8 Wonderful Gifts That Don’t Cost A Cent

THE GIFT OF AFFECTION
Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, and pats on the back.
Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have
for your family and dose friends.

THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER
Clip and share cartoons and funny stories. Your gift will say,
“I love to laugh with you.”

THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE
It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or
a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered
for a lifetime, and may even change a life.

THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT
A simple and sincere, “You look great in red,” “You did a super job,”
or “That was wonderful,” can make someone’s day.

THE GIFT OF A FAVOR
Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.

THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE
There are times when you want nothing more than to be left alone.
Be sensitive to that same need in others and give the gift of
solitude when it seems needed.

THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION
The easiest way to feel good is to offer a kind word to someone.
Really, just a cheery “Hello,” or “How are you?”
can go a long way.
