Thank you gift for neighbor

We woke up this morning to a cleared driveway thanks to our neighbor who used his snow blower on it! Chat Icon Chat Icon Last storm we paid someone $70 to clear the driveway. What would be a nice thank you gift? (We don't really know them that well - usually just see them to chat when we are all out doing yard work. So, I don't know if they drink). Was thinking about a GC to the local pizza place (they have 2 teenage kids), but would like to see if anyone has a better idea.

TIA!

When our neighbors did our driveway we gave them a DD giftcard.

Re: Thank you gift for neighbor

I think a giftcard is a great idea.

My step father always does his neighbor's driveway and they usually bake him cookies/brownies and give him a bottle of wine.

How nice!!

Gift card sounds great - thats what I would do. Either for pizza, or Dunkin/ Starbucks.

Re: Thank you gift for neighbor

Our neighbor bought my husband a gas station gc. I thought that was a great idea because he could use it for the snow blower.

My neighbor did the walkway between our homes with his snowblower. I'm going to bake him a loaf of bread.

My husband does this for our neighbors every storm. They usually give a $25 Home Depot card. My ds doesn't drink coffee or liquor so he loves this!

I think the pizza place is the safest bet.

I would personally give a gift like a bottle, cookies, etc. Gc imo makes it too much like pmt. But obv most people on here disagree.

I like pizza the GC since you don't know them that well. I wouldn't bake something because you don't know if there are any allergies, or if they would be comfortable eating something made by someone they don't know well.

I like the home depot & gas cards too.

The only thank you I received form a neighbor was a plant-which was nice, but this isn't really the time of year for that.
