It's the thought that counts

We don't need to do big things to gain attention. We don't need to give big gifts to show our appreciation.

Really, it is the thought that counts.

The fact that the person is important enough for us to spend time and effort to get him a gift is enough to show him that we care and appreciate him. There is no need to get something expensive or huge. Something practical is better than something impressive. After all, you will be remembered every time someone uses your gift, rather than let him place it somewhere as a decoration that gets forgotten with time.
