STEP 1: Go to a store and find a card that relays your sentiment appropriately.
Emails and texts are nice, but they should not take the place of a thoughtful card and well-written note. People love to see your heartfelt words and thoughts and it will make them feel important.
STEP 2: Include a hand-written note with the card. Thank someone in your life for what they’ve done for you. Show appreciation, admiration, and respect. Tell them how you feel. Be as specific as possible and provide examples.
STEP 3: Give a card over dinner, mail it to an office, put it in a loved one’s briefcase/suitcase, or leave it on their car seat or pillow. You might consider flowers or their favorite snack to accompany the card.
STEP 4: Know that you just made their day. We all need words of affirmation sometimes and this is a great way to do it.
STEP 5: Consider putting a reminder on your calendar for when you’ll write the next one. These gestures are small and simple but can make a significant impact on your relationship.
