Appropriate Thank You Gift? - Phoenix,AZ

My husband happened to be out of town when a shipment of 7 pieces of furniture arrived at my house. It was all pieces that belonged to my dad, so lots of sentimental value- no way was I risking having it sit on pallets outside overnight! So my husband sent some texts to our neighbors and 2 lovely gentlemen helped me out immensely by unwrapping the 2 pallets and moving the pieces into my garage. It only took a few minutes, but it was just so very kind of them and really meant a lot given the background of the furniture. It was 3 heavy pieces that I could not lift myself, the rest were end tables and smaller pieces.
What would you suggest for thank you gifts? Neither drink, so six packs or wine are out. Flowers are my go-to, but that's not really a guy thing, or so I hear. Ideas? Thank you!!!!

What can I do next?

Find out what their favorite dessert is and bake it for them. Very kind to get them a gift! I would do the same.

A heartfelt thank you card along with...

home-baked goods -- warm cookies

offer to babysit if they have kids so they can take their wives out

the bbq idea seems really nice

gift cards to a popular burger joint (a nice one, not Burger King)

I do think inviting them over for a bbq, into your home/backyard to share food or least dessert and coffee one evening with their wives would be the nicest gesture.

A agree with those that suggested food. If you could get them a voucher for a free lunch at a sub shop, that would be appreciated I'm sure.

Guys love food!!

You could give them both a $10 gift card to a local eatery (even Cousins or another sub-type shop) along with a thank-you card.

What great neighbors you have! T.

Do you have a local place to get a gift card to pick up meat for the grill? Or a gift card to Menards or a similar place.

So nice of them. So nice of you to want to thank them.

How about bbq ribs delivered to their door.

You could even add mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, biscuits!
