Being thoughtful means thinking about other people’s feelings and doing things to make them happy. It’s not hard to find ways to bring joy, especially on their birthday. You don’t need big actions or expensive presents. Even small gestures can mean a lot. Like getting your friend’s favourite snacks and adding a sweet note to them. It’s simple but it shows you care.
For example, a user on X (formerly Twitter) shared how a friend of his turned 24 years old on the 24th of March so their entire group decided to give her 24 different birthday gifts with 24 written notes. The best thing about this is that the gifts are not even expensive. The gifts are a bunch of snacks, candies and drinks!

This touched the hearts of several people online who stressed the fact that little things like this can really warm someone’s heart and make their day brighter. So, being thoughtful doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about showing you care in simple, heartfelt ways.
And they say thoughtfulness required a large sum of money… you people are not real lovers I fear. https://t.co/RjuJ4mAi2D

I will cherish this for the rest of my life. The notes will be laminated, trust me https://t.co/JM42x980yW

I’m a firm believer that people who think thoughtfulness costs too much money or is too expensive are simply not creative enough and are too lazy to even try. https://t.co/RZwWEe9lAu

My friends spent a year writing down everything I liked when we window shopped and then for my 19th I had like 13 gifts from the pomegranates I liked to the converses I wanted in all 3 colours I liked. 😭 no one can love you like your friends. https://t.co/bRnRlLBPmp

Forget about the gifts first, you see ‘handwritten’ notes. >>>>>
I adore it greatly. A friend of mine gave me one in 2019, I mean: it was the first one ever and I still have it in my documents file. 😌 https://t.co/jUz5ed6zk6 pic.twitter.com/kaCcmscIT0— oyindun. (@_chocomilo_) March 26, 2024
as someone who is not a huge gifter or enjoys receiving expensive presents from others, this is incredibly thoughtful and cute. it didn't make me feel any less, but rather appreciated. https://t.co/iZoUujwEHO
