Small acts of kindness


I these modern times, thank you gifts have become such a rarity.  Back in the day, small acts of kindness were acknowledged with a pretty hand written note, a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers.  


Next time you want to say thanks, try something not so cliche.  

Recently I went with a tea themed gift for a family friend.  I started with a cute little mug and filled it with a vanilla tiny tea from T2.  I also included some white chocolate macadamia cookies from the Byron Bay Cookie House for her to dunk in the tea...yum!  

It was gift wrapped in a plastic basket, tied with ribbon and finished off with a tag attached by a paper clip (as if to look like a tea bag).


A gift like this one will probably set you back about $30, which is not bad considering a good box of chocolates or small bunch of flowers starts at about $15.
