How to thank someone?

Most of the time, saying "thanks" is enough but sometimes I wanna go further from that. There are instances that the person had helped you so much that a simple "thank you" won't be enough. I guess it all depends on what you think is the right thing to give them.

You can always thank them for what they did by showing them love and kindness. It is not always have to be materialistic to show someone that you appreciate them. It seems that your sister is one of a kind and taking her out for lunch may be good or helping her once a week with her daily chores would make her show that you appreciate her help.

I think that it is all about how you treat someone every day. I am thankful of my Mother for everything that she has ever done for me, and I will try to do things like help around the house when she is at work, make her cups of tea when she is relaxing in the evening, and yesterday I took her out for lunch to thank her for letting me live with her for the last couple of months when things have been hard for me. Things like flowers and chocolates are always a nice gesture when you want to show someone that you appreciate them, or if you fancy giving her something more substantial then perhaps a spa day would go down very well with your sister.

Well indeed its a lot of favors being done to you from older sister. Humm now for thanking her and appreciating her it might be quite a challenging task for ya, One thing i can say his during the appreciation period give more attention to her kids. Try and help the kids in situations also try spending some time with the family, keep updated with the pros and cons of the family and when the chance comes up get that benefit to help her or her family. I think this is the best way of appreciation to her though its a long term process but it will surely give your ripen fruits.

There are many ways of thanking someone who had helped you aside from the word "Thank You" of coarse and tell her how you really appreciates the help she had done.You could treat her for dinner,musical concert or give her presents which she really loves.You could also baby sit for her children while she and his husband are away.

for me appreciation doesn't necessarily mean treating her to a five star resto or giving her a ticket for a tour around the world. you can start appreciating her through the littlest ways possible. like making her a cup of coffee or maybe giving her a nice massage when she's tired. maybe giving her a surprise letter or even cooking for her. make her feel special in your own way. of course if you can afford the things that i mentioned first then you can go on and do that as well. the bottom line, is you must let her know how you truly feel. Good Luck!

Welcome to myLot Amber313 I don't have older sister but I have a younger sister. Therefore I always envy those who are that fortunate.I'm glad to learn that your sis is such a considerate and caring as well as enthusiastic and generous person who never concerns about personal gains or losses Other than to get her somethings which she long to have, I think to hug her always is the best way to show the warmest solicitude and appreciation for her. Happy posting and have a nice day

hi amber welcome to mylot you are really new lol. I would take your sister to her favorite restaurant and order her favorite foods too and get someone to babysit if need be. You and her can enjoy each other and it wo uld be a break for her too. Then also perhaps a bouquet of her favorite flowers. these are just my suggestions of course.

I would do something little for her like babysit on a Friday night if you are not working. Give her some alone time to do things she wishes. I would buy her something little and inexpensive to show you care but you are not buying her love!

Sometimes its very very hard to thank someone even if the person has helped you a lot, more than anybody else in the life. Why this is so? Why you hesitate to say only three words of appreciation for whom who has heally done something unforgettable in the life? . I am not blaming you friend, its very important to know the cause. And we have to work it out. This may be because of lack of frank conversation.(i think so). You may be chatting long time but not enough frank, that is why its difficult for you to say this. Now try to be very free with her in day to day life ,make her feel that you are really thankful for her with your conversation. After this, it would be easier for you to say that you thank her. . Don't miss any chance to thank everyone who helped You. . Best Of Luck!

With a smile. All seriousness, include a smile when you thank her. Usually a verbal thank-you in which you keep eye contact and smile will do. Especially when it comes to siblings. Following up with a gift will just act as a bonus. If you're planning to find her a gift, figure out what she is interested in or what she might really need at this moment. If she is stressed and is really good at hiding it with her smile, I suggest a day spa treatment, buy her a gift card to a local day spa, or invite her and you both go together. It may be really tricky, but start observing her for a while and see what makes her smile on the television etc. This will really help you find that true gift that she will really appreciate. Also, make sure in what ever situation that you will also be there for her when she needs you the most. And when you approach her each day, make sure you keep a smile. I emphasize the smile in this response as smiles are very powerful. It can really make people's day whether they admit it or not. cheers.

Allways being nice to her. Allways calling to say hello, especially on her birthday. You can visit her when she needs it and sure she will be happy. Also can you give her a book or magazine, as a gift, to enjoy reading them. You are lucky to have like a sister.

Treat her by giving her a one day off to a wonderful beach resort together with her family. Have the accommodations and meals be ready when they arrived. Your sister will be truly happy for you will give them the time of their life. I am sure her kids will enjoy the marvelous sights and by this your sister will thank you with her heart.

How to thank her is really personal and depends on your personality, and hers too. If you have ever read The Five Love Languages - great book - it teaches that there are 5 primary ways that people give and receive love. The five are: gifts, physical touch, quality time(one on one time), acts of service, and words of affirmation. Think about which of these five "Love Languages" seem to mean the most to your sister, and try to utilize those in how you choose to thank her. I'll give you a brief run down of the Love Languages and some clues to tell which of these are a primary way this person perceives love): Gifts: A gift that is thoughtful really means a lot to her. Physical touch: A hug means the world to her, more than words could ever do. Quality time: She really just would love noting more from you than to spend time with you, that would "speak" loudly to her. Acts of service: She would be blown away if you did something for her, like watched the kids and cleaned her house while she went on a day trip or vacation. Words of Affirmation: The positive things people say to her, compliments and such, really mean the most to her. I hope this helps. The book is great. It is meant for married couples, but the principles in it can be applied to daily life.
