Some tips for spending little and giving with the heart:
Think about personal details. Even a simple object becomes special if it has something that reminds you of the person you are giving it to: a color, a smell, a theme you love.
Choose something useful. Often, a small, functional object (like a purse, keychain, or travel toiletry bag) is appreciated more than we realize.
Don't underestimate the surprise effect. Even a small gift, if presented in a nice package or with a sweet message, can make a huge difference.
