In today's world we are all going full speed - I often feel like the Eighty-Miles-Per-Hour-Mom! Sometimes this means we get so busy that we might forget to say or send a thank you for a favor or kindness we've received. (At least, I know I have overlooked this before!) As you know, though, A Gracious Plenty is all about recognizing the goodness and blessings that we've received, and giving graciously in return. So I wanted to share a few words today about thank you gifts.
There are many occasions for which a thank you gift is appropriate. Here are but a few examples: when someone has helped you by house or pet sitting; provided job recommendations or letters of reference; covered your work while you were away; provided great service consistently over time (perhaps a hair stylist, doorman, car repairperson, or caregiver); provided a voluntary day of labor for a big move or home repair... Generally, though, anytime you want to show your appreciation to someone, a thank you gift is in order.
Yes, it's true, a thank you can gift can be given to anyone who you feel deserves your appreciation! Of course, there are some considerations to keep in mind when deciding the size or cost of the thank you gift. If it was a small favor or kindness, then a small token of thanks will do, and is sure to be appreciated. If you are thanking another person for something significant, then you may want to make a grander gesture by giving a more meaningful gift, which may or may not equate a more expensive gift.
And that's where A Gracious Plenty can help! We have an entire collection of personalized thank you gifts, all low to moderately priced, but all with a personal touch that says 'I picked this just for YOU'! Stay tuned for my next post, where I'll feature a few of the great personalized thank you items we have to offer you!
