DealDash’s Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude This Fall

We could all stand to be a little more grateful, couldn’t we? Here are some ideas to get you started.

Fall is the perfect season to focus on gratitude. As the year begins to wind down and the holidays draw near, small moments of thankfulness can bring peace and joy to your home. Teaching kids the habit of gratitude helps them see the good in every day, and it also can be surprisingly simple to weave it into family life. So read on for some helpful suggestions, from DealDash.

Start a Gratitude Jar

First up, find a jar, bowl, or basket and place it somewhere everyone can see. Then, each day, encourage family members to write down something they are thankful for and drop it inside. It could be as small as a sunny morning or as big as a special trip. Finally, at the end of the season, read them together and celebrate how much there is to be grateful for.

Share Gratitude at Mealtime

Next up, dinner is the perfect time to talk about the day. First, go around the table and ask everyone to share one thing they appreciated. It can be funny, serious, or even silly. This simple tradition helps kids recognize good moments and gives everyone a chance to listen and connect.

Give Back Together – Donating With DealDash

Finally, gratitude often grows through giving. Volunteer as a family, donate gently used clothes, or bake something for a neighbor. So, even small acts of kindness remind children that they can make a difference. Also, working together builds empathy and deepens the sense of thankfulness that makes the season special.

So, if you find yourself with extra DealDash bids, consider using them to bid on items you plan on donating. If you want to use your bids for good deeds, my suggestion would be to bid on items such as socks, which are the number one requested item in homeless shelters. Other suggestions would be jackets, sweaters, and shoes.

Gratitude does not have to be saved for Thanksgiving. And when families practice it in everyday ways, it becomes a natural part of life. So, whether you fill a jar, share a meal, or lend a hand, these small traditions bring warmth to your home and help everyone focus on what truly matters. Thanks so much for reading, and happy bidding everyone!
