It does not, courtesy of this recent brain-freezee lol.

I think we’re just unintentionally smarter about how we consume things?

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’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:

1. Around the holidays when people send out holiday cards!
2. 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.
