    I'm starting early this year because every year end up behind come December.

    What do people get neighbours for Christmas? Always like to give a small token but tend to be unimaginative and end up with sweets and wine. Any other options our there?

    Booze, tins of biscuits, local fancy chocolate, candles. Novelty tea towels/aprons etc for one of them sometimes (big Mrs Brown fans in that house!). Homemade cranberry sauce/chutney/jam etc too.
    Basically, consumable stuff!

    Wine or a nice homemade hamper, Dee's suggestions are very good and if any of my neighbors can see this I would love some Homemade cranberry sauces, chutney or jams.

    Your choices sound great! Consumables would be my favourite to receive.
    Other than that... Advent calendars or a gingerbread house kit for the neighbour kids. For the adults: poinsettias, winter bulbs or seasonal flower arrangements, candles are always lovely, a beautiful ornament, a set of seasonal mugs or placemats with napkins, even new hotpads & kitchen towels seems thoughtful. This year I found lovely cards/stationary sets to give. Consumables given on festive seasonal dishes or lovely platters are a nice touch, something for them to enjoy over again.

    Don't get them ponsiettas if they have cats. They're poisonous to them.

    We got our neighbours one of these last year and they got us one the following year which had our dog on it too :) Might be too personal but just an idea :)
