When someone helps you out, a proper “thank you” is in order and there’s really no better month to give thanks than November. But what about when a text message or a card just won’t do? Sometimes, you’ve got to get creative in order to show people your appreciation. And you don’t have to break the bank in order to do so; there are many great unique gifts that are quirky, fun, and best of all, inexpensive.

We’ve scoured the internet to give you some great thank-you gift ideas. When thinking about whether these would be right for your intended recipient, think about their tastes, their lifestyle, what they love or are passionate about. If you want to express gratitude towards a Star Wars-loving co-worker who helped you with a project, why not get them a BB8 Bluetooth Speaker? Or for your tea-obsessed best friend who helped you move, gift them a cute bear mug as a sweet gift. When you consider the thank you possibilities beyond a greeting card, you can delight just about anyone with a thoughtful gift.
