Thank You Gifts For When You Don't Have the Words

Sometimes a card just isn't enough to express the depth of your gratitude. When someone has truly gone above and beyond for you, consider one of the many thoughtful thank you gifts offered by Williams Sonoma. The better you know the recipient, the easier it will be able to target the gift to their interests and personality - a beautiful cookbook for the amateur chef, for example, or a lovely copper watering can for someone with a green thumb. However, Williams Sonoma carries so many universally thank you gifts that even if you don't know the person particularly well, you'll have no trouble finding the perfect token to convey your gratitude.

The Options

Williams Sonoma has a wide range of thank you gifts at a variety of price points. You'll find luxurious sets of hand soaps and lotions, gourmet olive oils, home fragrance diffusers and more. This collection of thank you gifts also includes delicious candies and baked goods. The one thing all these gifts have in common is that they are special items that someone is unlikely to buy for him or herself. Read on for a few ideas.

• Frantoio Muraglia Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Octopus Bottle - This bestselling gift is part of Muraglia's Pop Art Collection, which presents their award-winning olive oil in a beautiful, handcrafted ceramic container.
• Le Marais Au Beurre Croissant & Coffee Gift Set - Give the gift of a delicious, fuss-free morning with this breakfast set, which includes eight croissants and eight ounces of whole coffee beans.
• Home Fragrance Candle - Developed exclusively for Williams Sonoma, these large, hand-poured soy blend candles have three wicks and come in a white glass holder with a lid. Available scents include citrus & sage, cedar & cardamom and jasmine & yuzu.
• Margarita Duo with Salt Gift Set - With two bottles of organic margarita mix and two containers of rim salt, this gift box would be perfect paired with a nice bottle of tequila.

Thank You Gift Baskets

When one gift isn't enough or you just really want to spoil the recipient, thank you gift baskets are a great option. You can keep things simple by selecting from William Sonoma's assortment of premade gift baskets where you'll find plenty of cheese and charcuterie options as well as more thematic baskets like their Truffle Pantry Gift Crate, which is full of items that highlight the prized flavours of white and black truffles, or their Lavender Gift Basket, which features an air-dried lavender bouquet, lavender incense and a chocolate bar made with lavender oil.

If you prefer to have more control over your gift, you can make your own basket from scratch. Just choose your vessel - something they can reuse like a serving bowl or picnic basket is ideal, and then let your imagination run wild, filling it with whatever you think will delight your recipient.
