Wonderful post! Gratitude is probably my favorite thing. My favorite way to show and receive gratitude is to live with an attitude of gratitude and attempt to be grateful for even the smallest(biggest depending on how you look at it)things. By remaining in a state of gratitude I ensure my expressing of which on a regular basis. As for direct actions, gift giving is my primary love language so thoughtful gifts are my favorite way to show another how grateful I am for them.
