“I believe that one of the best ways to give thanks to the people around you is to be there when they need you, and customized wish tickets are the best way to do that! Wish tickets work under a ‘one ticket, one wish’ policy. In order to do this right, you must first set your rules and limits and then you can give out as many tickets as you can to the people you’re thankful for. In return, these people can use them when necessary. And use it for favors such as watching over their pet or helping them do grocery shopping. Basically, it’s just a fun way of showing your commitment and thanks to the people you value.”

“A great gift idea is a Food Tour in a Box, which many of our partners have available.The boxes allow the recipient to experience a destination through its food, art, and unique items. Whether it’s tasting Alaska, or something sweet from California, or a sunny moment from Florida, there is an option for you.”
Grant Aldrich

“Flowers are an excellent way to say thank you, whether it’s for a promotion at work, a big gift, or to show someone you appreciate them. Some of the best thank you flowers include hydrangeas, roses, and orchids.
With winter in full-swing, slippers are another thoughtful thank you gift. There’s nothing better than waking up and throwing on a pair of warm slippers before you walk around the house. Your gift recipient will be delighted with a pair of warm, cozy slippers.
A desk organizer can also be a wonderful and unexpected thank you gift. Since everyone is continuing to work from home, accessories for the home office are practical and useful. Though you may not buy an ergonomic chair or new desk, a desktop organizer is still thoughtful.”

“The Gift Label is an Amsterdam based business that specializes in unique gifts. All their labels have positive and supportive quotes, such as ‘You Rock!’ or ‘You’re Awesome.’ Aside from their health-promoting products, I love that they are items you use in your daily life, such as handsoaps and body lotion. That way, anyone receiving your thank you gift will remember that special moment.”

“The fact that you use a serving tray daily doesn’t mean that it needs to look boring!I’m a fan of these Coastal and Lake Art Serving trays from Uncommon Goods. The streams are beautifully cut into cherry hardwood and are extra special with the added information.
In the same mindset, the Personalized Anniversary Pushpin World Map is a great piece of decor and thank you gift. Start conversations about where you’ve been in the world and where you hope to be next year!”

“As more people are stuck at home due to COVID-19, there are more opportunities to get creative with thank you gifts than ever before.My favorite thank you gift idea is the Amazon Smart Plug. This trusty device allows users to control smart devices with nothing more than the sound of their voice.
The Amazon Smart Plug goes directly into wall outlets and integrates with Amazon Alexa. Once plugged in, this smart plug can help users control things like lights, fans, coffee makers, and more. They can voice activate devices and even set them to a schedule.
This smart device adds a level of convenience to any home. Unlike a gift basket or a bottle of wine, the Amazon Smart Plug offers more than just a one time use. It’s a great way to say thanks and remind someone of your appreciation for years to come.”
Ian Kelly

“I love giving gifts that are consumable because then the recipient can enjoy an experience without unnecessary clutter.
A beautiful bottle of wine or scotch makes a great thank you gift, or perhaps a bountiful box of goodies from a local bakery. It is also a great opportunity to support your favorite local businesses, and you can get yourself a treat while you’re at it!”
David Meltzer
David MeltzerDavid Meltzer is the CEO and Insurance Agent at East Insurance Group.
“When it comes to unique gifts, I always go with personalization. In this case, a good idea to start with would be personalized mugs that bear a message of gratitude like ‘You’re the best’ or ‘A champ in life.’ You can even include the person’s name.
Doing personalized gifts shows that you put a little more effort in. That will always be appreciated.”

“Though cards can be used to say thank you, sometimes it’s just not enough.In my opinion, here are some creative ways to say thank you:
- A thank you hamper: Hampers are in the spotlight this season. Fill your hamper with fresh confectioneries, snacks, and a heartfelt thank you note, and your job is done. Brownie points for some handmade food!
- Handmade scented candles: Scented candles aren’t special until they’re made by you. You can watch tutorials on YouTube on how to make one and attach a gratitude card along with it. The person is bound to love it.”

“My friend is an artist, and she sends really great thank you gifts: ‘You rock’ paperweights. She collects rocks on walks and then paints them in a way that connects to the specific ‘thank you.’ Literally, every single gift is a unique piece of art. For example, I received a fun baking-themed ‘you rock’ after I dropped off some baked goods for her. I keep it on my desk and get a big smile every time I glance upon it.”
Trond Nyland
Trond NylandTrond Nyland is the Founder and CEO at Cordless Drill Guide.
“I often do carpentry or DIY jobs for friends and family at zero profit.I charge only for the cost of materials.
I once received a homemade thank you card and was blown away. I mean, this card was no easy fold-over card. I researched it and the technical name is an Aperture Card.
You fold the card like a tri-fold, with the intention of pasting fold one and two together. Cut a shape out of the first fold and paste an image into the second fold. The card will open like a regular card after, but you have your face on the front of the card in a star outline!
It’s the thought that went into it. The effort, the time. There was no sense of, ‘I have to buy something to thank him.’ It was a genuine thank you.”
David Cusick
David CusickDavid Cusick is the Chief Strategy Officer at House Method.
“One thank you gift idea is a customized keychain. It’s a practical yet creative gift. Choose a stainless-steel keychain that will last for a long time and will keep on reminding your giftee that they’re appreciated.”
Chris Laan
Chris LaanChris Laan is the Founder of Designer Shed.
“The best thank you gift in our COVID-19 era is a personal wellness package you create yourself.A wicker basket and linen cloth are inexpensive, but look great when paired together and stacked underneath a few wonderful treats. Try a diffuser, an inflatable foot bath, and a few of your recipient’s favorite foods and teas to get you started. Keep your gift basket’s total cost under a certain dollar amount, and focus more on what you know your recipient likes rather than on pricey items. When in doubt, add cookies!”
Daniel Cooper
Daniel CooperDaniel Cooper is the Managing Director of Lolly.co.
“A unique thank you gift is a jar or box of thank you notes that you’ve written telling the individual why you are thankful for them.
The notes do not have to be long; they can be something as simple as, ‘Thank you for the support you gave when I launched my business.’ Ask them to open a note a day until they’ve exhausted them. By the time they are opening the last note, they will have a good grasp of how grateful you are.”
Steve Johnson
Steve JohnsonSteve is the owner of BootMoodFoot, a website dedicated to all things shoes & footwear.
“One of the most unique or creative gift ideas I could suggest is an explosion box. It will make the giftee feel they are memorable and appreciated. It is like giving someone a tiny package that’s full of surprises inside. You can put in customized photos and fill it with thank you letters. Here’s one good example.”
John Cho
John ChoJohn Cho is the Founder of My Pet Child.
“I think that given the intense need from many charitable organizations across the US and abroad, a very thoughtful and unique gift would be to donate to an organization on behalf of the person you want to thank.
I recommend sending them a thoughtful note, letting them know that you appreciate their actions, and as a way of paying it forward you are donating to your favorite organization on their behalf. Right now there is a huge need from local pet shelters for food, blankets, and money, so that is a great place to start if they are an animal lover! Other options could be the food bank, women’s shelters, arts and sports education organizations, frontline worker support, hospital foundations, or urban farming initiatives.Find a cause that resonates with you and the recipient, and it will be a gift that truly keeps on giving.”

Albert Lee
Albert LeeAlbert Lee is the Founder of Home Living Lab.
“One of the best unique and creative thank you gifts would be a bonsai tree. Bonsai can come in many different styles and varieties, allowing you to really find a tree that really brings across your message to the receiver of the tree. If you are celebrating a long-serving employee well known for his integrity and righteousness, a bonsai tree of the formal upright style would be the perfect complement to his character. If you’re thanking someone for helping you through a difficult time, you can consider a bonsai tree of the cascading variation to showcase their strength and resolve in the face of challenges. The possibilities are limitless.
While gifts that are living usually require a lot of time, attention, and money to take care of, some beginner bonsai species require minimal care. Routine watering and pest management are all that they need from their owner.
Ultimately, the great thing about bonsai trees is that they are a truly personalized gift, and the owners can express their own ideas and creativity through the bonsai tree. A bonsai tree is truly personal in every sense of the word. No two trees are alike, with every tree being a reflection of its owner.”

“Here are a few of the best thank you gift ideas:
- Going on the person’s social media, doing research on what they are talking about most, such as a certain show they are binge-watching like Queen’s Gambit, and then getting something like the identical chessboard that is used in the show.
- Reenact a scene from the person’s favorite movie outside of their apartment/house.
- Get a bunch of people this individual knows to say thank you via video and end the video with one of their favorite actors from a show/movie they just love, who also says thank you via Cameo.
- Make a thank you video that involves their favorite animal.
- Have all of the person’s friends do an impersonation of this individual via video and make a compilation, as copying is the best form of flattery.
- Purchase any Coursera course that this person wants on the entire platform.
- Depending on where you live, write ‘Thank You (Name)’ in the snow or sand.”
Kelsey Chan
Kelsey ChanKelsey is the growth marketer and co-founder of CocoSign based in Singapore.
“It mostly depends on the recipient of your gifts. For example, if you are giving a thank you gift to a kid, a coloring book and coloring pencils would make the child more than happy. However, if it is a thank you gift for your employees or adults, it should be tailored to the individual. You might want to give a personalized coffee mug or a nice plant for their desk with a good pot, a hand-made card with chocolates, or whatever they like.
For the team members or friends, you could think of gifting a photo of you two (or the team) in a nice frame.
For someone who has just started a business, you could give a month or year-long subscription to digital business tools. For example, CocoSign (a tool for e-signing of contracts on video conferencing) would be a nice choice during the pandemic or beyond. Sometimes, buying a subscription to an OTT platform could work as an amazing thank you gift.”

“Sometimes, a simple thank you doesn’t quite cut it, especially in times when you might not be able to physically see the person who you are grateful for.
A truly thoughtful gift will go a long way. My favorite kind of big thank you gift always comes in the form of personalization. Wine bottle labels with their name on, a gift box with a lovely message inside it, or even an inside joke on a novelty item.
I would recommend if the thing you’re thanking them for was quite laboring, to get them something that will relax them. Think lotion and bath oils, hot chocolate, or even some alcohol. A wonderful towel with their name embroidered on it will let them know that they deserve some luxury and relaxation. Personalization helps with this kind of gift, as it shows more thought went into it.”

“In an effort to support my local restaurant economy, I’ve been sending people cakes as thank you gifts.Restaurants have had a tough year, so I want to help out a local shop and show my appreciation to someone at the same time. I always try to choose a neutral cake like carrot cake or banana bread. It’s easy to order the cake online, and a lot of restaurants will offer a delivery service.”

- Natural Bamboo Cheese Board (Price: $54.99) – Cheeseboards are trendy nowadays, and everyone is looking for one. This natural bamboo, cheeseboard comes with a cutlery set and a slide-out drawer. It’s spacious, it’s multi-purpose, and makes an ideal gift set. Nothing could be a better choice to thank your loved one with. Let them dive into 2021 with the best charcuterie board.
- Yinuo Mirror Scented Candle Set (Price: $22.99) – With four different scents poured in intricately designed mini containers, this candle set makes an amazing gift. Let them take it around the world or put it as a decoration in their lounge – it works perfectly both ways. These long-lasting scents are amazing for aromatherapy and help one relax and rewind. It comes in a beautiful box, which makes it a perfect gift choice.”

They come in colors of blue, black, pink, red, purple, green w/ pink gradient, etc. It has a straw for convenient drinking and a handle and strap for easy carrying. The BuildLife motivational water bottle is therefore a perfect gift idea for people who hit the gym frequently since it’s lightweight, despite the fact that it can hold one gallon of water. It helps your recipient increase their daily hydration while helping them save on buying and using plastic water bottles.”

“Investing in a pleasant and thoughtful thank you gift can show your thankfulness, building stronger bonds between friends, family, or co-workers.
Buy them a personalized notebook with their name on the cover. Investing in a thank you gift with their name attached to the cover can be a thoughtful way of showing your appreciation to someone you need to thank. It can be as simple or complex when figuring out the design on the covers using Etsy or other creative platforms you can afford.
It’s great for all ages since anyone can use a notebook to write their journal, create shopping lists, poems, or anything else they need a notebook for.
Personalized gift baskets can help you thank someone, as well. Buying any gift can be a great way to show someone your appreciation, but personalizing it when you know the person a little better can help make the gift even more special. You can figure out the little things they love, such as lotions, wine brands, cookbooks, candles, favorite snacks, and more.Gathering them all in a little basket will portray how much planning went into it, revealing how effort you put into the thank you gift.
Consider crafting a homemade gift you know they can use. You might also have a talent for building a mini bookshelf, jewelry box, or other creative craft that someone can use around the house. It’s a functional, practical, and creative way to show someone how thankful you are, and you can save more money on supplies you already have around the house.”

“A great thank you gift is one that is well thought out and selected according to the recipient’s personal preferences, and is ideally able to be personalized, to make each gift even more special and unique. Personalized cutting boards are a great and classy gift for someone who loves to cook or host get-togethers. For the people who are always on-the-go, getting a personalized coffee travel mug (as opposed to the typical coffee mug) would be a lifesaver. Apart from looking sleek, make sure the selected item is double wall insulated and has a tight lid!”

We started Designatea.com, an online tea company, 11 years ago and continue to enjoy knowing we are a small part of people’s special gift giving.”
Shelley Grieshop

“Handmade gifts, such as a thank-you card that is designed by the sender, are extra special touches that mean a lot to the recipient. Useful handcrafted items are always in good taste when you truly want to convey your thanks to one or two people. But if you need to show your gratitude to more than one person – such as several hundred employees or clients – you can be just as unique and clever with gifts that are personalized with a heartfelt thank you message. A customized tote bag, flying disc, or ice scraper with a personal statement such as “You’re the best!” says volumes about a person’s good character.”

Also, vases are beautiful with or without flowers, so it leaves the choice of using them to the recipient.”

“Creative thank you gifts should always be thoughtful. The key to having the best thank you gift is to remember the experience you just had with the organization or person. Purchase a gift that either reminds them of a laugh-out-loud moment or reminds them of a significant heartfelt story that was told. Or, get them an item they mentioned they wished they could have, if it’s within your means to get it. This takes creative gifts to a whole new level. Instead of personalizing the gift with their name, you are really personalizing it with their heart and the best parts of your last experience together. It’s a great way to say thank you and I’ll never forget you.”

For example, a beautiful metal bookmark may be just the thing to say thanks to any keen reader. Make the gift even more special by adding an engraved a message or having it monogrammed.”

“To make my thank you gift as personal as possible, I make a point to listen with gift-giving in mind throughout our time together so I can pick something that perfectly suits them. The gift doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be thoughtful. A recent client of mine is a speaker on the topic of charity. When we finished our work together, I sent her a DVD of a classic film that had that exact theme as a central part of the movie. I included a personal note about how much I enjoyed working with her and about why I selected the movie to share with her. She loved it and shared the gift on her social media platforms, mentioning that she was sure this was not a gift I sent to every client. She was right; it was specific to her.”

Luke StoffelLuke Stoffel is an entrepreneur & co-founder of Cinderly, a start-up run on sparkles. He grew up baking in his mom’s cherry-colored kitchen, carefully following the instructions on a set of worn paper cards from his grandmother’s recipe box with his little sister. His family raised them on the banks of the Mississippi River, and the tradition of sweets ran about as deep in them as that river is long. So, when he dreamed of his sure-to-be colorful future, it was frequently filled with the vision of running his own Rainbow Cake Café. For Luke, the most important part of living his life to its fullest potential was finding a way to share his glitter-covered, creative impulses with the world.
“Where I grew up, the best way to say thank you was with a gift basket of baked goods. My Instagram-worthy cookbook is full of the best tips and tricks to make a colorful masterpiece a reality. When sending out a heartfelt thank you, be sure it is baked with love.”

“When you want to say thank you, you want to do more than just a card, but you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. Something as simple as an artisan bar of soap with a hand-written note can mean the world to someone. It’s the little things, you know. Going on five years in the handmade soap business, I have found many folks like to say thank you with soap, whether that be to one person, two, or a crowd at your wedding, which is where smaller thank you soaps come in handy.”
