If there is any quality that embodies the holiday season, you’ll find that nothing sums it all up quite like the spirit of giving. We give so much to others every day without realizing it. We give a smile to each other as we are traveling. We give our time to friends and family when we speak to them. We give our dedication and hard work to our employers. But during the holiday season, we look to give some things that are a little more tangible.
It can be difficult to look for gifts. We want the things we give to people to be memorable, to be appreciated, and to be used. Too many gifts end up in the regifting pile for next year’s festivities and that is the last thing we want our hard earned money to be going towards. This year, we have some unique gifts that are certain to bring joy to the receiver and be used all year ‘round.
Give the gift of your time
Time is the one precious commodity we have that can never be replaced. It is a wonderful thing to spend your money on a present that will be lasting, but when you give your time, you are giving of yourself. This season, give the gift of yourself by considering donating some of your time to a local charity. Habitat 4 Humanity is a great charity to work with, they do what they can to provide housing in low-income areas. That means families that need housing will be getting what they need because of you. That’s a gift that will keep giving for years to come.
Give the gift of productivity
Speaking of time, if you spend a lot of time in the office, you know that productivity is always a challenge. You’re looking for a way to become more efficient and get more done at every turn, and that never seems to come to an end. Every productivity junkie knows that there is one way to get everything done, and to keep your focus on the project to completion: good old-fashioned caffeine. For you and all your fellow caffeine addicts, consider getting Anthony’s Espresso machine. It’ll keep you zipping around the office and help you get those halls decked in no time flat.
Give the gift of security
We love to buy things that have value because we believe that we will be able to pass that value along to the people who are important to us. We invest in homes that we do our best to preserve the value of. We place money into stocks, bonds, and other safe places to ensure that we will have our assets protected. When you give the gift of precious metal or security through a gold bullion depository you are giving the gift of assets that are able to be protected so you can pass that value on.
No matter what you choose to give this season, you’ll be giving it with a full heart. That’s the main thing we need to do this season and every season.
