Your gift does not have to be costly or elaborate, but it should be genuine and from the heart. It should signify "kindness and thanks" in appreciation for sharing a special time together or for a special gathering.
Technology occupies every aspect of our lives these days but instant gratification of cyber connection and interaction cannot be compared to in-person relationships. They take care and maintenance -- and being thankful is a huge part of why those person-to-person relationships work -- and last.
Thank you. These two words are so easy to say. They uplift the giver and the receiver's soul. Use them often.
A handwritten note accompanied with a keepsake gift such as a candle, flowers or a plant, handmade craft, or a delicate food treat are the perfect way to express thank you to a friend, family member or a colleague.
Give the gift of "thanks" to those who share a personal time and space for you for it is truly a gifted moment.
