Personalized Holiday Cards can create meaning. But you can also creat meaning by something as simple as writing a remembrance in a card that is attached to a gift or as elaborate as taking your loved ones on vacation to a place that has special significance. What’s important is that you have added a layer of meaning and significance to your gift. Try the following:
Include a special handwritten note on the title page of a book
Send a bouquet of white roses, with one red rose to signify your love
Record a special voice message on your computer and email it to a loved one who can’t join you this year
Create a poster sized print of your favorite moment of you and a friend, captured on film
Create wallet sized prints of your favorite moment in a circle of friends
Send a completely handwritten letter, sprayed with your favorite scent
Record a video of you and your kids as a holiday update and send it out to your family and friends
Offer to provide a service (car washing, weeding, laundry) for an elderly friend who is not able
You get the point. You have to give…and the more you give of yourself, the more meaningful it will be.
