11 Different Ways To Say To Appreciate You Without Using Words

We all want to feel appreciated and valued, especially by those who are important to us. Sometimes, words alone may not be enough to express how much we appreciate someone. Luckily, there are many nonverbal ways to communicate gratitude and show appreciation to the people in our lives. Whether it's a small gesture or a grand gesture, nonverbal appreciation can be just as effective as spoken words. In this article, we will explore different ways to say "appreciate you" without actually using those words. These ideas will help you express your gratitude and show your appreciation to those who matter most to you.

# Make them their favorite home-cooked meal

Not much says you appreciate someone more than making them their favorite home-cooked meal. Not only does it show that you remember that they love it, but the fact that you went through the effort to make it yourself can mean so much.

# Surprise them with tickets to their favorite show

They’ll be sure to feel appreciated when you come home from work and hand them tickets to see their favorite band. This is a rather obvious gesture that shows that you appreciate them, and they’ll likely get it right away.

# Plan a picnic

Picnics aren’t hard to put together, but they do require planning, effort, and a meal prepared by you. You’ll make them feel important and special by planning such a nice day with them.

# Start the shower for them in the morning

If you live with your significant other or are staying there, nothing says “I appreciate you” more than starting the shower for them in the morning. It’s not a huge gesture of your appreciation, but it definitely says it.

# Make them something with your hands

Anything homemade speaks way louder than words regarding your appreciation for a person. So knit them something, make them a chair if you’re a handyman, or even just making a cute origami flower is enough.

# Wear their favorite cologne/perfume on you

I personally feel so special when my boyfriend wears this certain cologne that I ALWAYS tell him smells amazing. He knows it’s my favorite, so he wears it around me, and that just makes me feel so important.

# Dress up in an outfit you know they love on you

Just as the perfume/cologne works, so does wearing a certain color or shirt that you know they like on you.

# Take care of all their chores for them

This is especially powerful on a day when you know they’re busy. Take the initiative to get all their chores done – do the dishes, vacuum the apartment, even do their laundry.

# Scrape the snow off their windshield in the morning

This one is HUGE! It might not seem like a big deal, but to those who despise the winter like it’s the black plague, it means a lot.

# Flowers

Even if you want to show a man that you appreciate him, flowers are a great way to do so. They’re beautiful and they always put a smile on someone’s face.

# Bring them coffee without having to be asked

If you know your partner likes coffee in the morning, get up a few minutes early, start a fresh pot, and bring them some to bed before they wake up so it’s piping hot and ready to go for them.
