I love the donuts idea. But I loved getting a card with contact info and an intro saying feel free to text with any questions. </p> <p>I also feel like you could put the goodies on the front step, knock, and then step back 8 feet to say hello in person. Just don’t be close or in their face or stay too long. </p> <p>It’s amazing having neighbor friends with kids with similar ages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916816 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 15:48:15 +0000 HappyBaker 2916816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, great ideas all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916815 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 15:36:34 +0000 Chuckles 2916815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we moved in our neighbors brought us donuts from a great local bakery. We loved it and so we did something similar when we got new next-door neighbors a few years later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916812 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 13:26:19 +0000 catgirl 2916812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a gift card to a local place is always nice - a restaurant, ice cream place, corner store, or even a local bookstore. And I agree with giving your contact info, if you feel comfortable. </p> <p>I would normally say homemade food but I know many people who would feel weird about that right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916811 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 13:22:25 +0000 ilovepie 2916811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have loved a note with their names, a phone number (if you're comfortable... We've lived here 5 years and don't have any neighbors phone numbers which I would love for emergency...) And maybe a gift card to a local place? Something small even: pretzels, ice cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916810 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 13:17:08 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2916810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beware of takeout menus. We just moved, but only a few miles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916808 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:27:18 +0000 LakesideMama 2916808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We picked some flowers from our garden and put them in a mason jar. We put it on their front stoop and included a note with our contact info in case they had any questions about the community, schools, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916807 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:22:12 +0000 LemonJack 2916807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Starfish: I love that idea!!</p> <p>Also maybe something as simple as homemade cookies in a cute little box? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916806 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 12:17:21 +0000 HappyBaker 2916806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Starfish: thanks for sharing, takeout menus is a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916805 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 11:59:16 +0000 Mrs. Starfish 2916805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Timely, I just saw this on Cup of Jo today! <a href="https://cupofjo.com/2020/06/new-neighbor-gift/" rel="nofollow">https://cupofjo.com/2020/06/new-neighbor-gift/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-for-new-neighbors-1#post-2916803 Wed, 24 Jun 2020 10:47:17 +0000 HappyBaker 2916803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you ever received a gift or note from neighbors when moving in? A new family is moving in across the street and we don’t want to blow it as it looks like they have similarly aged kids to ours! Would love any ideas on what to give them if you have either given or received and loved something. </p> <p>I was thinking of just writing a note and sticking in their mailbox since we can’t knock on their door to chat right now with Covid, but would love to add something else to it too. </p>
