Looking to be that good person who gets that special someone in their life a little something nice this holiday? Even in a serious recession, where many will not be giving very many gifts at all, we all still have someone in mind who we’d really like to do show our appreciate, love, and gratitude to.
Here’s something that you should really consider as a gift this holiday. And with a little spin, this not so special thing becomes ‘awww’ special. Behold, the gift card.
But not just any gift card! Oh no – rather than getting a certain coffee company’s gift card that $10 worth gets you 3 coffee drinks – head on over to a place that could really do something good with $10. It doesn’t matter if you can do a gift card for a small amount or are willing & able to purchase one for someone for a higher denomination – this gift card is giving one of the most important & easily impacted things in a persons’ health.
This season, head on over to the local health food grocery store – Trader Joe’, Whole Foods, your local Vitamin Shoppe or similar store. When you give this gift card, you can make it for even a small denomination & the person receiving it will be able to purchase something that will impact their health. And that is a gift that makes that little card worth so much more than the plastic it was printed on.
Just consider it this holiday season – $10 gift card to the coffee house or $10 gift card to the health food store so a person can begin or carry on a nutritious healthy life? Both are nice, but one is infinitely more practical & impactful to the life of the person you are giving a gift. And bonus points to you if you attach a little note to the envelope saying something like, “Thanks for all you do, now go get something good for you~”
More simple & healthy gift ideas coming as we get closer to the holidays!
