- The gift of listening. But you must really listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no
planning your responses, no second-guessing. Just listen. - The gift of affection. Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, and pats on the
back. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for your family and
close friends. - The gift of laughter. Send a link for funny memes and stories. Your gift will say, “I love
to laugh with you.” - The gift of a written note. It can be a simple “Thanks for the help” note or a full
