3 Sweet Ways to Show Your Appreciation

There is the team member who stepped up to run an important meeting when your son got hurt in football practice. Your next-door neighbor mowed your lawn when you were down for a week with the flu. The best friend who brought you lunch when you were working eighteen-hour days trying to meet a deadline at work. They deserve to know how much those considerate acts meant to you. Read on for some ways to make them know that they are appreciated.

Sweet Indulgences 

It doesn't matter if they are fresh from your kitchen or if you enlist help from cookie delivery atlanta, nobody can resist a hot, fresh cookie. If you are thanking someone interested in eating well, consider sending them a fruit bouquet. Want to make that movie buff feel special? Get a bucket of microwave popcorn and put several theater-sized candy bars inside. Make your thank-you note look like a movie ticket.

Sweet Relief

For those who have gone above and beyond, like that bestie that never lets you down, why not give them a gift certificate for a spa treatment? A relaxing massage, facial or a mani-pedi would make anyone feel pampered and appreciated. However, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to show you care. For a personalized touch, make a spa basket with aromatherapy oils for the bath, some candles and chamomile tea or a bottle of wine. 

Sweet Pictures

A gesture of appreciation will not be measured by how much money is spent, but by the thought and effort. Do you have a picture of your neighbor's kids with yours making mud pies? Or one where they brought you flowers that they picked themselves? Buy an inexpensive frame, decorate it with paint pens, seashells or dried flowers and insert the picture of a sweet and considerate thank you gift.
