“Give the gift of ‘being there’ instead of stuff. Give your time, your listening ear, your friendship to the people around you. Be there when your girlfriend gets dumped. Help a friend do yardwork. Take a stressed-out friend for a manicure.”— Kara Nesvig, thoughtcatalog.comTagged: Holidays, Christmas, gifts, Friends
“Be considerate and kind to others during the holidays. Don’t freak out over little things. Smile at strangers. Be friendly to sales associates and cashiers; they’re stressed out, too. It’s not hard to be a nice person.”— Kara Nesvig, thoughtcatalog.comTagged: Holidays, Christmas, kindness
“Can’t afford fancy gifts? Who cares! Make cookies. Offer to clean someone’s house, babysit, or promise to take care of them if they get sick. Little kind gestures are the best gift, and you can make cute coupons to give out for them to redeem.”— Kara Nesvig, thoughtcatalog.comTagged: Holidays, Christmas, gifts, Homemade Gifts
