Gestures That Show Someone You Care

Whether your friend is going through a difficult time or someone you know just lost a loved one, there are always reasons to show a loved one that you care about them. Sometimes the best ways to show somebody you’re thinking of them can be the most simple gesture. 

To give you some ideas on what to do when you want to share some kindness, here are 5 nice gestures that are sure to put a smile on someone’s face today:

1. Send a gift basket. 

A timeless gesture that is bound to make your loved one smile, you can be sure that most people will appreciate same day delivery gift baskets. It doesn’t matter if your friend or significant other is a man or woman, gift baskets are perfect for any holiday or special occasion. Make sure to include a kind note that will only add to their warm feelings from this thoughtful gesture. 

2. Use a hidden talent to make something special for them.

Are you a musician? Or, do you like to paint? Making a special painting just for them or recording a track dedicated to what they may be going through can go far in helping them feel loved and appreciated. The best gifts sometimes are the homemade ones, so consider putting that talent you have to use to show someone you love that you care about them. You could order art or get them a record but gifts from the heart are really sometimes the best, as they show you put in effort and time for them. Plus, it won’t break the bank!

3.Cook them a special meal. 

For someone who is often too busy to cook or the person who may be dealing with too much to think about cooking, a warm home-cooked meal can make a world of difference. Many people say that food is the way to their hearts and when times are rough, there is nothing like someone preparing your favorite dish. It will fill their belly and warm their soul; trust us. If you aren’t the best cook-and some of us really aren’t-than consider ordering their favorite takeout and hanging out with them while enjoying a fun flick. The good food and company is sure to do their heart glad. 

4.Take them out to do something special. 

Maybe your loved one just needs to get out of the house. If that’s the case, consider booking them a spa appointment or take them to their favorite restaurant. Whether they’re going through a time of grief or it’s their birthday, there is always a reason to cheer someone up by taking them to a favorite destination. Whether they love mountain biking or getting their hair done, take time to consider what they enjoy doing and make it happen. 

5. Send their favorite cup of Joe to their office. 

If your friend has to work on their birthday or they are injured and have to stay at home, everyone has a favorite snack or brew that they love. As a loved one, you probably know what that is. You’d be amazed at how a simple gesture like ordering them a coffee to be delivered to their job or sending over their favorite snacks to their house can cheer anyone up, no matter what.
