One of the most important things to do during this time of year is give. We all give during this time of year & spend countless of money on gifts for our loved ones, but sometimes the smallest of this can be gifts to others.  I've read a couple of posts on Gift Ideas; for her, for hi, for kids, for etc... which are lovely and great. On this post the gift ideas are for all, anyone, and everyone.


There is a a saying out there, giving is receiving, when you give with a genuine heart the joy you receive in return is enough to make some of the best memories. As I mentioned in my last post one of my favorite things about the holiday season is giving and people giving. I believe this is one of the things that makes the season so beautiful and special. Sometimes with the materialism of this world it is easy to forget that there re things that are not material that can be greater gifts that actual objects. On this post I have written ideas of the kinds of gifts that can make this season all that more special. 




1. Let the people you love know that you love them.
This is something that should be done all year round, but sadly most of us forget to remind the ones we care about the most how much they mean to us. Christmas season is a time to remember and show love to our loved ones whether that is with a gift, or spending time with them, or a small text message or a call to express your love.


2. Smile.
This is another element should always be a part of you all year, but if we have forgotten, we can always start again during Christmas time. Sometimes we underestimate the power of a smile, but lives can be changed with a little simple act. Not only is smiling a personal healer but it affects everyone around. You can give the greatest gift by smiling everywhere you go and to everyone you meet; the store, the bank, work , school, a restaurant, the street, just a simple smile. 



3. Online love.
This is a bit out of the ordinary but with technology these days, online is also a mean through where gits can also be shared. This time of year the internet is filled with Christmas insanity everywhere, whether that is people posting pictures or blogmas, almost everything is holiday related. Sharing personal experiences of the holidays is one way of participating in the festive spirit, but there is so much more you can do. Depending on the media, a like or positive comment, even a cheeky follow are simple little ways of  little gifts to someone out there. 


4. Random acts of kindness.
One of my live's motto is "Is the little things that make the difference", something so little an have such a huge impact on someone. During Christmas time little acts of genuine kindness are the magic of it. The world needs more kind people & you could be one with little acts here and there. No better gift than kindness, from holding a door, to leaving the parking space for someone else, to replying 'Thank you' , 'Marry Christmas' or 'Happy Holidays', buying lunch for a coworker, to buying coffee for a stranger, spreading the beauty & magic of Christmas.



5. Charity.
We cant forgeto give to those who don't have.  There are about 2.8 billion people in the world who live on less than $2 a day. One of my favorite Christmas songs, Feed The World, speaks about the importance to give to these people & letting "them know its Christmas time". There are thousands of charities trough which you can give, contact a local charity, church, shelters, orphanages, schools, maybe you know of someone who is struggling this holidays, give to them and the happiness you will feel will be a gift that doesn't compare. 

There are many ways one can give, if you have any more ideas to add, leave them in the comments.
