Gifts That Don't Cost a Cent

~ THE GIFT OF LISTENING ~

You must truly listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listen.


~ THE GIFT OF AFFECTION ~

Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and handholds. 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 give 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. It's not hard to say, "Hello" or "Thank You," and you will make someone's day.
