Creative Thank-You Gift Ideas

• Answer:

  When someone grants you a kindness, it's courteous to show your appreciation. In some cases, you may want to do a little more than sending a thank-you note or giving her a thank-you phone call. Show your loved one or friend how grateful you are by using your creativity to make your thank-you gift truly stand out. Thank-You Cards Buy a pack of thank-you notes. Choose a set that comes in some pretty packaging and includes envelopes. Open the pack and write a personal note to your friend. Tuck the card back into the package and put the cards into a gift back with some tissue. Bunches of Appreciation Buy a bouquet of flowers for your friend. Tie a silk ribbon around the flowers and attach a note that says, "I appreciate you bunches" or "Thank you bunches." Herbal Tea Box In a pretty gift box, add a variety of herbal teas and a pretty tea cup. Write a personal message on a gift card such as "Have a cup of tea on me." Door Mat Give your loved one or friend a reversible door mat as a token of thanks. Choose a door mat that says "Welcome" on one side and "Thank You" on the other. This thoughtful gift is functional and creative. Smiley Faces Give your friend a smiley face mug. Fill it full of sweet candies or some trail mix. Smiley faces are a universal language everyone understands. Food Gift Cards Food gift cards are a nice way to say thanks for your thoughtfulness. Buy a gift card from your friend's favorite local restaurant. If you're not sure where that is, give a card from a local coffee shop. Photo Disc Give your friend a compact disc loaded with pictures of local landmarks. Take an afternoon to snap photos of the local area including scenes from local gardens, parks and beaches. Load them onto a photo disc and make a label for the disc. On the label, include a thank you message. Potpourri Fill some organza sachets with a pretty, scented potpourri. Tie a tag to each bag. On the tags, write "thank you" in different languages. Tell your friend to tuck the sachets into drawers and closets to keep her house smelling beautiful. Mini Chalkboard Give your friend a miniature chalkboard to hang in her kitchen. Include some chalk and an eraser with your gift. Write "Thank You" on the chalkboard and tuck it into a gift bag.
