That’s a good tip, thank you!
I love using Edible Arrangements. Yes, they’re a bit expensive, but I’ve used them for several special occasions throughout the past decade and at different locations throughout the US, and they’ve each shown up fresh, on time, at the right location, and beautifully done. Even small/cheaper arrangements look full of fruit and don’t look cheap.
Depending on the age of your neighbor’s children, Edible Arrangements also has a lot of fun shapes you can get the fruit in, so they’d enjoy looking at that.
Plus, it’s fresh fruit, so you don’t have to worry about it being halal. There is the option to get some of it covered in chocolate, so you’d have to explore halal for that, or just avoid the issue all together and get no chocolate. Or, have a couple pieces in chocolate and allow the family to make their own decision about eating it, because some chocolate is halal and some isn’t.
You can have Edible Arrangements delivered to your neighbors too, so you don’t have to pick it up yourself. Just make sure they’re home so it’s not waiting outside for them.
Overall, it’s a good one-time gift to really blow their pants off.
Great job thinking of thanking your neighbors in return and continuing to make your community a more welcoming place!
I am almost to the point where I don’t mind normal junk mail. That’s easy to quickly scan, identify as junk, and toss.
What really grinds my gears are when my companies contact me and write something like “Important” on it. This happened recently with my credit card company. I thought maybe I had gone overdue, or had overpaid and this was letting me know my bill the following month would be less (it has happened before).
No - it was letting me know I had good credit and could get a good % on a loan through them if I wanted. Now, that made me mad. Junk mail, from my very own credit card company. B.S.
I’m in the military lol. The government definitely knows I’m alive by 0600 sharp every morning.
I’m the same way with my mail.
I’m a millennial - I don’t check my mailbox for 6+ weeks at a time.
If I order something, then I know about it and expect it at my door (because it’s fedex, amazon, or ups).
Otherwise, it will have to wait until I happen to remember I have a mailbox.
For example, with bills - I expect you to have my email address and use it, because I supplied it whenever I established xyz account.
Exceptions:
- Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
- For a local property tax exemption, my county refuses to email it. Their requirement for receiving the exemption is that you live here locally, and part of their way for verifying that, is by sending the request form to your local physical address.
They have Avocado in refrigerated, individual cups now. (Not guacamole, avocado!)
It requires the slightest bit of effort because you have to open it (like a normal thin metal yogurt top) and throw it away afterwards (or stack it in a trash pile in a corner in your room…). You can lick it out with your tongue or scoop it with your finger if you want to avoid a spoon.
So there’s a semi-easy healthy option out there.
My favorite meal though, is sour cream scoop on a burrito. Very not healthy, but super easy.
