These unique and thoughtful presents are the perfect way to say "thanks" to friends, family, co-workers or teachers.

Sometimes, simply saying "thanks" just doesn't cut it. When a boss, teacher, neighbor, friend or someone else in your life really goes above and beyond for you, a "Thank You" card may not feel like enough to fully express your gratitude. The best thank you gifts allow you to show your appreciation in a way that goes beyond words, and no, you don't have to spend a ton of cash to make a meaningful gesture. Whether you need a gift for your best friend, a small token of appreciation for a co-worker, something sweet for your neighbor or your kids' favorite teachers, we've got some wonderful ideas.

When choosing a thank-you present, there are two routes you can take: you can get a gift that explicitly says "thank you" on it, which will really make your message clear, or you can go with a thoughtful present that you simply think they would enjoy. Whatever you decide, we have lots of suggestions to get you started, including inexpensive gifts and ones that will make more of a grand gesture.

No matter your budget or your recipient, you're sure to find a thank-you gift that they'll love (and that sufficiently expresses just how thankful you are to have them in your life) on our list. And remember: No matter how small, nothing says thank you like a gift from the heart!
