First, start with a simple thank you for the specific gift. For example, “Thank you so much for the beautiful vase, I’ve been looking for something like that”. Then, if you want, you can mention how you plan to use the generous gift or how happy it made you. For example, “I can’t wait to fill it with lovely flowers from the garden”.
Finally, end with another thank you and perhaps some words about how much you’re new home. Your friends and family will be touched that you took the time to write a personal thank you note, and it will make their day knowing that their gift brought you happiness.
