You can brighten up someone day without a pricey gift!

I didn't grow up with lots of money, so I always find creative ideas to cheer someone up as I got older.

I started doing small things for others that didn't involve cash or much of it, to show my thanks, appreciation and/or admiration for someone. Like there was once, I bought chocolate bars for the whole office staffs and have them placed on each of their table before they come into the office.

Check out some of my favorite ways to brighten someone's day to make them smile without hurting your wallet. Most of these actually mean more to the recipient than monetary gifts do because they come from the heart, not the wallet.

1. BRING EXTRA FOOD TO SHARE

If you are bringing something to eat for breakfast at work, bring a little extra to share with the people around you.

2. LEAVE A NOTE

Because we are all too used to sending handphone messages or emails and we forgotten one of the simplest ways to brighten someone's day comes in the form of a handwritten note. Taking the time to write and either mail or hand-deliver a hand-written note says you care about the person.

3. COMPLIMENT THEM

A lot of times, we get too busy with what we are doing and not taking the time to tell people all the positive things we notice about them. Yes we should not make a fake compliment but take a moment to consider how you could genuinely compliment someone about either their outfit, appearance, hairstyle, make-up, shoes, hard work, recent accomplishments, etc. and tell them you admire them for it.

4. INVITE THEM FOR DINNER

Many people love receiving food gifts, people also love being invited to dinner. Brighten up someone by asking them over for dinner to show your appreciation, care or concern. Some homemade hearty food will sure make them feel warmed and loved.

5. GIVE THEM A CALL

A simple call could be even better than hand-written note. In today's high-tech society, we often overlook this simple pleasure. We often give excuse to ourselves that we are too busy, but a call to tell someone you miss them or find out how are they will make that person feel that he/she is special and mean a lot to you.

6. DO A TASK OR CHORE FOR THEM

If you are at work, help someone with a certain task that he hate to do. If you live with someone, make him/her breakfast, do their laundry, or make their bed for them.

7. UPDATE THEIR PLAYLIST

This is great! I love music! Giving others the gift of music is a timeless one. You can burn them into a CD and pass it to them or even help them download to their phones.

8. FLOWERS

Flowers are a great way to show someone you care, and they don't have to be pricey roses.
You can pick out an inexpensive bouquet of flowers for them and make someone smile with an oldie, but classic way to brighten someone's day.

There maybe other more effective ways to brighten up someone smile but I find these are the few most rewarding and effective one. Have you ever brightened someone's day this way or been the recipient of such a deed?
