Hello,
How was your weekend? Mine was very quiet. I was so tired from birthday festivities that I really needed a couple of days to do nothing. I took some time to really look at the birthday gifts and I was yet again in tears, as my friends and family were so thoughtful in their gift giving. These days with email this and text that, or post this status, I could easily send a digital thank you. But I’m old school and love handwritten thank you notes. I appreciate the time taken to select and purchase these gifts so a personal thank you note is in order.

How to Write a Thank You Note

What you’ll need:
Note cards/stationary
Postage stamps
A good pen
Address list
A few heartfelt lines to express your sincere appreciation, mention the gift by name if you like, and a nice closing

Hey Girl,

Dude,
That gift rocked, can’t wait to use it!
With gratitude,
You

It doesn’t have to be a dissertation. Select a note card or stationary that reflects your style and personality. Some cute choices from Etsy, here, here, and yep here. The note should have a warm, friendly or even playful tone. Show your love and send a hand written thank you note!

When it comes to thank you notes, are you old school handwritten or new school electronic?
