The Art of the Thank You Note

When I was younger, my mom always made me write thank you notes after receiving gifts. It seemed like such a hassle at the time but now I am really glad my mom had me do it. It shows good manners and it is just a great think to do!

Over time, I have mastered what to write in my thank you cards. I think part of it is just knowing what to say. I came up with a simple formula.

Intro- Write Dear whoever you are thanking

Sentence 1- Thank the person and state what you are thanking them for

Sentence 2- Say if what you are using their item for (or plan to)

Sentence 3- Thank them again

Closing- Say Love, Thanks, Sincerely, etc. (depending on who you are writing to) and your name

Example:

Dear Grandma,

Thanks for the Starbucks gift card that you got for me! I cannot wait to use it to buy my favorite iced coffee and a cake pop! Thanks again!

Love, Katie
