Ideas for a gift for my neighbor? [View all]

He plowed my driveway and I’m out of ideas. In the past I’ve taken over 2 lbs of shrimp, homemade cookies, alcohol (a couple times) and a gas gift card.

He won’t take money. In fact, I think the gas card embarrassed him. I was thinking he uses up gas to plow, so…

Any fresh ideas? I appreciate him doing my driveway, unasked, and like to take over a little something in thanks.
