Thank You Notes For Gifts

Receiving gifts is like receiving blessings. Don't just take them and forget about them the next day. Whoever gave it to you, obviously put a lot of thought and time into buying the gift that they thought would be perfect for you. Don't insult them by writing a half-hearted thank you note, or worse a pre-written one, or even worse NO note at all!

Just imagine how you would feel, if you spent an evening looking for that perfect china set to gift to your friend on her wedding day and she doesn't even thank you properly for it. It would pinch you right? Why make someone else go through the same? Here are some examples of simple but effective thank you notes for gifts that you receive at any occasion.

Dear ______,

I absolutely LOVED the (name of object) that you gave me for my birthday! It's so YOU! I'll remember you every time I look at it (which will be quite often!)

Thanks a ton,
