From sweet friends to superstar teachers and coworkers who go the extra mile, there are more than a few people in our lives who deserve a little token of appreciation—or a big one. Thank you gifts are an excellent way to express gratitude, and whether it's a small, inexpensive gift or something much larger, the gift recipient is sure to appreciate your thoughtfulness.
So what makes for the best thank you gift? Consider your recipient, for starters. If you're gifting for a coworker, something small and professional like a new notepad or a plant for their desk would be appropriate. If you're gifting for a friend, then think about what their passions and hobbies are. If they love to cook, a set of infused oils or a batch of fresh honey would be a beautiful gift. Men can be tough to gift shop for, but there's even something on this list they'd love. After all, who can say no to candy and baked goods?
