Eight Gifts that Do Not Cost a Cent

Now that Thanksgiving has came and went many of us are busy thinking about our Christmas list and have begun the sometimes stressful (for me ALWAYS stressful) task of finding the perfect gift. I came across this list of gifts and thought i would share it with you. Sometimes the "perfect gift" doesn't cost a thing!

 

EIGHT GIFTS THAT DO NOT COST A CENT

 

THE GIFT OF LISTENING...
But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.


THE GIFT OF AFFECTION...
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back and holds. 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 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, really it's not that hard to say, Hello or Thank You.
