I shared this simple neighbor gift a week ago at The CSI Project and thought I’d repost it here for those that missed it.
We always take a little homemade treat to our neighbors at Christmas time and I like something that’s cute but easy to throw together. This year I delivered cute containers filled with snack mix. The labels pull it all together.
You’ll need five ingredients for the mix: rice chex {if you’re cheap like I am, the store brand is great}, mini marshmallows, jumbo chocolate chips or chunks, mini oreos, and mint M&M’s.
Mix together 6 cups rice chex, 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows, 1 1/2 cups mini oreos, 1 cup jumbo chocolate chips, and 1 cup mint M&M’s. Doesn’t it look festive?
To package the mix, shop around for some cute containers. Target always has fun little seasonal tins and cans and I found these clear containers in the Dollar Spot this year.
You can make your own tags or print these ones {download here}.
Stick the labels to the side of the container, wrap in red and white twine, and there you go … a simple treat for the neighbors!
Do you take gifts to your neighbors?

Cute gift! We don’t give gifts to the neighbours. I love giving gifts but John, not so much! 🙂
So wonderful, Randi!!! We haven’t taken gifts to the neighbors in the past (only because things we’ve planned to do have been set on the back burner & then, eventually, forgotten about…bad, Maggie…bad, bad, bad Maggie)…but I think we are going to start…with this! I have some of those containers from Target, too!!! And I love that this is something the kids can do completely on their own…;)
Won’t you please, won’t you please, please won’t you be my neighbor?
So fun and cute!
So cute! Yes, I am always looking for cute and fun gifts to take to the neighbors. These are perfect and yummy! 😉
