keepzeEvery card, a keepsake.

Say what their kindness meant to you

A thank-you card can make a small kindness or a great deal of help feel properly acknowledged.

What to write in a thank-you card

Start with one thing they did. Then say what it changed for you. A few specific sentences can help you find your own words. Adapt these examples to the person and the moment.

Three thank-you message examples

For a friend

“Thanks for calling after my interview. You remembered how nervous I was, and talking it through with you helped me settle.”

For a coworker

“Thank you for checking the figures before the presentation. Your careful review gave me time to fix the last few details.”

For an everyday kindness

“Thanks for carrying the groceries upstairs. It made a tiring day a little easier.”

Use their name and details that are true for you. Keep it as short or as personal as your relationship calls for, then choose a cover for your words below.

Choosing thank you cards

Match the warmth and humour to your relationship. Thanks to a friend can be informal; a colleague or acquaintance may appreciate a more direct greeting.

Finding your words

Say what you are thankful for and, if useful, what it meant to you. One concrete detail can make a short note personal.

The personal writing on the right page is a sample. Change it to sound like you and keep only details that are true for your relationship.
