We were indoctrinated into writing thank you notes for birthday gifts as soon as we learned to write.  While it seemed like a chore at the time, it was a worthy exercise, and something we try to continue today.

The key, besides starting ‘em young, is knowing what to say.  This hilarious article lays out the six steps of writing a thank you note for a birthday gift.

  1. Greet the Giver
  2. Express Your Gratitude
  3. Discuss Use
  4. Mention the Past, Allude to the Future
  5. Grace
  6. Regards

Thank you notes may even lead to better and more frequent gifts. Don’t let your next birthday go by without acknowledging those birthday gifts in writing!
