The Letter
I have an article on BustedHalo.com with 5 Perfect (no cost) Gifts, here are two of them...
1. The Letter Write a letter of
thanks or affirmation. Everyone from Great Grandmas to grade schoolers
likes to be told how much they’re appreciated. If your letter is for a
parent or grandparent name the reasons you are grateful to them and for
them. If it’s for a friend or sibling tell them the ways they have
helped and supported you and the gifts you see in them. To make your
letter longer share a favorite memory or anecdote that illustrates your
affirmations but don’t feel like you have to write a novel. Often a
single page or even just a few paragraphs can convey all that needs to
be said. Write a few drafts till you get down exactly what you want to
say. You may want to do your editing on the computer for efficiency and
then handwrite your final copy to make it personal.
it, something personal. A moment, a feeling, a connection you have with
another person, memorialized by an object. The best things in life are free…”
2. The Afternoon Give someone the gift of your time. Take a trip to the park together
or invite your special someone on your favorite walk. An afternoon just
hanging around – playing cards with your great aunt or taking your
little cousin for a drive – can make memories to last a lifetime. Check
the forecast and choose a beautiful day. Check your calendar and choose
a day without work pressing in on all sides. Talk about your hopes and
dreams, ask important questions or reminisce. You can give this gift in
the form of a card or coupon. If you’re crafty you could even create
your own gift card with this “special offer.”
