Ideas for choosing a thank you gift they’ll love

There’s tonnes of great thank you gift ideas you can give to express your gratitude to someone who’s helped you out, it’s all a matter of personality and taste.

Here’s a quick list to help you pick out the perfect thank you gift to say cheers!

For the ones who like to relax

These gifts are a great choice for people who really value a bit of down time and self-care...

Aromatherapy gifts

Choose an aromatherapy set which includes high quality relaxing essential oils, plus a carrier oil or pretty oil burner/diffuser for a thank you gift they’re sure to love.

The most relaxing oils include:

●    Rose to calm anxiety
●    Lavender to help with sleep
●    Jasmine to de-stress

Super-soft throw

For someone who loves to snuggle on the sofa, a super-soft cosy throw is sure to make whoever receives this gift feel like they’re getting a warm hug as a thank you! For extra points, choose a colour that complements their living room.

A yoga nidra class

Yoga nidra translates as yoga sleep and it’s a type of yoga which involves lying on the floor with blankets and cushions and doing visualisations. Great for anyone who’s always busy running around, this is a lovely way to buy them a little a little downtime, peace and relaxation.

For the crafty ones

If you’re choosing a thank you gift for someone who loves arts and crafts, we’ve got some great gift ideas to help you out.

Crochet away!

Buying for someone who likes textile work? Crochet is easier than knitting, and there are heaps of resources out there for all levels. You could buy:

●    A ready-made crochet kit
●    A crochet pattern book
●    A pretty handmade crochet hook for someone who already crochets
●    A selection of crochet items or materials and pop them in a pretty gift hamper

Wax, resin or clay crafts

Buy a candle making kit as a thank you gift and let them know how much you light up their life, a cool resin set or an air-drying clay kit. Something a little unusual that will challenge their craft skills and spark their creativity.

The sentimental ones

There are so many different sentimental gifts to choose from, we could go on all day! We won’t of course, we know you have other things to do, so here are just a few ideas we think make great thank you gifts of a more heartfelt nature...

Personalised word art

What a great way to let someone know how awesome they are! Customise some personalised word art with reasons you think they’re great, we’ll print and frame it for you and get it sent to you to for a personal handover, or direct to them as a surprise. Fab!

Engraved glassware

Make it personal but practical, with a crystal whisky tumbler, pint glass or champagne flute engraved with a custom message or appreciation. You can add a bottle of their favourite tipple too!

The fits-all-purpose thank you gifts

If someone did a nice thing for you and you’re looking for a more low-key gesture proportionate to a smaller act of kindness, or if it’s a thank you for someone you don’t know so well, go more generic. So a nice bottle of boxed wine, a bouquet of flowers, a gift voucher for a meal or high street store or a box of gourmet chocolates or biscuits – something that most people would be happy to receive.

Hopefully this has given you some ideas to help you find the best thank you gift for the person who’s recently helped you out – it’s always nice to pay it back.
