Eight Gifts That Don't Cost a Cent
The Gift of Listening
But you must REALLY listen. No interruption, no
day dreaming-
no planning your response. Just listening.
The Gift of Affection
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on
the back and handholds. Let these small actions
demonstrate the love you have for family and friends.
The Gift of Laughter
Clip cartoons. Share articles and funny stories.
Your gift will say, "I love to laugh
with you."
The Gift of a Written Note
It can be a simple "Thanks for the help"
note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note
may be remembered for a lifetime, and may even
change a life.
The gift of a Compliment
A simple and sincere, "You look great in
red," "You did a super job" or "
That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
The Gift of a Favor
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
The Gift of Solitude There are times when we
want nothing better than to be left alone.
Be sensitive to those times
and the gift of solitude to others.
The Gift of a Cheerful Disposition
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone
each day. Really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank you.
