You’ve found the perfect gift to send your loved one, but what about finding the right words? A beautifully packaged parcel full of treats is ready to wing its way to their letterbox, but what about the words to accompany it?
1. What’s the sentiment?
Firstly, consider the sentiment. Is the gift for a birthday, an anniversary? Are you thanking someone for doing a great job, hoping to get well soon or because you want to send them a hug in the post? Before you put pen to paper, think about the occasion and the sentiment you wish to convey.
Don’t overthink it; keep it simple, and speak from the heart. Don’t be afraid to share how you feel. A great way to include a little sentimentality is to include a quote or a reminder of something you’ve shared together. You’ll probably get extra points if you make them laugh, or shed a tear!
3. Don’t forget to sign off!
Before you hit send, don’t forget to let them know who sent it. Let the recipient know it was you! It’s always a real treat to receive a gift in the post, but if you don’t sign off with a love from, how will they know to thank you?
Oh, and be sure to check your spelling!
Still lost for words? Here are some of our favourite phrases and messages for those occasions when the words just won’t flow.
“You are a rare kind of kind, thank you.”
“I love you with all of my butt, I would say heart, but my butt is bigger!”
“Everything I am, you helped me to be.’
“They say it takes a village; thank you for being my village.”
“You’re amazing! Sometimes we all need and deserve a little something to help us smile.”
“I hope you know how strong you are; I hope you know how amazing you are. I hope you know how much you mean to me!”
“You are the type of friend that everyone wishes they had, and I’m so glad that out of everyone in the world. I somehow got to be friends with you.”
“Sending you sunshine, hugs, and laughter … and a little treat for after.”
“You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you can ever imagine.”
