The Importance of Unexpected Gifts
While many of us wait for special occasions to express ourselves, surprising others is important when it comes to maintaining relationships.

All-too-often, many of us—or rather, the majority of us—find ourselves waiting for special occasions to express how we feel. Whether it’s taking the time to say “thank you,” “you made me laugh,” or “I care about you,” we often make the mistake of assuming that those around us know how much they’re valued.
I bet, if you attempt to think back upon those times in your life when you felt truly important, it happened after someone took the time to surprise you with a special note or gift—just because. To this day, I have never forgotten the time I entered my ninth grade writing class to find that the teacher had left a special note on my desk thanking me for being such a great student and stating that she wished she had an entire class full of Diane’s. It was such a simple gesture, but the unexpected nature of it left an imprint on my mind that I am always touched to remember.
Plain and simple, maintaining relationships—or even foraging new ones—can take a bit of extra effort, so taking the opportunity to stop and express how much you care is one of life’s greatest privileges.
