Tokens of Appreciation

Running a non-profit organization has many benefits. One of those is getting to meet and interact with an abundance of wonderful people. Some are helpful, some are informative and some are supportive. I often struggle with thank you gifts never knowing what someone will appreciate as a token of my appreciation. Zen Habits released a list of 30 thoughtful gift ideas that may help with my dilemma. Here are some of my favorites:

• Frame a picture of you with them.
• Journal.
• A nice pen.
• A letter, hand-written on nice paper, from you.
• A small plant.

One that wasn't listed that I've had success with is a piece of art. It doesn't have to be a Picasso but a small decorative paperweight will do the trick.
