Sometimes people might have a friend, family member, or member of the church that needs a little cheering up. In this situation, a gift that provides daily inspiration can be the key.

One Way Book Store manager Oscar Wayne Galloway said there are a number of gifts that can be used to help raise a person;s spirits.

“A lot of times when someone is down they want something to read,” he said. “We have a number of books that people purchase like Bible answer books that give the gift a personal feel. In a lot of cases, it seems like the book is talking directly to that person.”

One of the most popular books right now, Galloway said, is “Heaven Is For Real,” by Todd Burpo. The book tells the story of a young boy who died and went to heaven. He relays the story over a period of years.

Pocket crosses, Galloway said, also make a great gift.

“We have a number of people who come in and tell us how much they meant to them,” he said.

Below is another list of gifts that can bring a little sunshine to someone you know.

Some companies offer a jar with 365 messages in it for each day of the year. So whenever the person you gifted the jar opens it and reads the messages, he or she would feel and loved and wanted.

You can also gift some thing that shows man’s resolute courage, strength and determination to achieve success like an alloy figurine trying to push a steel chime up a mountain-shaped crystal.

A bracelet can also be gifted with an inspirational inscription engraved on it like “Life is a journey, not a destination” which would be like a reminder that every moment of life should be enjoyed.

You can also gift a stand and a whole bunch of quote cards so that every day a new quote card can be put up on the stand and that should be inspirational.

4A courage necklace would also be a good option with the Chinese proverb engraved on it “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

A candleholder is also a good idea with a message engraved on it. This gift would last longer and would always remind people of you.

You can also gift a laminated piece of wood that would have a message printed on it like an inspirational quote.

You can also choose a silver pendant on which some inspirational message would be engraved like Thoreau’s message “Live the life you have imagined”.

Choose a very beautifully decorated box, preferably a hand painted crystal-studded box that would have all kinds of small goodies.

You can also opt for a wall hanging that can be a very good gift for older people.

On a hand-embroidered vintage looking cloth with the look of old time and feel you might write what you want to express or recognize their strength and courage and write about them.
