Tip 100 Give the Gift of Relationships
This time of year has always been so tough for me personally. All the protocols around gift giving. Sometimes it's exhausting, frankly. How much should I spend? Should I get her a gift because maybe she will feel uncomfortable that she didn't get me one... And then there is the "what if they don't like it." Well, it's the thought that counts. My dad and I tried for years to get each other gifts and it just never pleased either of us, so Dad had an idea - let's each go out and buy ourselves a gift and wrap it from the other person and the surprise will be what the other person wrapped. It was a lot of fun. Dad always seemed to get a ham and stamps. Sometimes "gutchies" (underwear in Pittsburgh-ese).
Anyway, I think the best gift is just letting someone know you really do care about them. We don't get enough of that. So what tells someone you care? Well, a nicely worded card from you saying why they are special and what you hope for them - to find the potential in them that you see every day. And tell them you are truly there for them however they need you. Then, the physical gift will matter less than the spirit in which it is given.
So, this holiday season, be there to help others achieve their dreams.
Of course, if you are looking for something to share along with that sentiment, my team came up with a few ideas below.
Warmest Holidays,

Brilliant post! I think that once you have a career and are over 25, gifts should be optional. I can buy myself whatever I want (outside of that Bugatti Veyron) and don't have a need for anything. I would much rather know how much I'm loved than how much someone budgeted for me. A starbucks card and a meaningful note are more valuable than just about anything else on earth (and I'm not that big of a fan of Starbucks).
