'Homemade' Christmas Fudge Neighbor Christmas Gift
This 'Homemade' Christmas Fudge poem along with a candy bar makes a perfect neighbor gift! Grab our free printable tag and give this fun neighbor Christmas gift a try!
*This printable was created from a poem written by Sherrie Coombs-Larsen. Thank you Sherrie for your creativity.
I am a gift giver. I love it, I love it, I love it. December slips away so quickly though, and it is easy to get overwhelmed/busy/distracted. Enter, my super easy neighbor gift idea. It's a poem about how I had intentions to make homemade fudge, but ended up too busy, so I bought something instead!
It's SO relatable.
Print this cute tag, and wrap up your favorite candy bar or tape it onto bag of truffles! I've done White Chocolate Covered Oreo cookies before too. This tag works for any treat you might want to give your neighbors as long as it isn't actually homemade. ;)

Easy Christmas Neighbor Gift
My mom actually used this idea for our neighbor Christmas gifts years ago when I was in middle school, and we had so much fun running them around to everyone on our street. I remember everyone laughing over the poem and how many comments we got on them!
It was a fun way to see our neighbors and spread a little Christmas cheer without slaving in the kitchen all day.
Thankfully, after all this time, my mom still had the poem. I made a few changes and whipped up some cute, printable gift tags to make this that much easier for you!
Homemade Christmas Fudge Poem
Dashing from the malls
With groceries yet to buy,
Work & kids & life,
It's all so crazy! Why?
Our cell phones ring again,
The machine will take the call,
We have no time for anything,
It drives us up the wall.
How are you?
How's your life?
We really want to know.
Christmas Day is almost here,
Maybe it will snow!
A day or two ago,
We thought we'd make a treat,
For all our special friends--
A Christmas gift to eat!
Intentions were top notch,
But schedules would not budge,
So, here's this year's edition of
our homemade
CHRISTMAS FUDGE!
Candy to Use for Neighbor Gifts

Trim them to size, and attach each tag to a candy bar or bag of chocolates with scotch tape.
If you want to, you can wrap the candy bar in card stock or wrapping paper. Add some baker's twine, maybe a bow, and voila!

These are fantastic! Thank you fir sharing.
You are so welcome! So glad you liked them!
Your add at the bottom of the page is obnoxious.
So fun! I am using this! You'd think a food blogger could whip out neighbor treats, but when you live in a tiny community, you have to give stuff to everyone. No time for that!
totally! it takes enough time just to deliver them! haha

I wrote this poem about the Christmas Fudge in 1987. It's to the tune of Jingle Bells. Nice to see that others are getting credit for my creativity.
Sherrie, I had no idea where the poem came from, but I definitely never claimed to have written it, only to have created the printable. I would love to link back to you if you have a website, and I will add your name to the article now.
You must have read my mind! I've been on the search for an easy neighbor gift that doesn't involve baking or candy-making (I'm not good at either of these things). This is great! I think my neighbors will get a kick out of this!
Yay!!! I am so so glad to hear it!! Thanks for commenting, made my day. Merry Christmas!
