Make the sentiment really special by telling them specifically how they’ve brightened your day. Don’t be afraid to have some fun or admit how excited you are to use their gift!

Every person, whether rich or poor, old or young, needs attention. For some, this consists in daily, and sometimes hourly care, for someone - in a simple telephone conversation or a postcard, and for some, just a supportive smile is enough. I want to express my gratitude to you for your attention. I'm lucky to have you around. Your heart is sensitive and kind. Let soulfulness add beauty and harmony to your days. Let there be no trials in fate, and the reward in the form of prosperity, health and happiness will not keep you waiting. And remember: you can always count on my time, communication and attention.

To choose the optimal phrase, it will be sufficient to soberly assess the circumstances in which you are and the “scale” of the service provided to you. The following recommendations will help you choose the best phrase in case of difficulty.

  1. If you have been rendered a small service (for example: passing a salad bowl to the other end of the table at dinner, holding an object, pouring tea, etc.), such phrases as: “You are very kind!” will suffice! or “Very kind of you”, “Thank you”, “You are very helpful. Much obliged!". In such cases, by giving thanks for a long time, you can make the recipient feel awkward.
  2. If you have been rendered a significant service or a small one, but very valuable for you (or if a person has spent personal time and / or any other resources) - this deserves more emotional gratitude than a dry “Thank you!”. Choose warm phrases containing a compliment, expressing not only gratitude, but also delight. So you will let the addressee (the one to whom you address the words) feel his significance and demonstrate not only politeness, but also the ability to appreciate other people's efforts (made in your interests), leave pleasant impressions / memories about yourself (for example: “I am infinitely grateful for the help , because you had to spend the day off. How can I thank you?").
  3. If you need to respond with words of gratitude for a gift/souvenir/award/congratulation - choose enthusiastic phrases, and/or containing a compliment/praise. In such cases, not only your courtesy is important to the addressee, but also the assessment of his efforts / costs / choice / care. Appropriate phrases would be: “You made my day!”, “Infinitely grateful for such a choice - this is really what I need most right now”, etc.
  4. If you work in the service sector and helped (recommended something) to the client, and he accepted your advice - in response to his “thank you”, you also have the opportunity to thank (the following expression is appropriate: “I am grateful that they accepted my recommendations”). So you part with the client mutually grateful to each other.
  5. Phrases such as “I will be glad to return the favor!”, “I am obliged!”, “Infinitely touched!” and others like them - already (in terms of meaning) contain gratitude and do not require additional explanations. The recipient will understand that you are grateful and avoid a simple “thank you”, you want to convey the depth of your feelings. However, if this seems insufficient to you, then to any phrase from the list you can add a request (to the addressee) to contact you in the future for help / return service. The purpose of such a request is to make it clear that your gratitude is not just words, but also a willingness to “pay in kind” (for example: “Kowtow for not leaving me in a difficult situation. Feel free to contact me for help at any time !").
  6. If you want your words to be remembered, determine what is most pleasant for the addressee: compliments, appreciation of their efforts or the opportunity to have support (in your person) in the future.
