Writing
the Perfect Baby Gift Thank You Note.
By :
Kathie Papera
 |
You’ve
gotten a beautiful baby gift, what do you do now? The
most appropriate thing to do when you receive a gift
in the mail is to notify via phone or email that you
have received the gift. |
With
a new baby at home it might be difficult to immediately send
out handwritten thank you notes and most people will understand,
but a simple call or email to inform them that you received
the gift will be most appreciated.
Having been in the gift business for over five years, our company
receives numerous emails and phone calls each week from customers
wanting to verify that a gift we sent on their behalf has been
received. Some go so far as to ask us to phone the recipient
because they are too embarrassed and don’t want the new mom
or dad to feel bad for not thanking them sooner.
After the thank you phone call or email, a follow up handwritten
card in the mail within a month or so will also let the person
know that you appreciate the gesture. Take another step by adding
a photo of the newborn with the gift incorporated in the photo.
The handwritten note should include first and foremost a line
of appreciation for the thoughtfulness of the time and energy
taken to select a gift for your baby. It should then be followed
by a description of the gift itself and how helpful, cute,
useful or original the gift may be. Let the gift giver know
that you’d
love for them to meet the baby in person and thank them again
for their generosity. The closing signature from you personally
is appropriate.
Here is an example of a quick, thoughtful note:
Dear Jane,
Thank you so much helping us welcome Baby Jack into the world.
We just love the new bib, burp & blanket gift set . These
personalized treasures will come in handy at every phase. Thank
you again for thinking of us. We hope you can meet Baby Jack
in person soon.
Love, Julie
Technology is a convenient time-saver for a new parent, but
nothing compares to reciprocating the kindness of a friend or
family member with a handwritten thank note.
