• Try to be complimentary in whatever you write. The gift of money is a big deal and not to be taken lightly, so make sure they understand how much you appreciate it.
• Whilst your note doesn’t need to be paragraphs it should be more than one line. A few sentences saying what the money is for or why you appreciate the gesture so much is better than just saying “thank you”.
• You don’t have to state how much money was given. The recipient will know how much it was so there’s no need to repeat it.
• When talking about what you’re going to do with the money don’t lie. You don’t have to pretend it’s going towards something very worthy. Be honest about your intentions – they won’t mind!
• But do actually include what you intend to do with the money. Don’t leave it out even if you’re embarrassed or worried it’s not going to be what those gifting it to you had in mind.
• You don’t have to always refer to it as “money”. Instead you can say “gift” if that’s what you’d prefer.
• For a more personal gesture try a handwritten note. You can get some lovely thank you cards and notes that are very affordable on Amazon.
