How to Say Thank You with a Gift

Thank you. Two words that should say so much yet often can fall short when trying to express true appreciation. Whether someone’s act of kindness to us is big or small, how we say thank you in return needs to also be thoughtful. A thank you gift can be more than just good manners or being polite. It’s sends a deeper message of positivity and helps strengthen relationships.

How to Get It Right

Showing deep gratitude to someone can be subjective and extremely personal. There is great difficulty determining what measures up to someone’s thoughtfulness. Finding the right gift or present is essential in letting someone know their generosity of time and effort will never be forgotten.

Finding an Appropriate Gift

When invited to a wedding or an engagement party, a gift registry can ease the pressure to search for the perfect present as it can guide guests to choose what the happy couple need or desire.

Whether it’s thanking a friend for their emotional support during a time of personal hardship or your neighbour who watered your plants while you were away, it can be tricky finding an appropriate gift that doesn’t fall short in conveying the perfect message.

 Lack of time may also make sourcing the right gift even more challenging.

 Time is of the Essence

Finding the right gift to say thank you can prove to be all consuming. Unlike birthdays or anniversaries which are regular occasions that we can conveniently plan ahead for, the need to send a thank you present can be spontaneous and urgent. This can leave little time to organise a gift that is appropriate or relevant. Yet, time is of the essence when expressing gratitude. The sincerity of a thank you present can be lost if the delivery is delayed.

“Isn’t a gift card impersonal?”

 “Do I really want them to know how much I’ve spent on them?”

By giving someone a gift card, you are giving them a present that is practical and will be used with gratitude. You can’t put a price on a present that makes good sense but is also thoughtful.

9 out of 10 people prefer receiving gift cards because there are no unwanted gifts to return. They will think of you fondly because you made the effort to say thank you with something they can truly use and not let go to waste.

“How can you put a monetary value when saying thanks?”

You can’t. No one can put a dollar sign when it comes to saying thank you.

A gift card is priceless because it lets the recipient know you care about them so much, you want them to use the card on something they want for themselves.

More than just thank you

How you say thanks to someone goes beyond the gift. A gift card keeps you connected with those whose help and support have been appreciated beyond measure. It isn’t simply a token of politeness. It helps strengthen families and friendships. Sending a gift card of thanks will reciprocate the emotional positivity that people have given you.
