There's nothing better than knowing you've made someone happy - especially if you can do so in some simple, thoughtful way. Here's ten easy ways to make someone smile today: I guarantee you'll be smiling too!
I'll start with the most straightforward and work up to ideas which need a little bit more planning

1. Write a note to say "thank you"
This is such a simple thing to do, but can mean so much. Write a note today to say "thank you" to someone who has helped you or done something for you. It could be to a parent, a child, a colleague, a friend, or even the helpful assistant in your local store.
Bonus points: Post or hand-deliver your note - don't just send it by email.

2. Set a fun screensaver or desktop on their computer
If you're in an office, why not switch a colleague's screensaver for something fun while they're away from their desk? Or at Home, sneak into your partner or parent's office to set up a new desktop background for them. Make it something that you know will raise a laugh.
Bonus points: Find a screensaver or desktop picture from their favorite TV show or movie.

3. Buy them their favorite candy
Even once we're adults, candy can still make us smile. If someone's a bit down, buy them their favorite candy - you could give it to them with your "thank you" note. It needn't be anything expensive: a well chosen chocolate bar might be just the thing.
Bonus points: Find out their favorite candy from their childhood, and buy that. (I'm very fond of Kinder Surprise…)

4. Send them an unexpected card
One step up from sending a thank you note is sending a card. A "congratulations" on a job well done or on a big life change (such as graduation) will always raise a smile. You might have to be a bit creative, but there's always some special occasion to offer an excuse to send a card.
Bonus points: Hand-make the card. Don't worry if you're not great at craft; just keep the design simple - if possible, making it personal to the recipient.

5. Do their chores
There's nothing nicer than coming Home to find that someone else has cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed! Roll up your sleeves and get stuck in with the chores: this goes down especially well with partners and parents.
Bonus points: Do a chore which you know they hate - cleaning the oven, perhaps, or ironing.

6. Make their favorite breakfast
Breakfast is an often-neglected meal - yet there are so many tasty options. One morning, get up early and prepare breakfast for one of your family or housemates. This could be as simple as nipping out to the bakery for some really nice pastries.
Bonus points: Set the table and get everyone to eat together, or lay out a special tray for the breakfast person!

7. Wrap up a surprise present
Receiving birthday gifts is always fun - but it's more of a surprise to get a present on an ordinary day. Buy a book, DVD, card game or other small gift that you know the recipient will love, and wrap it up for them.
Bonus points: Try making this into a game that you play on a regular basis, perhaps each surprising the other with a small gift once a month.

8. Make a mini photo album
Collect some photographs of friends and family, and put them into a mini photo album. You could either try making your own from card and ribbon, or use an online service such as PhotoBox to upload photographs and get a mini album printed.
Bonus points: Dig out some old childhood photos (you might have to use a scanner if you're making the album online).

9. Give them a day off
If you know someone with children, offer to take the kids off their hands for a day. It can be really hard for busy parents to get a break to rest and recharge - and if you pick some fun things to do, you'll have a great day too! (Theme parks, kid-friendly museums, ice-cream shops and leisure centers are all good options.)
Bonus points: Combine this with theater tickets or another "activity" gift that the recipient can enjoy without the children around.

10. Put together a book of their achievements
This requires quite a bit of planning and preparing, but it could become a treasured gift. Get a nice scrapbook and fill it with photos, newspaper clippings, graduation programs and anything else you can find that relates to special moments and days in the recipient's life.
Bonus points: This makes a great 21st birthday gift, with a page for each year from 1 to 21 (my mum made one for me which included things like my first postcard Home from camp).

没有什么比逗别人开心更美妙的事了!特别你如果你能用简单体贴的方式!下面是当今逗人微笑的10大简易方法。保证你也会笑!

我总是从最简单的开始,逐步发展到一些需要稍作规划的主意。

1.      写便条表示感谢

这事做起来这么容易,但却意味深长。今天,就对帮助过你或为你做过某事的人写个便条表达感谢。可以是写给父母的,写给孩子的,同事的,朋友的,甚至还可以是当地商店里的销售助手。

加分做法:粘贴或亲手递交便条,而不仅是发个邮件。

2.      在电脑上设置有趣的屏保和桌面

如果你在办公室,为什么为趁他们不在办公桌上的时候把同事的屏保切换为有趣的东西呢?如果在家里,偷偷地溜进伴侣或父母的办公室,给他们设置一个新的桌面背景。把桌面背景设成一个你知道一定会带来开怀一笑的东西。

加分做法:从对方最喜欢的电视节目或电影中找一个屏保或桌面图片

3.      给他们买最喜欢的糖果

即使我们已长大成人,糖果仍然可以让我们发笑。如果有人心情不太好,给他们买点最喜欢的糖果,你可以随感谢便条一起送给他。并不需要是什么昂贵的东西:也许,一块精心挑选的巧克力棒就好了。

加分做法:找到对方孩提时起就中意的糖果,就买那种(我特别中意Kinder Surprise的糖果)

4.      送一张意想不到的卡片

5.      比便条更进一步的是送卡片。工作出色的贺卡或重大生活变化(如毕业)的贺卡永远都可以让对方微笑。你可能需要一点创意,但生活总是有特殊机会找到理由送出卡片。

加分做法:手工制作卡片。不要担心自己不擅长工艺制作,设计简单就好,如果可能,私下给对方。

6.      为对方做中意的早餐

早餐是最常忽视的一餐,但还是有许多美味的选择。找个早上,早早起床,为家人或室友准备早餐。可以简单地跑到面包店买点真正好的糕点。

加分做法:摆好餐具,让所有人一起用早餐,或者为用餐者布置特别的餐盘。

7.      包装一个令人惊喜的礼物

收到生日礼物总是有趣的,但在平常的日子里收到礼物则更是充满惊喜。买本书,碟,扑克牌或其它一些接收人喜爱的小礼物,然后包扎起来。

加分:试着经常这样做,变游戏一样,也许每个月一份小礼物就可以让对方惊喜不已哟!

8. 制作一个迷你相册

收集亲友的相片,把它们放进一个小型相册中。你可以试着用卡片和丝带制作自己的小相册,或使用PhotoBox这样的在线服务进行相片上传然后把小相册打印出来。

加分做法:找到一些老的孩提时照片(你也许需要用到扫描仪,如果进行网络相册制作)

9. 给对方放假

如果你认识一个有小孩的朋友,主动为他们带一天小孩。对忙碌的父母来说非常难得稍事休息进行恢复,而如果你找到一些有趣的事做的话,你也可以过上非常棒的一天!主题公园,儿童友好的博物馆,冰店或者休闲中心,都是很好的选择。

加分做法:提供看小孩服务,并送上戏票或其它活动礼物,让对方没有小孩打扰情况下好好享受一下。

10. 将其成就编辑成册

这很是需要规划与准备,但也因此成为珍贵的礼物。准备一本好的剪贴簿,贴上照片、剪报、毕业仪式,以及其它任何能找到的有关对方生活中特别时刻特别日子的东西。

加分做法:这是非常美好的21岁生日礼物,从1岁到21岁,每年一页,我妈妈就为我做了一个,其中有我从夏令营寄回家的明信片。
