I've have friends bring me gifts, anywhere from my favorite chocolates/drinks to fine jewelry and vacations. Several friends, regular friends, have made me home cooked meals when I'm on the road a lot...it's so sweet. One year a new friend took me shopping and funded my entire Christmas that year. Flowers sent to the hospital (w my permission of course). Bills paid. Outreach supported. I could go on and on and on.
One of my favorites is so simple and under $10...
I love, love, love when payment is accompanied inside a nice card...leveled up from the fancy bank envelopes that are so popular in the industry.
My friends are the best.
