How to Write a Gift Note That Lingers
The gift is opened once; the note is often kept for years. Here is how to write one worth keeping.
Quick answerA memorable gift note is specific, short and warm: name one real moment you are grateful for, keep it to three or four lines, and close with something you would actually say aloud.
The most memorable part of a gift is often the smallest — the card tucked beneath the ribbon.
Be specific
“Thank you for everything” is kind; “Thank you for staying late every night before the launch” is unforgettable. Name one real moment.
Keep it short
Three or four lines are enough. Leave space for the gift to speak.
End warmly, not formally
Close with something you would actually say aloud. Sign with your first name if the relationship allows it.
