Sometimes, though, we want a physical item to hand someone to show that we appreciate what they do. Here are a few of my favorite gift ideas:
A book of affirmations
A coloring book to calm them down and cheer them up
A daily reminder of how awesome they are
A reminder to take 5 minutes for themselves A chance to deepen a relationship A reminder of how you feel about them A blanket to keep them cozy Flowers to brighten their day

Thanks for the reminder to be thankful is to be human
