When Thanks Just Doesn't Cut It: Showing Your Appreciation

 
Author: Alyson Mead

"Thanks, we all say, when someone does something nice for us. But do we mean it? Sometimes, we rattle it off in a rushed way, which communicates anything but what we really want to convey. And normally, we wait until November to truly show our thanks.

But this year, why not make it a part of your business model to show your appreciation now? Employees are likely to work harder when they know their work is being noticed. Business partners are more likely to feel connected to you and the shared goals of the company if you take time out of your schedule to acknowledge them. In your personal life, the same may be true.

Sometimes, just a simple thanks isnt enough. When someone has really gone out of their way for you, or your business, you may need to reward them in a splashier way. GiftBaskets.com has the solution. Whether youre sending a get well wish, or a congratulations on a wedding or promotion, they can customize a basket with sweet treats, flowers, champagne or fruit. Shipping is fast, and everything can be done over the Internet with no hassle at all.

If the person you owe big time cant afford to go on vacation yet, but craves some of that warm Hawaiian sun, why not get him or her a gift from Hilo Hattie? This bastion of Hawaiian commerce has been in business since 1963, and sells Hawaiian music, beach wear, Hawaiian foods, tiki torches and mugs, and other gifts. With discounted shipping available, you can send that favor-bearing friend a bit of paradise wherever they are!

Another gift most people love is a membership to Netflix. The company has over 55,000 titles to choose from, and videos are delivered right to your buddys front door. Membership is only $9.95 per month, so for about the price of a good bottle of champagne, you could show your appreciation for a whole year.

Everyone loves music, right? And the person you want to show appreciation to is no different. The Sony Music Store has a wide range of gifts for that musically inclined person, in the form of CDs and DVDs. Theyve got all genres, along with box sets and soundtracks. Theyve also got bootlegs and TV shows and documentaries. So there is truly something for everyone at this great store.

Last but certainly not least, you can never go wrong with a little pampering. If you feel that someone in your life could use some appreciation, try Spa Finder. This service will locate the spa closest to their area. And with a minimum of pointing and clicking, you can send this person deserving of your appreciation a gift certificate, redeemable at said spa, for muscle relaxation, facial treatments, or a gift basket of personalized products. Oh, and Luxury Spa magazine isnt a bad idea either. You know, if youre into feeling good and all.
