The 8 picks
Real reasoning, real products, no slop.
What to skip for neighbors
Anything over $50. Reads as 'we are now in a thing.' Stay reasonable.
Personal items. Skincare, perfume. Wrong category.
Wine unless you've shared a bottle before.
Cash. Reads transactional.
How to actually pick
Match size to favor. Small (took a package once): Bonne Maman or Microplane, $15 to $20. Medium (watered plants for two weeks): succulents or candle, $25 to $35. Big (kept your spare key for a year): the snack box or two items together, $40 to $50.
Sign the card with one specific line. 'You took my Amazon packages all summer when the dog was loose at the back gate. Saved my deliveries five times.' That's it.
If you're stuck, use the Send with Magic gift finder. Three taps, three picks.
