Not saying your birthday comment with six cake emojis isn’t nice… but come on.
We both know you could do better. We also both know your congratulations text after seeing they got a raise will probably get drowned out by all the other people sending them the same message. Here is how you can start standing out and showing your loved ones you really care.
● Consider A Handwritten Note. If you really want to make an impact, give them something to hang on their fridge. Sit down, put pen to paper, and send them a handwritten note. It’s a little bit more effort but it’s a personalized touch that Facebook just can’t match.
● Order Dinner For Them. Want to really show that you know your bestie? Buy them dinner from their favorite spot. You know their meal, you know their address, all you need is an assist from a delivery app to make their day. Wouldn’t it feel better to get tagged in their selfie eating the food than getting likes on a college you shared on their wall?
● Ask Them To Zoom...Then Have More People Meet Them There. Welcome to the coronavirus style of surprise party. Plan a Zoom with all their friends and invite them to it like it’s just going to be the two of you. Then get ready to hit screenshot because their face when they login to see a ton of loved ones in little boxes on their screen is going to be priceless.
