Neighbor gifts exist in a specific social frequency. Too personal and it's strange. Too nothing and you may as well have not bothered. The right gift for a neighbor says: I'm glad we're neighbors, I notice you're a person with a life, and here is something that acknowledges that without suggesting we should hang out more than we already do. Unless you should, in which case the gift can do a little more work. The best neighbor gifts are consumables — something that gets used and appreciated and doesn't create an obligation to display it — or something for the shared context you actually have: the block, the building, the season. These don't require you to know much. They just require slightly more thought than nothing.
