Saying thank you to someone for something that they have done is a simple gesture that should never be forgotten. However, if you really want the recipient of the thank you remember the gesture, you might want to try something a little bit more special. The following are 5 ways to say thank you without actually saying "thank you".

1. Mail a Handwritten Thank You: This is an all time favorite and timeless way to say thank you. It is not done often enough; in fact people rarely send handwritten any things anymore. You can buy a package of cards from Target that comes empty on the inside; or you can design your own cards. Write a few words to express how thankful you are and mail it to the recipient. They will cherish your card forever.

2. Scrap booking: This is an extremely personal way to say thanks you, but for the right person, it will have a huge impact. For friends, relatives, or lovers, you can create a scrapbook of memories for the person to look through and reflect on. You can purchase scrap booking kits online through Target, the Home Shopping Network, or even Joann's.

3. Offer a Pampering Day: One of the most memorable ways of telling someone thank you without words, is to offer the person you care about an escape from the troubles of their life for a day. For busy husbands, providing your wives with a spa day, tells her you know how hard she works at keeping your home together. Wives can offer husbands tickets to their favorite sporting event for a relaxing time or offer them a sensual massage at home.

If it is a close friend or relative that you want to thank, offer to take their kids out for the day or baby sit so that they can go and spend the day on themselves. Or, if it is your mother, father, or spouse, offer to take them to dinner after their day at the spa.

4. Give An Award Awards: are an official way to say thank you and work well in professional environments particularly. Give out a plaques or a certificate to say thank you to those employees who have worked extremely hard in recent times. You can also host a catered lunch, or give away gift cards to popular stores like Best Buy, Starbucks, or Target.

The same idea works great for families and friends. Instead of telling your husband how great a father he is, buy him a trophy that says it. Trophies, T-shirts, plagues and certificates that praise someone for being a great spouse or great friend go a long way to proving that their contributions are noticed and respected.

5. Send Flowers: Flowers are a great way to say thank you, especially to women. They are a great way to show gratitude for a variety of different special occasions or just for the generic "Thank You". You can order the flowers online with 1800 Flowers and have them delivered to the special person. The message attached to the flowers need not say anything more than "thank you". Though, it should be signed by the person who sent it!
