Even for someone who writes several thank you cards per week, it can be hard to come up with the right words to express gratitude for a gift. When that happens, I find that using a little starter message can get me unstuck.
Here are a few thank you messages that you can use to customize and get inspired from:
SAMPLE THANK YOU NOTE 1:
Wow, you really (_get me/were so generous_)! The (_gift_) you gave me was beyond perfect. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and am so excited to (_use the gift_).
SAMPLE THANK YOU NOTE 2:
It means so much that you (_gave me/surprised me with_) (_the gift_)! I can’t wait to _tell how you’ll use it_), and I know I will (_feel../accomplish) when I do. Thank you so much for the great gift!
SAMPLE THANK YOU NOTE 3:
Thank you for making my _(holiday/birthday)_
so (_fucking awesome/special_) this year! I really appreciate the _(adorable/cool)_
_(gift)_ you gave me, and look forward to _(using it)_. You’re such a great _(friend/mom)_!
