How I Thank You, Let Me Count the Ways

There isn’t a day in anyone’s life where we could function without the help, generosity, love or care of someone else.  We often get caught up in our day to day lives that we forget to show those people how much they mean to us.  Saying Thank You is great, but how about showing your appreciation with a lovely Thank You gift?  Here are some wonderful gift ideas that say thank you in a big way.

Send a Thank You Card.  Unexpectedly received a card from someone dear to you can have such an impact on someone.  Knowing that someone took the time to find the perfect card is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.  Cards are inexpensive and make a statement.  You can add pictures or gift cards inside of them if desired.

Floral or balloon arrangements are very common for special occasions like birthdays, but work just as well for saying Thank You.  Flowers are the most common delivered gift and for a good reason.  They are a simple beauty that says so much.  You can even find the meaning of flowers and choose what you deem appropriate.  Balloons work just as well.  You can find balloons that say anything on them.  Flower bouquets range in price and can be very inexpensive or costly depending on the arrangement size.

If spending time with this person makes you both happy, why not make it special for them?  For example make a special lunch or dinner date to show your gratitude.  It can be as simple as lunch once a week in a local cafeteria or as lavish as a grand dinner is a great restaurant with proper attire.  Whether you do it only once or make a tradition, it certainly says you are grateful.  The cost of this Thank You depends on where you go to eat.  Diners and cafeterias are more pocket-friendly whereas fancy restaurants will cost a pretty penny.

For those who want to say thank you, but aren’t close enough for those private lunches and dinners, try giving a restaurant gift certificate.  Most popular restaurants offer gift certificates for purchase.  If you are unsure of which restaurant, try getting a gift certificate from a place that offers a wide variety of food choices as opposed to a specific food choice.  You wouldn’t want your gift to go to waste because that someone doesn’t enjoy a certain food type.  Most of the casual dining places are in the same price range. 

Besides flowers, gift baskets seem to be the common Thank You gift.  Gift Baskets offer a wide range of thank you gifts.  Thank You themed gift baskets say exactly what you want them to, but aren’t the only option.  Other popular gift basket choices that say thank you are spa baskets, cookie bouquets, gourmet gifts and wine baskets. Like flowers they also range in price from very inexpensive to very lavish and costly.  They can suit anyone’s needs.

Ways to say Thank You are endless and really depend on what you are comfortable with.  Just remember, the most important thing is to in fact say, Thank You.
