Gift giving is an art.
So, how to practice this art sans holidays and without spending all of your money?
Part of the answer is to think smaller. Random acts of kindness. You’ve heard about it and, if you are a giver, it is probably something you often do without realizing it.
But, what if we were less random and more purposeful in gifting to the people in our lives? It is summertime, people’s budgets are tight, there are fewer holidays to celebrate…but despite all of this, you can practice giving personalized gifts by reading this blog and perhaps practicing some purposeful acts of kindness with a little help from this set of nifty cards…
Inspiring Quotation Cards – only $10
Give often. Give to many. Keep these in your purse or wallet and give one to your taxi driver, your hairstylist with your tip, the harried cashier at the store – be sincere, smile and give from your heart. This is a small gift with big intentions!
Arrive early one day and put one on everyone’s desk at work. Don’t say that it was you. In fact leave one at your own desk, go to grab some coffee or tea and come back when everyone else is arriving and act as surprised as everyone else.
Use these as place cards at your next get together. Choose a quote based on each guests personality and write “Dear [guest's name]” in bold letters and then a teeny-tiny note on it to make it more personal.
Put one under someone’s windshield wiper.
Send one to your mother.
Send one to your father.
Send one to your lover – if you are a woman, leave a lipstick print on it; guys – if you wear cologne, scent it with that…if not, you could send it with one flower petal and write a note on it that says “He loves you!”
Give these to anyone and everyone, any day and everday. Give it to whomever you like and however you like. Just practice gifting!
Oh, and even better, just by purchasing these cards you are already giving! Each box purchased will help fund health services for over four children. A gift that gives more.
Happy gifting, everyone!
