These days, thank you notes have become slightly obsolete. Young people rarely think to send their gratitude to relatives who have gotten them gifts, or friends who did a kind deed for them. If one thing has not changed over the years, it’s the fact that everyone needs to show thanks and appreciation for people who have helped them or provided them with money or a gift. It’s time to bring back thank you notes.
You can get motivated to start thanking people via notes by buying some cute stationary that you’ll want to show off. Jonathan Adler, Vera Bradley and Kate Spade are all amazing designers that offer beautiful stationary. Once you’re ready with all your supplies, simply start writing. What many people don’t realize is that you don’t have to have received a gift to be able to write someone a thank you note. If someone touches your heart in a way that makes you feel special, then feel free to write him/her a thank you card. Letting that person know how much you appreciated them, it will make him/her feel great.
Besides thanking a friend for doing you a favor, it’s also important to thank people in the business world. After an interview it’s common courtesy to shoot your interviewer an e-mail thanking him/her for the opportunity. This kind of courtesy shows how interested you are in the potential position, and exemplifies your good manners.
So no matter what your doing or who your doing it with, remember how appreciated you feel whenever you receive a thank you note. So next time someone does a good deed for you, break out your brand new stationary and show them exactly how much it meant to you.
