The answer to “I want them to know I’m thinking of them, but I’ve got $25 not $75” — when someone deserves acknowledgment but your budget (or the relationship) doesn’t call for a grand gesture.
Six individually wrapped gourmet cookies with inspirational quotes plus a “You Are Awesome” biscotti. Small enough to not make things weird, meaningful enough to actually matter. Perfect for the coworker who helped you out, the teacher who went above and beyond, the friend having a rough week, the admin who keeps everything running, or literally anyone who needs to hear “you matter” without making it a whole thing.
This is for: Workplace appreciation without HR awkwardness, teacher gifts that feel personal, friend encouragement when you’re not made of money, “I noticed what you did” moments, thanking someone without creating obligation, or those times when you just want someone to smile and know they’re valued.
Sometimes “You Are Awesome” and six cookies say everything that needs saying. Budget-friendly doesn’t mean less meaningful.
