Are you looking for a cheap gift to give a neighbor, a co-worker, a teacher, a babysitter or somebody in that realm…you don’t want to spend a ton but you want them to know you care? I’m going to give you a few ideas…

Give them stuff in a jar. Get a jar, get some cute fabric, and get some raffia to tie the fabric on with and shove one of these ideas in. You can either put the ingredients for a mix of some sort minus the wet ingredients or put something pre-made (ala nuts). Write or print out the recipe and attach it.
- Cowboy Cookies
- Nuts: Sweet (Cinnamon Almonds) or Spicy (Hot & Spicy Peanuts)
- Hot Cocoa Mix
- Spice Rub
- Bean Soup
- Dog Biscuit Mix
Thinking something a little more hardcore than nuts, cocoa mix and dog biscuits? How ’bout a round on you? So…this may not be the one to give a teacher or babysitter especially if they are caring for your children at the time…this might be more of a neighbor/co-worker thing.

Make a homemade mixer and pour it in a pretty bottle, then include whatever libation goes with it in mini bottle form, put them on a mini serving tray (or dessert plate) and tie it up with some cellophane. Write or print out the drink “recipe” and attach it.

Sooooo…you’re telling me that alcohol isn’t ALWAYS the perfect present. Hmmm…better rethink my son’s teacher present.
These are great ideas.
@Donna well technically I said you probably don’t want them ripping into it while they are taking care of your child at the same time
