Sure, it's the thought that counts, but a gift doesn't hurt.

There's a lot of ways to say thank you. Of course, you can literally say it about 1,056 times, shoot over a meaningfully long text, whip up a little ode of appreciation, or our personal favorite, pick out a gift. While one isn't particularly better than the other, there's something to be said about the latter. Getting someone a token to express your gratitude really shows that you've gone out of your way to do something special for them.

Whoever it's for—a family member, friend, partner, coworker, manager, neighbor—a little present goes a long way. You can get that new necklace your pal's been eyeing or maybe a bottle of wine that you know your mom will love. Or that gift basket that you are even tempted to send yourself. Honestly, there's not really a wrong way to go about it. Just get them something that shows you're thinking about them. You may not even have anyone you want to thank today, and that's okay. There's no harm in picking up something now that you can have handy when the time comes.

So scoop up one of the 24 best thank-you gifts to show your appreciation instead of just saying it. But make sure you say it, too, because we all could use a little appreciation every now and then.
