Are you thinking of thanking someone, but it’s tough because you don’t know them very well? What if there’s an entire business or team you’d like to show your appreciation for? The following are great ways to express your gratitude in unsure situations.

 

Sing Praises on Social Media

There are many ways you can thank a someone or a business on social media. Tag a coworker on Facebook, or write a shining review for that new coffee shop in town. These are sure ways to make someone feel appreciated, especially if it’s liked or shared.

 

Give a Gift Card

Gift cards are ideal for people you don’t know very well. Some investigating may be required. Do they seem to like movies? Are they constantly reading? By making some observations or speaking to friends, you can find a great gift that matches their interests.

 

Write a Note

A heartfelt, handwritten card is still something many people love to receive. You can write from the heart to say why you’re thankful, or find a great store-bought card that expresses it for you. Many food and beverage gift boxes also come with complementary cards so you can personalize your expression of thanks.
