Neighbor Christmas Gift: Pen and Notepad.
I love finding unique and useful gifts to give to neighbors at Christmas time.
Both my husband and I would appreciate a nice ballpoint pen and a Post-it notepad at anytime of the year… especially during Christmas.
Not only is this gift useful, it has a Christmas meaning.
Santa makes lists and checks them twice.
Santa notates those kids who are naughty and those who are nice.
In the popular song, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, it says, “He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, he’s gonna find out whose naught and nice, Santa Clause is coming to town”.
The free printable I made says, “He’s Making a List”.
And in the little graphic Santa is holding a list with Rudolph next to him.
These gifts are very simple to make and only take a minute or two to assemble.
They are also fairly inexpensive (see the cost breakdown below).
