If you like to let someone know they are appreciated, how do you do it?

I give them McNuggets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHA! How did I know that would be your gift?

Giving them a gift, cooking them something, offering reiki, offering time, or just a plain ole thank you or I love you!

By words and respect.

LOL, VA :) Typical!!!

A card or a small gift. Flowers. Taking them to lunch.

I try to help them in any way I can.  I am very generous with those I like.

flowers. i love flowers. i give flowers.

I tell them straight up & I'm happy to repay their kindness if I ever can. Sometimes I write them a card, but that's a bit "old hat" these days =)

oh no McKenna.... I do cards!!!! It's polite and lovely.

Well... I know I LOVE getting cards, but people look at me kinda funny if I give them one or send one sometimes.

& I just realised how "old school" saying "old hat" is!

I tell them in plain language. :)

ok..  are we talking, "like" someone as a friend?  or LIKE LIKE someone as in romantically. 

my friends i like to cook for.. 

my romantic interests i like to give flowers/cook for/interweb stalk 

(yes..  i am a stalker.  why do you think i use the search engine that won't record searches or my IP adress, and how i know what information can be found on a public database?)

USUALLY, my stalking is only online..  usually......

With words. Depending on the person, if there is something which is a treat for them - that they wouldn't buy themselves or do for themselves - I do that. also send cheery email blasts with photos of something that has meaning for them - field of flowers in dead of winter for instance.

This is a very good question. It's hard to convey how much I appreciate those in my life in a way that has meaning for them. I think about this quite a bit. Sometimes feel like i'm struggling uphill to express it.

I feel this way too, caribou. :)

Flowers are my usual 'go to' way to show my appreciation... I don't know anyone that doesn't appreciate a nice bunch of flowers.  If I know the person well enough though, I like to give them something specific that I know they will appreciate.  Like one of my best girlfriends LOVES Skittles- so, I'll sneak a bag in her purse when she's not looking! ;-)

CArRiE - love that. the Skittles thing is brilliant!! And adorable. :-)

This whole thread has reminded me to send a few things to some friends far away.

(((Alicia))) You made me feel better. Thank you sharing that. It's comforting to know someone else feels this way. Thank you.

(((caribou))) you're very welcome.

Do extra work for them on the job.

Venus in Capricorn.

Do work for them at home.

Mars in Cancer.

Do work for them in bed.

Mercury/Neptune in Scor...

Oh, you get the idea.  

I flat-out tell 'em.  :)

My way of showing appreciation is very subtle to most people -- I give support, man.  I put my energy under you and LIFT.  Yanno?  It's not very demonstrative and it's easy to overlook.  So if I get the feeling that they're not tuned-in to that wavelength, I just use my words.  :)

Reciprocate or say it out loud just to make sure they know,but I prefer to let my actions speak for themselves.

Return the same favor. Say thank-you either in person, calls or e-mail. Sometimes hand-written thank-you cards for elderly friends and family members.
