Thanksgiving is the time when we start getting into the holiday spirit. We think about all the things we can give thanks for – that new job or promotion at work, speeding ticket we talked our way out of, our children’s accomplishments, or even how Aunt Rosie managed to not burn the turkey this year.
It’s a time when families gather around the table to enjoy a nice meal and each other’s company. For many, it’s part of the tradition to take turns sharing what each person is thankful for. However, let’s take Thanksgiving a step further this year and not only tell each other what we’re thankful for but show the people in our lives how much we appreciate them.
To get you started, we’ve put together a few ways you can show the important people in your life just how much you’re grateful to have them. And don’t forget to show yourself some appreciation, too! You work hard, and deserve your own recognition and show of thanks.
Write personalized hand-written notes
Even if you don’t consider yourself a good writer or your hand-writing is terrible, take a chance by expressing yourself in words. A personal note from the heart is priceless.
You don’t have to write a Shakespearean sonnet. Just be honest, and tell the person how much you truly appreciate them. A hand-written note is something they can read again and again, and cherish for years to come. If you won’t see all of your loved ones this winter, send a letter and brighten up their holidays.
Steal some quality one-on-one time
During the Thanksgiving holiday time, it can feel like getting on a roller coaster – you just hang on tight and go for the ride. To show your loved ones how much you really appreciate them, push a pause on the roller coaster, and find ways to get each person alone to spend some time with them.
Give them a call this Thanksgiving. Even if you only have a few minutes, show them that you’re only focused on them. The gesture will be memorable and have a lasting impact.
Do an act of service that is meaningful
You don’t have to make some grand gesture like painting someone’s house or washing their car, but for many people, acts of service are deeply meaningful. So keep your eyes peeled for little things you can do for others just to show that you care about them.
Does your significant other appreciate it when you cook with them when you normally don’t cook together? Does your best friend need help with something that you’re able to do without being asked? Look for even the smallest opportunities to help someone you love, and just do it because you can and because you care.
Buy or make a small gift that shows how much you care
We’re not talking about Christmas shopping or Black Friday here. This is a completely separate, small, very personal gift “just because” you want to show how much you appreciate someone in your life.
If you have a photo with you and the other person, put it in a nice frame, or if you have crafting skills, make a frame or small scrapbook. Does your father or mother love to drink tea? Buy them a box of their favorite tea. Find small things that show how well you know the people in your life and that you were thinking of them and wanted to show how much you love them.
And if you’re solo this Thanksgiving, this will give you a good excuse to get out and be social. There’s always someone happy to give and get a hug, especially during the holidays, so don’t be shy.
Make this Thanksgiving extra special. Take a few moments to really show the people you’re thankful for – yourself included – just how much you appreciate them.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Bellabeat! We appreciate you!

Yоu actually make it appear so easy together with your preѕentation however I
in finding tһis topic to bе really one thing which I believe I’d never understand.
It kind of feels t᧐o complex and extremely vast for mе.
I’m taking a look ahead to your subseԛuent put up, I will try to get the hold оf it!
I’m impresѕed, I have to admit. Rarely do I
come acrⲟss a blog that’ѕ bⲟth еducative and amuѕing, and let me tеll you, you have hit
the nail on the head. The problem iѕ something too few men and women are speaking intеlligently about.
I am very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something concerning this.
I pay a quick visit everyday a few blogs and sites to read content, however this weblog offers quaⅼity based posts.
It’s amaᴢing to visit this website and reading the views of all mates rеցarding thіs paragraph, while I am also zealous of getting know-how.
Үou could certainly seе your expertise within the article you write.
The sectoг hopes for more passionate writers such aѕ you
who are not afraid to menti᧐n how they believe.
At all times go after your һeart.
Ι know thіs web paցe offers quality dependent articⅼes or reviews and other datа, is
there any other web page which provides these kinds of data
in quаlity?
Wгite more, thatѕ all I have to ѕay. Lіterally,
it seems as though you relіed on the video to
make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, ᴡhy throw away your іntelligence on just posting videos to your bloɡ when you
could be giving us sometһing enlightening to read?
I қnow thіs if off topic bսt I’m looking into starting my оwn weblog and
was wondеring what all is needed to get setup?
I’m assuming having a blog like yοuгѕ would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any recommendations or advice would bе greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
I really like it whеn individuals get together and share thoᥙghts.

as I exρerienced to reload the ԝeb site lots of times previoսs
to I could ցet it to load properly. I had been wondering if your hosting is
OK? Nοt that I’m complaining, but sluggish
loading instances times will very frequently affect your placemеnt
in google and can damage your quality sϲore if ads
