15 Thank You Gift Ideas When Words Aren’t Enough
There are many ways to show your appreciation for someone. You can write a card or a little note, or even just say ‘thank you’. Sometimes, however, a thank you gift is the perfect way to share how much they mean to you.
There’s a wonderful range of thank you gifts to choose from to express your gratitude in your own unique way. With so much clutter around, it’s nice to be able to find a gift that you know will be used and enjoyed.
Not sure what thank you gift you’re looking for? You’ve come to the right place. From practical and personalised picks to more refined options when it has to be special, these thank you gift ideas will help you say ‘thank you’ in the best possible way.
Wine Bottle Openers
For those who enjoy a good glass of white or red, bottle openers are tasteful wine accessories which make for perfect thank you gifts. Electric corkscrews are great additions to any bar, and there’s a collection of classy sommelier sets that are sure to impress any wine drinker.
Oil Diffusers
Help make their home smell fresh and clean with a home fragrance. A beautiful way to show you care, oil diffusers and incense holders make for great gifts. As a bonus, you get to choose a scent that has some meaning behind it for something more personalised.
Mugs
From coffee and travel to floral, soup and novelty, there’s a mug for every thank you occasion. They’re a small and cute gift that can be tailored to the individual or given generally for a practical gift that will see lots of use.
Candle Holders
There’s nothing quite like receiving a lovely candle as a thank you gift. Why not show your thoughtful side with a quality candle holder that suits their style? Look for an elegant glass candle holder, or get adventurous with a metal lantern or crystal if it’s extra special.
Hand Creams
For a smaller thank you gift idea try a hand cream in a scent you think they will like. Show them you care by giving a little self-care.
Tea Towels
For a present that’s small and sweet, tea towels have a lot to offer. Choose a personalised print or colourful pattern, or simply stock up their essentials to show your gratitude the way you really want.
Cheese Boards
Cheese boards are a fine choice for entertainers. Ideal for any gathering, or even just a cosy night at home, they’re a nice little luxury gift that goes a long way to say thank you when a card just isn’t enough.
Charging Cables
Everyone needs to charge their phone and various devices throughout the day which means you can never have too many cables. Get them a USB-C cable or a lightning cable depending on their device as a simple but thoughtful gift. There are even convertible 2-in-1 cables for more versatility.
Skincare Face Masks
Everyone’s skin could do with some extra love and attention. Show that you care by giving them some self-care items such as a sheet mask or a peel off face mask. Eye masks are great for those people who work extra hard and don’t get much rest.
Pen & Writing Instruments
For a thank you gift that will mark any occasion with an element of refinement and class, quality pens are hard to go past. Choose from a fancy fountain pen, classic rollerball or a practical mechanical pencil.
Ceramic Plant Pots
A ceramic pot or planter box can do nicely as thank you gifts. They’re ideal for plants like succulents and can be placed on a desk, or hung from walls or ceilings to bring a splash of green to any space.
Tea
You’ll always be in the good books with a tea drinker when you give tea. Stick to the basics or branch out with a loose-leaf chai or matcha powder. Finish off your gift with a nice tea infuser or thermos mug.
Board Games
Board games are a unique thank you gift that’s great for young families (or anyone young at heart!). Warm up their cosy winter nights or summer holidays with a classic, dice or party game made by Hasbro, Parker Brothers and more.
Writing Pad or Notebook
Show your gratitude by gifting a handy writing pad or notebook. We always could use an extra notebook or two so this is a practical option. If the person you are buying for is always jotting down notes on the go, try a pocket notebook or if they are an avid organiser, go for a journal or diary.
Gift Card
What do you give when you’re not quite sure? Gift cards and digital vouchers to the rescue! Shop from hundreds of digital gifts from all of the best stores to show your appreciation - and let them pick a present they really want.
