We got about 5 inches of snow in my area, Monday night to Tuesday.

Today, when I was shoveling, my neighbor came out and joined me for about 20 minutes to a half hour.

Should I get something for him in exchange for helping me?

A few years ago, he, along with another neighbor, helped me with his snow blower and I had two bottles of wine in the house and I brought it out and gave each one a bottle.

I know he and his wife drink so I could pick them up a bottle of something at the liquor store, but I don’t know if it’s necessary or called for.

We all make small talk when we see each other but we are not neighbors that spend time hanging out with each other or anything like that. That detail may or may not be relevant, I am just trying to give details to those who may be trying to figure out an answer.
