There are times in life when you need to give someone a gift to show you appreciate them and the Starbucks gift card just won't do.
Over at Zen Habits, Leo has made a list of 30 cheap but nice ways to say thank you to someone.
Here are a few:
Jams and jellies.What sort of gifts do you whip up for these occasions? We tend to make chocolate chip cookies. Let's fill the comments with ideas.
Good bread (home-made works great).
Books (my favorite).
A blank recipe book ... write some of your favorite recipes on the first few pages.
A keepsake DVD with a video of special moments, edited (and captioned) by you. A slideshow presentation with music burned on a DVD works too.
Create your own art (and put it on nice stationary or in a frame). By "art", I mean a sketch, painting, poem, short story, whatever.
Scented candles.
