It’s the season for giving… and that means it’s also the season for getting. And that means it’s the season for thank you cards.*
Lists to make and check twice don’t only have to be for shopping; every year I keep a list of all the gifts I receive and from whom. After the holiday festivities have dwindled and I’m spending a post-imbibing day of “relaxation” on the couch, I take out the list and take the opportunity to say thank you to each person who has took the time to not only think of me, but also to spend their hard-earned money on me.
Never underestimate the power of a thank you—it will always be appreciated. There are many ways to say thank you, but although you’ve no doubt said thank you already, it’s also best practice to send a note, either by snail-mail or e-card (a plain email doesn’t pack the same pretty punch as an e-card). Some cute paper thank yous can be found here or here, but having pretty blank cards on-hand will also do the trick (and can be cheaper, as they might be sold by the box instead of individually). Alternatively, make your own with some colored paper and stamps or send a postcard. Rather do it for free? HipsterCards.com has some cute thank you e-cards, as does Rattlebox.
Thank you for reading! Now don’t forget to start that list…
*Actually, every season is the season for thank you cards! Send one to the friend who took care of your cat while you were out of town, the couple who had you over for dinner, the boss who gave you a promotion, anyone who gives you a gift or does you a favor anytime, really! Thank you is free (especially with e-cards) and you can never say it enough.
