Sharing is caring. Why thank you gifts make you happier.

Have you ever wondered about the purpose of giving gifts?

On a basic level, we give gifts because we’re supposed to. We give gifts on certain occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas. It’s often part of your tradition or culture. But what about other occasions, what about giving a gift just because or gifting to express appreciation? These are the most important gifts of all, because they are often unexpected.

Thank you gifts are an important part of maintaining relationships, both personal and professional.

Whoever said that money can’t buy happiness wasn’t spending their money in the right places. Gift givers love to spend their money on others, it brings them as much joy as the receiver. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that engaging in acts of generosity can actually make you feel happier. Think about it. Who hasn’t felt a touch of the warm fuzzies when seeing their gift recipients face light up? The world could do with a whole lot more of that right now. Gifts make us happy because they allow us to connect with one another.

So, what do you give as a token of your appreciation? Some flowers? A card? A gift voucher? Too boring.

With spring here, summer is just around the corner and that means the end of the year. Have you started thinking about who you need to thank? You want to say thank you with a gift that connects, something that is unique and memorable. You want a gift that receiving is an experience in itself, and one that keeps on giving.
