‘Thank you’: two little words that mean the world. But sometimes just a simple ‘cheers mate!’ doesn’t quite cut it – so if you’re struggling to know what to write in thank you cards, be it for your wedding, Christmas or a special birthday, we’re here to help.
Many of us are lucky enough to have friends and family members who love to shower us wonderful and thoughtful presents, celebrating our milestones with us and letting us know they care. Whether we’ve tied the knot, graduated with honours, celebrated a birthday or landed our dream job, our friends and loved ones are always there to let us know just how happy they are for us.
Besides presents, however, the people that are close to us show up in plenty of other ways, by being there to celebrate our successes, supporting us when we’re having a hard time, brightening up our days, or making themselves available to listen to our problems and dry our tears.
Here at thortful, we’ve got a fantastic range of thank you cards perfect for thanking your nearest and dearest, no matter what they might have done for you. Whether you want a risqué rude thank you card, a card to let someone know you care, or a beautiful and simple card to express your thank you wishes, we’ve got something for you.
And if you need some inspiration on what to write in thank you cards, then look no further, because we have lots of ideas!

Thank you messages for gifts
There’s no better feeling than when someone buys you a gift, whether it’s for your birthday or “just because”. But you might then be wondering what to say on a thank you card, to show how giddy with gratitude you are after receiving their prime present.
So, we’ve curated several sterling messages for you to write:
- You know what I loved the most about the gift you sent? How much you must listen to me on a daily basis. Love you!
- Thanks so much for the box of birthday brownies, I scoffed them quicker than you could imagine!
- You are so thoughtful, thanks for sending me a little pick-me-up when I needed to be picked up…
- Wow, I never thought I would own this watch. I’m in awe – thanks so, so much.
- You are the most generous person I know. I can’t thank you enough for the spa vouchers (but I’m trying my best).
- You taught me that gifts aren’t just sent for birthdays, and I’m super grateful for that (and you).
- I love a good tipple, so thank you for sending me those blissful beverages to my house. Let’s cheers to that!
Of course, when someone sends you a heartfelt present, they don’t expect to receive anything in return; it’s not tit for tat. However, if you love getting gifts as much as they do, send them something spectacular to their door to show your appreciation. All you need to do is pick their favourite from our thank you gifts selection and it’ll be sent alongside your card.
