How often does gratitude go unsaid?

Think about it: We love and appreciate our family members, friends, coworkers, and other loved ones. We thank our lucky stars they’re in our lives every night when we go to sleep. We don’t know where we’d be without their support, advice, encouragement, and gifts (both of the tangible and priceless sort).

But when was the last time you took the time to write the words “I am so thankful for you, our relationship, and all you’ve ever done for me”? It might have been a while!

Writing a thank you card is a wonderful way to express gratitude to another person. And yes, drafting a thank you message might be triggered by another event (a gift, invitation, or visit), but it’s an opportunity to write those kind words that might otherwise go unsaid regardless.

Below, we’ve highlighted several thank you card ideas to express your gratitude. We’ll dive into what to write and which occasions call for a thank you note (although we’re certainly the practice-gratitude-daily kind of people).
