Thoughtful Gifts to Show a Friend You’re Thinking of Them

How do you feel when you receive a gift just because? Maybe it’s a card with a heartfelt note in it. Maybe it’s a small gift that a friend or family member thought you should have. Either way, a just because kind of gift can be a great pick-me-up and shows that you are loved and cared about.

You can return this love and care to friends by giving thoughtful gifts that can be a source of comfort and happiness. Here are three great ways to show your friends that you’re thinking of them.

Help Them Clean Up Or Organize

It’s estimated that nearly 60% of women believe a closet that’s organized makes it much easier and quicker to find what you need. If you’re looking to show a friend, particularly a female friend, that you care, one way to do that is to help them clean.

When it comes to cleaning, the best thing you can do is be a quiet, helpful presence for them as they clean. If they’re cleaning something big like the closet, you can be there to offer help to help them organize everything without being pushy. Let them decide what to get rid of or keep and offer suggestions about how they might be able to organize clothes, shoes, and other items.

As they go through cleaning, make sure to offer encouragement and admire possessions if they show them to you. Sometimes in the cleaning process, friends want to share important memories with you and they might show you a favorite t-shirt or little trinket they have. By showing appreciation, this will help them feel more comfortable and also help keep them focused on the task at hand.

Send Them Flowers

Flowers are a fantastic gift, and are perfect for any lifestyle, whether someone frequently gets new flowers, or needs something that lasts a long time. Flowers are colorful, smell great, look great, and can invoke many emotions.

If you send your mother a bouquet of flowers for Mother’s Day, then you know you probably have friends of many lifestyles who enjoy getting flowers. In fact, almost two billion dollars are spent on flowers each Mother’s Day.

Perhaps the best thing about flowers is that they’re great for any occasion. You can send someone flowers for their birthday, you can send them as a show of sympathy. You can send them to apologize to a friend, or you can send them if you feel the need to pick-me-up.

Watch Their Kids So They Can Have A Night Off

If you’ve got a friend with children, especially small children, one of the best ways to show them you care is to watch their kids so they can have a night off.

It’s estimated that the average four-year-old asks more than 400 questions a day, so chances are good that your friend would welcome a chance to get out of the house and have a little bit of time to themselves. You can offer to babysit and send your friend out for a nice dinner or schedule a spa day for them. Or you can offer to take their toddler for the day and take them on an adventure while your friend gets some time alone at home. If you go that route, you can make it even better by bringing lunch or dinner, so they can have a home-cooked meal as part of their relaxation time.

No matter a friend’s lifestyle or schedule, there are many ways to show them that you’re thinking of them, and show that you care. Even little gestures can go a long way and it will mean the world to your friends because you took the time and effort to acknowledge them.
