Her love language is words of encouragement so I wonder if anyone thinks a "thank you" card or something would be appropriate to show her her hard work has not gone unnoticed. I was never good at verbalizing my appreciation in her last job either to her financial contributions to the household. I thought about including a couple hundred bucks cash inside as a token of good will and a thank you.
Definitely DO NOT give her cash! First, that's not WoA, that's "Gifts". Second, cash is always a gift that says "I didn't want to spend the time getting you something special, so I'm throwing money at you instead". Works great on kids, not so well on adults! If her PLL is WoA, then go back and read that chapter for examples of WoA. It is NOT saying "thank you". Thank you's are nice, but they do not fill a person's love tank. WoA has to be a lot more directed and specific than "thank you".
