Before typing out that formal thank you (which is also okay) take some time to say something that makes it clear that their efforts are appreciated. So when you want to do this, and come up short of words to express what a gift, gesture or favour means to you, you can always turn to this list.

Yes. Every personalised message is always the best. That being said, sometimes we need a little inspiration to point us in the direction that feels right for us.

A personalised message of appreciation can start with a sentiment and then include an element that makes it your own. Perhaps the sentiment is a memory shared between you and the intended recipient, maybe it's an inside joke. Whatever sentiment you choose to include in the message, don't forget to leave love on the edges of it.

Remember, there's no expiration to gratitude so you don't have to rush to send a thank you message immediately after receiving a gift, favour, or gesture.
