When thanks aren’t enough: show your appreciation

“Thank you,” we all say, when someone does something nice for us. But are we serious? Sometimes we recite it in a hasty manner, which communicates anything but what we really want to convey. And normally, we wait until November to really show our appreciation.

But this year, why not include it in your business model to show your appreciation now? Employees are likely to work harder when they know their work is getting 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 thing can happen.

Sometimes a simple thank you is not enough. When someone has really done their best for you or your business, you may need to reward them in a more conspicuous way. GiftBaskets.com has the solution. Whether you are sending a wish to get better or a congratulations on a wedding or promotion, you can personalize a basket with candy, flowers, champagne or fruit. Shipping is fast and everything can be done over the Internet without any problem.

If the person you owe a lot to can’t afford to go on vacation yet, but craves a little bit of that warm Hawaiian sun, why not get them a gift from Hilo Hattie? This bastion of Hawaiian commerce has been in business since 1963 and sells Hawaiian music, beachwear, Hawaiian food, tiki torches and cups, and other gifts. With discounted shipping available, you can send that friend who brings a favor a little piece of paradise wherever they are!

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

Everybody loves music, right? And the person you want to show appreciation to is no different. Sony Music Store has a wide range of gifts for that person with a musical inclination, in the form of CDs and DVDs. They have all genres, along with snares and soundtracks. They also have pirates and TV shows and documentaries. So there really is something for everyone in this great store.

Last but certainly not least, you can never go wrong with a little pampering. If you think someone in your life might need some appreciation, give Spa Finder a try. This service will locate the closest spa to your area. And with a minimum of point and click, you can send this thank-you-worthy person a gift certificate, redeemable at the spa, for muscle relaxation, facials, or a gift basket of personalized products. Oh, and Luxury Spa magazine isn’t a bad idea either. You know, if you like to feel good and all that.
