There are better ways to say, “I can’t thank you enough.”
As a long-time thank-you note writer, “I can’t thank you enough” is not a thank-you phrase that I use. The problem is the word “can’t” can feel negative.
After all, what would it take to thank someone “enough“? So what’s happening is that you are feeling incredibly grateful and may feel like your words are insufficient.
I recommend thanking the person for a specific reason to express your gratitude. In addition, my writing a better thank-you note guide may help improve your thank-you message.
If you want to go beyond a thank-you note and do something extra for them, consider thanking them with a small thank gift. For example, a gift card to their favorite store or a restaurant, or you could review my list of thank you gift ideas.
