I am always on the lookout for Classy Neighbor Christmas Gifts for Under $2.00 each.

If you are like me, you don’t have hundreds of extra dollars in your Christmas budget for neighbor and friend gifts.

We are in this position about every year as we have four children and large families on both sides.

I have a lot of wonderful neighbors and friends. The number of people/families to gift something to is usually around 65 each Christmas.

I budget about $150-$200 each year for neighbor gifts so I’m constantly looking for nice, classy, useful, or delicious neighbor gifts for under $2.00 each.

Here are some of my favorites. I’ve gifted, received, or plan to gift in the coming years…

Cookies

I have a few amazing cookie recipes. This one is my all-time favorite cookie recipe: Heath cookie recipe. I also have a Toblerone cookie recipe that is amazing as well. Remember not to overbake these cookies.

If you want to go traditional Christmas, try these chewy cookie-cutter sugar cookies that are delicious and super soft.

I find that homemade cookies can be one of the most delicious gifts BUT putting them on a weak paper plate with seran wrap fails a bit in presentation if you are going for classy. If you don’t want ‘classy’, no judgment here, it is the thought that counts.

However, if the presentation is something that matters to you, try using cellophane, a nice shiny ribbon or combination of ribbons, and a strong plastic plate.

Alternatively, you can stack them and roll them in cellophane, place them in a Dollar Tree tin or basket, or stack them in a jar. You can even put them in a cellophane bag.

Just remember that the ingredients also cost money so don’t spend so much on the presentation that it surpasses your budget.
