Tips

  • The template follows the format of a handwritten thank you card or email. If you are sending a less formal text message, you could remove the opening and closing and consider including a picture of your gift card.
  • If you received the gift card in the mail, writing a thank you note is a way to let the giver know that you received it.
  • When saying thank you for a gift card, you do not need to mention the specific dollar amount of the gift card.
  • Use a free tool like Grammarly to check your grammar.
  • Take time to choose the design of your thank you card, especially when you know the recipient will appreciate a handwritten note.
