A thank-you gift can be a way to say a lot without any words. Gratitude can come in many forms, and sometimes words alone can’t say “thank you” in quite the way we want them to. But it’s not about slick presentation or a sizable price tag: It’s about finding a little something that can make your special person’s day just a little brighter. And every time they use it, they’ll remember that time that they were there for you, and how much that act of kindness meant to you.
Whether it's someone who helped you out of a really bad jam, a friend who really went the extra mile, or a teacher, doctor, or boss who you want to shower with some extra love, there's a gift out there can send that message just as well as (or we'd argue, much better than) words.
The gift of relaxation is always a good idea. Let adorable Thank You Spa Box includes rose and pink clay bath salts, a lavender soy candle with rosebuds, organic beeswax coconut vanilla lip balm, and your choice of handmade dark chocolate or organic chamomile tea.
Sure, they may complain the whole way through, but they do it with love — and they've always got your back. A true friend can be both salty and sweet, so why not return the favor with flavor by getting them a set of chocolate covered pretzels? This set from Hazel & Creme offers a crunchy confectionary that's also kosher. No complaints here!
