Here's 20 Ways to Show You're Thankful (not just on Thanksgiving)

Thanksgiving Day isn't the only day to show thanks to your loved ones! 💖

It doesn't even have to be loved ones/people you know for you to give thanks. It can be the person who helped pick up your groceries when you dropped them coming out of the store. Or the person delivering them when you order on Instacart! It can be the person who let you go 1st when in traffic, or even the person who didn't flip you off & honk their horn when you accidentally cut them off. (I bolded the ones below that would be nice/more appropriate for strangers)

Below are 20 ways on how you can show people your gratitude without breaking the bank. Most of these ideas are free!

1. Tell them you love them & are thankful they’re in your life

2. Write a letter/email/text

3. Buy them flowers

4. Send an edible arrangement

5. Set up a weekly date to FaceTime/video

6. Volunteer to be their accountability partner

7. Bring /order them soup when they’re sick

8. Send them a funny gif

9. Take them on a picnic

10. Give them a big hug

11. Surprise them with a random act of kindness

12. If they’re parents, offer to watch their kids

13. Be present when they speak to you

14. Smile and look them in the eyes

15. Write a recommendation for them on LinkedIn

16. Give them a compliment

17. When they’re venting to you, instead of giving advice, ask “how can I hold space for you”?

18. Celebrate them when they accomplish something

19. Host a gathering & invite them

20. Acknowledge them publicly
