a calming little break in their day.

This was an unexpected last-minute purchase for my husband for Christmas.
Would make a perfect gift for adults, tweens, and teens - they have been getting rave reviews!

I asked what the best things I’ve influenced you to try - and your answers did NOT disappoint!

So many repeat favorites (no surprise since I rave about them nonstop).

One of the most delightful parts of having older kids?

Sharing interests with them!

I LOVE that my big girls are as into Emma M. Lion as I am!

This sweatshirt was such a win - I’ve also linked everything else we got our 13 year old for her birthday!

For Ani’s 13th birthday we did a hot cocoa bar and snacks with Christmas coloring.
I bought a big stack of these Christmas coloring books and then everyone could take them home as a favor). After that, they’ll do the hot tub!
I also linked our favorite markers to use while coloring.

After discovering a tiny bag that fit my basic Kindle, I’ve been on the hunt all year for bags that fit the bigger Kindle Paperwhite!

My favorite kind of research!

This bag is a huge winner and I’ve found five other great options too!
