  • SAMPLE SOME IDEAS FROM ALI'S THANK YOU BOOK
  • Here are some examples from my book, The Thank You Book For Kids, of ways to make your thank you notes incredible. Don't just say thanks for the gift, rather describe your feelings with enthusiasm. You can turn an ordinary thank you into an extraordinary gift! Here are some fun ways to wake up your words and add some pizzaz:
  • A Picture-Perfect Thank-You Note (Page 9)
  • There are good thank you notes and then really great, memorable ones that hug people's hearts. To thank someone properly, be sure to describe how you felt when you received the gift. Describe what the person gave you and be specific.
  • Here's a Just O.K. Note:

    Dear Mr. and Mrs. Freedman,
    Thank you for the gift. I will really enjoy using it. Thank you for thinking of me on my birthday.

    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

     

    Now...Here's a Really Memorable Note:

    Dear Mr. and Mrs. Freedman,
    Your gift hit a home run with me. When I first opened your present, I thought I was seeing things. How did you ever know that I collected autographed baseballs?
    Your gift was a perfect match, since I know every baseball legend in history. You must be a mind reader, because I always wanted something signed by the one and only Hank Aaron.
    I will always enjoy your gift. Even as I get older, it will be one of my favorite prized possessions.

    Thanks again for your great gift,
    Jeremy

      • Wow! I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened your gift.
      • You should have seen the expression on my face when I saw your gift.
      • I appreciate you more than words can ever say.
      • I wish that I could be there in person to give you the biggest thanks in the whole wide world.
      • Your gift defines the word amazing.
    • Examples Of Some Creative Closings (Page 20)
      • With a heart filled with thanks,
      • Forever friends,
      • Miles of smiles,
      • Millions of thanks,
      • A zillion thanks,
      • Too cool,
      • I love, love, love you,
      • You're the best,
      • Hugs and kisses coming at you,
    • Examples of Some Creative Thank You Ideas:
      • Make a thank you kit for someone. Fill a container or envelope with stamps, thank you cards and return address labels that you make on the computer for a super thank you gift.
      • Make a list! It's super simple, but a thank you that will really be appreciated. Make a list of all the reasons why you love your Mom, Dad or a special family member. Or, if a friend is turning fifteen, create a list of fifteen things you really value about him.
      • "Mint" For Each Other? Purchase a colorful bag and fill it with mints. Tell your favorite friend, "We were 'mint' to be friends."
      • Thanks to a smart cookie. Bake cookies for a special person and add a note of thanks to inform your friend or family member that she is the smartest cookie you know!
