How to say thank you
Do you have people in your life that are always there for you, no matter what? You can always count on them and they are simply irreplaceable. When you ask them how you can thank them, they’ll always say: ‘'No no, no thanks necessary, glad to help!’’ And they’re right; it isn’t necessary, but it can be nice to surprise them with an original, thoughtful gift to say thank you for all that they do for and mean to you.
Why giving gifts is fun
Research shows that people really enjoy giving gifts. It’s a way to show those around you that you love them or care about them. Giving gifts also strengthens the bond we have with others. Did you know that our brains actually respond when we give someone a gift? It activates the reward centres in your brain, which is why both receiving and giving gifts brings you joy.

How can you say thank you in an original way? You can gift them a generic gift, such as a box of chocolates or flowers from anywhere, or you could go for something a bit more personal, featuring a personal message or photo of the two of you, for example.
