If you’re looking for thoughtful gift ideas, look no further!

This season is filled with pressure to spend more than we have and it ends up being the most wasteful time of year. We can find alternative ways to show our loved ones how much we care.

One idea to experiment with this year is to choose gifts using love languages as a guide. Feel free to combine ideas from this list into a customized gift that your loved ones will deeply appreciate.

📝 WORDS OF AFFIRMATION: Write them a note naming the qualities you appreciate most about them. You can send it via text, email, voice note, or handwritten inside a cute card.

🫶 ACTS OF SERVICE: Offer to take care of something that might have been lingering on their to do list. You could surprise them with a car wash, help them declutter a room in their home, babysit their children, or buy their next round of groceries.

💗 PHYSICAL TOUCH: Host a snuggle sesh on your couch and enjoy a movie together. Hold hands and take a long walk. Or schedule a massage or a spa treatment on their behalf. 

🕰️QUALITY TIME: Find some time where you can be together uninterrupted. Treat them to a home cooked meal or play tourist in your own city by exploring new areas of town.

🎁PHYSICAL GIFTS: Consider gifting something handmade. Otherwise, shop with their needs in mind. Browse their Pinterest board or just ask them for a list of what they’d like.
