How to Write a Thank You Card

So, you’ve received a gift from someone (maybe for your birthday), they’ve provided a service or done you a favour. You want to thank them for it but don’t know where to begin.

It’s actually a lot easier than you would think. It doesn’t have to be long or fancy in any way. Just break it down into a few steps:

  1. Begin by thanking them for the gift/service – “thank you so much for the new phone you got me” or “I wanted to thank you for the wonderful service at your day spa”
  2. Let them know why you liked it so much or what you’ve done with it. Use specific details to show how much it meant to you – “I’ve been using it non stop since it arrived – I love the amazing camera!” or “the treatments and massages I had were brilliant and the staff went above and beyond to help with any questions I had”
  3. Tell them what it meant to you – “It was such a lovely gift and you know exactly how much I needed a new phone. I now have exactly what I wanted!” or “the spa day was to help me unwind after a stressful time so to have such a great experience and be made to feel special was just perfect. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it”
  4. Finish by thanking them again – “Thank You for being an amazing friend and for such a thoughtful gift!” or “Thank You again for a fantastic service. I’ll be recommending your spa to all my friends”
  5. Then sign your name! And that’s it.

It’s really that simple. Realistically anyone can write a quick thank you note. It’s just getting over the initial worry of not knowing what to say.

However if you’re still not feeling confident or want a little extra help and inspiration then take a look at the thank you sayings below.
