These thoughtful gift ideas show that you care and have taken the time to consider the recipient's interests and preferences, making them truly special and meaningful. Once I was a Nanny in a very affluent home (if you call owning your own plane affluent). For this family, it was very important, most important actually, for the kids to hand-make cards for special occasions. That fact has stuck with me and meant more to me as I run across some of the things my kids made, now 30 years later. They are so very precious.
Think about the things that are important to the person you are thinking about buying a gift for. How can it be more personal, more special to them? Maybe it is just giving them your time, or an experience (like a coffee together, uninterrupted). The point is to think about their language of love.
