In case you haven’t noticed, as a luxury personal and corporate gift box company, we talk about gifts…like…a lot. But gifts aren’t the only way you can show someone you care. In fact, sometimes some of the best gifts are things that aren’t physical at all.
So, today we are sharing 50 free ways to show your friends, family, or co-workers you care!
For your spouse:
1. Leave a thoughtful note in a place they’re sure to see it – the fridge, their steering wheel, their bathroom mirror, etc.
2. Watch a show you’d never watch, but you know your spouse enjoys (chick flicks aren’t that bad!).
3. Wash your spouse’s car…bonus points if you also vacuum the inside!
4. Do the dishes when it’s not your turn.
5. Send them a poem or scripture that makes you think of them.
6. Organize an area they spend time in.
7. Help with a work project.
8. Give them a kiss.
9. Take out the trash.
10. Hold their hand.

12. Make them a healthy lunch for work.
13. Put a framed photo where they will see it and tell them why the memory captured is so special.
14. Take them on a date – sometimes the best ones are free (picnics, scenic hikes, etc.).
