I’ve been thinking lately about gift giving and how it can be a way to show our people love. A friend recently gave me this:
The map, the verse, the heart behind it made me feel known and loved.
Something else? For the past several years, our small group has filled out sheets called, “Let Us Love You.” Basically, you fill in your favorites so if I’m ever at Sonic and heading your way, I know what to grab you. Or if I’m thinking of you, you’ve spelled out to me what $1, $3, or $5 gift would touch your heart.
I adore that I can pull these personalized lists up on my phone and bless someone easily. No wondering if it’s something they would like.*
Also? A sweet friend has been known to gift online printables. You can purchase a package of card stock and make sure you have enough ink and go to town. There are many that are available for free.
But it’s also fun to support online etsy businesses and designers on their blog.
How about you? Any tips for how to show love with gifts?
