Write a Note: A personal thank-you note is almost always a great way to show thanks Saying it through an email or an e-card is increasingly common and too easy because it takes little or sometimes no effort, at all. But the time it takes to make or buy a card, or even just write a little something on a lined piece of paper, shows that you really do care.
Giving Food: Savory or sweet, made from scratch or store-bought, food is always a good way to say thanks for all seasons. Whether you're making dinner or buying a dessert tray, find out what the person you're thanking likes and use that knowledge to show your gratitude. Beware of allergies though, while the gesture is still "sweet," it will be really uncomfortable if you made peanut butter cookies for someone who is allergic to peanuts.
Time: The gift of time has always been one of my top choices because its something that is given from the heart. No picking out the right size, no what flavor does she like and no wondering what everyone else will be doing. Just plain old time to give, by maybe helping out with some household chores or simply just listening to someone that needs to talk.
Say it in Person: Hearing someones voice can be very powerful, so please before you send that email/text or make that call, DONT! Showing that youre making an effort to thank them will mean more than a computer-generated message or a quick call or text. Most of all, this approach proves that you put in a lot of thought into wanting to show how thankful you are to them.
Donate to or for a Charity: In other words, not only do charities need your money offerings but they need your two hands for helping, as well. This is giving thanks in a global manner, because its not about where you are helping out or who, but the fact that you are doing it, is thanks enough.
