Reader Question: How to Break the Ice with your Neighbors


Sabine has a question, she recently had neighbors move in and noticed they're on a different schedule because she can't seem to find a time to introduce herself.   They appear to be a very nice young couple with a small child (around her son's age).  She would love to get to know them better and have the children play together in the future.

She'd like to know, is it a good idea to drop a gift basket at their door (aka Welcome basket including coffee, juice boxes and/or household items) with a note welcoming them?!?

How do you break the ice with your neighbors?  If you can help Sabine, leave a comment with your suggestion.  Thanks!

  1. I can't imagine that anybody would not appreciate that. Spring is supposed to be coming people will be out doing yardwork so the oppertunity people will be outside. I have a dog that I walk 3 times a day so during my walks would say hi when I saw people outside.

  2. A basket would be nice, with things that they would use. Coffee, juice boxes for the kids, etc. Or you could get a gift certificate for your favorite local restaurant. I'm sure they could you the break from moving in.
