Saying thank you can be hard. Especially when someone has gone the extra mile to make you feel especially loved, noticed, and appreciated. Sometimes simply saying thank you just doesn’t feel like enough. We can say thank you with a card, or some flowers, or a balloon, but even that feels lackluster at times.
Whether you are saying thank you to your supportive best friend for showing up on a hard night, to your parents for their constant support, or to your partner for making you feel special, the list of thank yous that you’re giving out is endless. Maybe you just want to say thank you to someone for being in your life. Who knows?
But like I said, sometimes just saying thank you feels too puny and understated. Maybe you just want to go all out and make a grand gesture and have an urge to do something extra special.
That means that a personalized thank you gift is the way to go! We all know that getting a gift feels great, but giving one may feel even better and make that thank you so much more special.
Why a Gift?
When you go out of your way to be kind, you never really expect anything in return. But if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a thank you gift, you know the feeling of gratitude and appreciation that stems from it. Not to mention that giving someone a gift as a way of saying thank you just feels so good all on its own!
Gift-giving is proven to have significant benefits to an individual's mental and physical health. Studies suggest that gift-giving can have significant positive health impacts on individuals, especially those with chronic illnesses. Not to mention, studies suggest that people who were more giving and generous had a higher life expectancy than those who were not.
These health benefits can be closely linked to the stress-relieving properties of being generous and giving to others. Giving just makes us feel good, by releasing endorphins and relieves stress. The overall positive impact it has on a person's well-being is undeniable.
If you have ever heard of the five love languages, you may know that gift-giving is one of them. Many people give and receive love through gifts.
There are many reasons that individuals recognize gift-giving as their love language, but it can be primarily linked to the intentionality of selecting a special gift for someone. It can help promote and create a strong connection, even in non-romantic relationships.
A thank you gift doesn’t have to be an expensive diamond necklace, or a fancy pair of shoes, or even flowers. Sometimes a more personalized and thoughtful gift is the way to go!
