We have a lot to be thankful for, and when someone goes out of their way to show you kindness, provide you with hospitality, or give you a gift it is always nice to send them a heartfelt note to show your appreciation.
It may seem more convenient to just send a text, but writing a card is scientifically proven to be a more thoughtful means of communication. Our study with Oxford University anthropologist Dr Anna Machin showed that 66% of people said a personalized card made them feel happy and closer to each other. So we came up with a list of 50+ thank you messages, ranging from simple to sentimental, to make your Thank You card wording perfect.
And to make your thank you even more personal, you can create a custom-made card with TouchNote.
