It can be so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day. While holidays are cheerful times that allow you to recognize the people in your life, you don’t need to wait for a large event to celebrate them. Small gestures can be easily incorporated into your daily routine and leave those around you feeling honored
Below you’ll find a few suggestions:
- Set Out Snacks for the Mailman. Through snow, sleet, heat, and wind postal employees brave the intense weather conditions to deliver your packages. Set out a small basket of drinks or snacks if you’re expecting a surplus of mail or if it is a gloomy day.
- Send an Email Before Receiving Any. Get into the habit everyday of sending a short email to a colleague, family member, or friend as soon as you sit down to answer any emails. Thank them for their dedication or tell them you’re thinking of them.
- Pick Up an Appetizer. If you live in an apartment with a 24/7 support team, carry in a to-go appetizer for the night crew on your way back from dinner. They may not have the opportunity to curb their appetites in the late hours at the night and you won’t have to go out of your way to make them smile.
- Drop Off Needed School Supplies. A quick run to your local supermarket and a few dollars later, you can alleviate a few of the common expense’s teachers turn to their own wallets for. Bottles of hand sanitizer, a few boxes of tissues, and extra paper will make a lasting impact.
