Before worrying about what to give a friend or loved one, first consider your intention. Do you want to provide laughter or joy, comfort, or maybe a moment of calm?

The art of gift-giving is less about the gift itself and more about your motivation. When your heart is in the right place, the perfect present will follow.

Whether a kind word, a listening ear, a gift wrapped in homemade paper, or a voucher for a date night, your gift matters for two main reasons:

1.) You are taking time to show another that you care

2.) You have the opportunity to momentarily change someone’s world

Lead with love and stay grounded in kindness, and your thoughtfulness will be received with gratitude.

The what matters less than the why.
