Although it’s important to tell the people that we care about how much they mean to us, doing a little something extra can make their day too. Whether you want to do something out of the ordinary for your mother, friend, or that special someone to make them feel important; these ideas are both easy and affordable!
1) Knapsack of Hope
This idea is perfect for when someone important to you is having a bad day. It can be easy to get discouraged especially towards the end of the semester with endless amounts of projects and finals. The Knapsack of Hope may be just enough to turn someone’s day around and you can make it with items that are already at your house.
2) Good Luck Smartie Pants
We’ve all seen a roommate or a friend stressing hard over a test. Every college student has to deal with stress every semester during testing, presentations, and all of the other deadlines that they must meet. This idea may give a friend the extra push that they need to get through it all. All you need is a few packs of smarties and either a printer or a Post-it and a pen to remind your friend how smart they are during their stressful times!
3) You’re Simply The Best
This idea can be used either to thank someone or just to simply remind them of how great they are. For all of the lemonade and orange juice lovers out there, this is the perfect way to remind them of how much they mean to you. Just grab a “simply” beverage and attach a little note that says “You’re Simply THE Best”!
4) Box of Sunshine
This idea can be used for many reasons and you can make it as elaborate or as simple as you want! You can use this idea to let someone know how much sunshine they put into your life or you can use this idea to cheer up a friend that seems to be down. The best part about the box of sunshine is that you can really put anything into it as long as it’s yellow.
5) You Deserve A Break
Even the workaholics out there need to be reminded to relax a little. If someone important to you has been working a little too much lately, remind them that they need to take a break… of that KitKat bar, literally. This idea is a great way of letting someone know that you realize how hard they’ve been working and they deserve some credit for it!
