A handwritten thank you is more powerful than you think. Anyone can send an email or text, but a handwritten thank you note, with the quirk of your penmanship, speaks volumes of how much you value the gift giver in your life. They went to great lengths finding a perfect gift, and by eliminating the impersonal side of technology, you are ultimately showing your appreciation of their generosity in the most personal way.
1. LIST
During the holiday season, keep a list of all items you receive. Jot down gifts from loved ones, neighbors, or colleagues. A list will make your writing easy by having all the details in one spot.
2. PERSONALIZE
Craft two to three sentences of appreciation and include some personal details. If penmanship is your reason to avoid writing a thank you, purchase a laser level to give you guidance for straight lines.
3. EMBELLISH
Add seasonal postage stamps and personalized wax seals to finish off your look. If you have a signature color or style, consider personalized stationery or envelopes to finish off this bold expression of your personality.
