33 Thank You Note For A Vacation or Trip Messages

Writing a thank-you note is one way to show appreciation for a vacation or trip. Of course, what you write in a thank you card to say thank you for a vacation will vary.

• Are you thanking someone for taking you on vacation?
• Do you want to thank the friend who organized an amazing trip?
• Are you an adult thanking your parents for covering the cost of a family vacation?
• Do you want to say thank you for a wonderful trip to friends? 

Below is my template for a vacation thank you note followed by many thank you messages. 

Thank You Note For a Vacation or Trip Template

You can write a handwritten thank you note, send an email, or write a text message. Here is a template for writing a thank you note for a vacation.

Since the reason you are saying thank you for a vacation can vary so much, please be sure to read through the examples. It’s hard to put every possible scenario into one template!

[1] Dear [Person’s Name],

[2] Thank you for the [great/awesome/another adjective] vacation. I/We enjoyed the sights and activities (in your note, be specific about what you enjoyed). And I/We are grateful for the wonderful memories we made together. [Thank you for covering the costs of the flights, meals, hotel, etc. – if applicable], which made it possible [easier] for me/us to go on the trip.

[3] Sincerely,

[4] [Your Name]

Template notes

[1] The Greeting. You can also remove the Dear and start with the person’s name or choose another salutation, such as Hello.

[2] The Thank You. Write a short thank you message. Share a favorite vacation memory and include compliments. Customize the message based on why you are saying thank you for the vacation. See the examples below for inspiration.

[3] The Closing. Other closings could be Thanks Again, Kind Regards, or Warm Regards.

[4] Your Name. Remember to sign your name!

If you send a text message, you probably do not need to start with a greeting, and you can remove the closing and your name. Text messages are generally more casual than a written notecard.

A handwritten note will feel more personal and could be sent in the mail or handed to the person.  I like the idea of purchasing note cards on vacation that can be used for thank you cards upon your return. You can also review my guide for choosing a note card.  

A trip and a vacation are sometimes synonyms, although their definitions differ. You can read an opinion on the difference between a vacation and a trip here . For the example thank-you messages, I will not be too technical about their meaning. Instead, I will use vacation and trip as time away from your normal daily life.

If you’d like to thank someone for the vacation gift (along with a thank you note!), please review the list of thank you gift ideas . For example, a framed photo from the vacation might make for the perfect gift.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You: Message to Friends for a Trip

In March 2011, I was shipwrecked while traveling in Indonesia . Once I was back in the States, I felt an overwhelming urge to thank the many people who offered help.

It also made me realize how important it is to send a thank you message to friends for a trip — whether your trip went perfectly or you had some bumps in the road. 

The shipwreck, and the days that followed, were awful. I was blown away by the kindness and generosity of everyone who donated money. The kind donations brought me to tears — and helped me quickly replace my computer, clothing and toiletries.  I cannot tell you how moved I was by all the private messages as well.

Having this experience made me realize how valuable it is to have friends, family and a blogging community that support me in my travels. 

How Do You Say Thank You for a Wonderful Trip?

While my shipwreck was far from wonderful, there were so many generous, thoughtful people I wanted to thank in the aftermath. No matter what happens, there’s always a reason to send a thank you message for a trip. 

You can send a simple thank you message via text, mail a card, or even deliver a small gift. 

If something went wrong and someone helped you out, be sure to thank them in a personal way. Calling or thanking them face to face is best. 

If someone let you stay in their home, a small gift might be in order. They saved you a lot of money!

Did a friend or family member go out of their way to meet up with you while you were in their area? Thank them for their time and make sure they know you appreciate them.

Maybe you want to send a thank you to the people who joined you on your trip. It can be hard to travel with others, so thank them for all the fun and memories.

You might want to send a holiday thank you message to someone who hosted a special dinner or celebration. 

Another way to say thank you for a wonderful trip is to use one of the quotes below. For a unique thank you idea, print one of the messages on a photo from your vacation!

Thank You For the Trip Quotes

Following is a list of thank you messages to friends or family that you can copy, tweak to your situation, and send:

“Thank you for the fun times and incredible memories. I will cherish them forever.”

“It was wonderful visiting with you. Each moment was such a joy, and I’m looking forward to the next time we see each other. Thank you so much!”

“Thank you for making my trip absolute perfection! This trip was amazing because of you.”

“Thank you for opening your home to me and making me feel like part of the family.”

“Even when time and distance get in the way, we always pick up right where we left off. That’s true friendship. Thank you so much for taking the time to reconnect with me.”

“Traveling with you is unforgettable. Thank you for all the laughter and fun times!”

“Vacationing with you is like being wrapped in a favorite blanket. You bring so much comfort, joy, and laughter. I’ll always treasure our times together.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for going out of your way to meet up with me while I was visiting your area! Seeing you brightened my day and my trip. I hope to see you again soon.”

“It was so fantastic to catch up with you! Although we may not see each other as often as we’d like, distance is no match for the bond that we share.”

“Thank you so much for supporting me and coming along on my crazy adventures. It’s wonderful to have a friend like you that I can count on.”

Thank You Gifts for a Trip

If someone brought you on a special trip, it’s nice to give them a thank you gift to share your appreciation. Here are some good ideas for gifts to thank someone for a trip:

Flowers. Flowers are a beautiful way to show thanks for a gift. I recommend ordering from 1-800-Flowers because they have a huge selection at different price points and deliver throughout the US.

(One note: does your recipient have pets? Make sure your bouquet contains no toxic flowers to dogs and cats. Avoid lillies, tulips, daffodils, and poinsettias. Instead, some flowers safe for both cats and dogs are roses, gerbera daisies, sunflowers, orchids, petunias, and freesia.)

A killer charcuterie board. One of my friends sent me and my fiancé a charcuterie board to congratulate us on our engagement, and it was the best gift ever! Boarderie delivers fantastic artisanal charcuterie boards featuring cheese, meat, and nuts, candied figs, gourmet hot peppers and more!

And if you need more convincing — Boarderie were on Shark Tank and they’re even one of Oprah’s favorite things! They ship overnight throughout the US.

Fruit bouquets. How about a beautiful selection of fruit, cut up and arranged like a floral bouquet? FruitBouquets.com has a great collection of thank you gifts. Think chocolate covered strawberries that look like ladybugs or bumblebees, pineapple cut into flowers or butterflies, and fruit and candy specialties that are as delicious as they are beautiful.

(One tip — avoid fruit bouquets with grapes if your recipient has pets. Grapes are toxic to both dogs and cats.)

A nice bottle of alcohol. If your recipient drinks, a nicer-than-average bottle of wine or spirits makes a lovely gift. A bottle of champagne is always a great choice, in my book! I recommend getting something a little bit nicer than what people would ordinarily buy for themselves.

How to do this? The easiest way is to order directly from their local liquor store with Drizly .

A handwritten note. Sending a beautiful thank you note is something that you can treasure forever. I suggest investing in some nice stationery — this affordable Japanese watercolor stationery paper set will make a gorgeous impact on top of your kind words.

Special Thanks From Me to You

To my friends from travel: Thank you for more fun times than I ever could have imagined. I will always look back at the memories with such happiness. 

Thank you to my family, who is always there for me and respects me for going after my dreams – even when I put them through a lot of worry. 

Thank you to the people who opened their homes to me, as well as the friends from home who kept me up to date on hometown news.

Thank you to the travel blogging community for your visits, your comments, your promotion, your tips, your contacts, and more! I’m happy to be part of such a wonderful community! And thank you to my sponsors for making so many of my adventures possible, and bringing my site to a new audience.

There are a few individuals I’d like to single out.

To Adam — thank you for finding my Moleskine diary on Koh Chang, holding onto it as you traveled through Laos, and returning it to me in Bangkok, without even reading it.

To Mike — thank you for talking me off a virtual cliff via gchat on multiple occasions.  You saved me from self-destruction.

To Andrea — thank you for quickly squashing the family rumor that “the baby on board” who survived the shipwreck was my own.  My dad has fewer gray hairs because of you.

To Beth — thank you for not hesitating to call me in Indonesia when I was unable to Skype.  It means more than you know.

And to everyone who helped me recoup my losses post-shipwreck — your generosity has touched me forever.

Much love, Kate

How to Write the Perfect Thank You Note for Your Travel Tour Guide

Travel Tips

Marcus Shen

Content writer

August 30, 2023

Going on a guided tour can be an amazing experience. A knowledgeable tour guide can really enhance your trip by providing context, stories, and insider information that allows you to get so much more out of visiting a new place. If you've just gotten back from a fantastic tour, one of the best ways to express your appreciation is to write your tour guide a thoughtful thank you note.

Today, we'll explore why taking the time to thank your tour guide is so important, provide tips for writing the perfect thank you message, and include thank you note examples and templates you can use. After reading, you'll know exactly how to craft a meaningful note to show your tour guide how much you appreciated their time and effort.

Why Send a Thank You Note to Your Tour Guide?

With how hectic life can be today, it's easy to move on from a great experience like a guided tour without expressing your gratitude. But taking just a few minutes to say thank you to your tour guide is so worthwhile, for several reasons:

• It's a thoughtful way to show your appreciation. Tour guides work hard to plan and lead great tours. Thanking them will make them feel valued.
• It can encourage great service in the future. Your note may inspire your guide to continue providing such excellent tours for future travelers.
• It can help future travelers. Many guides proudly display thank you notes. Your kind words might sway other travelers to take a tour with that guide.
• It's good karma. Expressing gratitude leaves both you and your tour guide feeling happy and fulfilled.
• It stands out. In an age of rushed communication, a handwritten thank you card or letter makes a big impression.
• It may get you perks. Some tour companies reward guides for getting great customer feedback. Your note could lead to the guide getting a reward that motivates them even more.
• It's simply the right thing to do. When someone does something nice for you, you should say thanks. It's common courtesy.

In short, taking a few minutes to write a thoughtful thank you note gives your tour guide a valued token of appreciation while also spreading positivity. So don't skip this gesture - you'll be glad you made the effort.

How to Write the Perfect Thank You Note

While thank you notes take just a little time, composing one that really makes an impact does require forethought and effort. Follow these tips to craft the ideal thank you message for your tour guide:

1. Send it soon after your tour

To maximize the delight your note causes, send it soon after your tour ends while everything is still fresh in your mind. Shooting a quick email from the airport or writing a card from your hotel room lets your excitement and gratitude come through. If a little time has passed, just explain you've been meaning to write since you got home.

2. Use a handwritten card or letter when possible

In today's digital world, a handwritten thank you card or letter stands out - and shows you were willing to take the time to write a thoughtful message. It also makes keeping and displaying the note easier for your guide. If sending a handwritten note isn't realistic, an email is still appreciated.

3. Start by thanking them directly for the tour

Begin your note by directly thanking your guide for the excellent tour they provided. If you can, refer to them by name. Some examples:

• Thank you so much for the fantastic tour of Charleston yesterday, Lee!
• Hannah, I just wanted to thank you for the incredible tour through the Hermitage Museum.
• Marco, thank you for providing such an amazing tour of Rome for our group last week!

Starting with a direct thank you sets a grateful tone from the beginning.

4. Mention a few specific things you appreciated

Go beyond a generic thank you by mentioning one or two things your guide did that really enhanced your experience. Did they share great stories? Help you discover hidden gems? Make key sightseeing arrangements? Mentioning a few specifics makes your note more meaningful.

5. Share the impact the tour had on you

Letting your guide know about the difference their tour made gives them a sense of purpose. You might explain how much you learned, how your experiences were deepened, or how they brought a destination to life for you. Be specific about the moments and sights that really made an impression.

6. Say you’ll recommend them in the future

It means a lot to guides to know you’ll recommend them to friends and family if they ever visit the same place. Saying you'd book another tour with them or request them again next time reassures them about the great job they did.

7. Add a memorable quote or fun memory

Did your guide say something funny or have an insightful quote that stuck with you? Including a quote or fun memory from your time together personalizes your note and reminds them of the rapport you built. Just a sentence or two creates a nice touch.

8. Close with a final gracious statement

End your thank you letter on another grateful note, perhaps expressing hope you’ll travel together again or that they’ll continue enlightening travelers. Some closing examples:

• Thanks again for everything! You're fantastic at what you do.
• I’m so grateful we had you as our guide. You made the trip unforgettable!
• I hope our paths cross again sometime. All the best!

With a thoughtful closing sentence, you can wrap up your note warmly and memorably.

Thank You Note Examples and Templates

Reading sample thank you notes can help spark ideas for your own message. Here are a few thank you card examples you could adapt:

Dear James,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you for the wonderful tour of Berlin you provided us last week. Thanks to your vast knowledge of the city and passion for sharing it, our family got so much more out of our time there. I especially appreciated learning the history behind so many of the sights and hearing your stories about growing up in the city.

Our favorite memory was when you arranged for us to meet that street artist in the East Side Gallery and see him working on adding to the wall. That made such an impression on the kids and was something we never would have experienced without you. Please know we’ll be recommending your tours to anyone we know visiting Berlin in the future! You really made our trip extraordinary.

With gratitude, Alice

Hey Amanda!

I'm back home from the amazing long weekend in New Orleans you showed us around. I just had to take a minute to properly thank you for the spectacular tour. Your knowledge of the food scene totally made the trip - Anthony and I definitely would've missed out on all those incredible restaurants without your guidance! Plus, your stories about the city's history brought everything to life for us in a way we never could've gotten from a normal tour.

Thanks for making what could've been just another weekend getaway into a truly unforgettable New Orleans experience. We'll be suggesting your tours to anyone we know heading your way. Please keep doing what you do so well!

Gratefully, Jane

What an absolute pleasure it was exploring Yosemite with you this past weekend! Thank you immensely for serving as our guide and introducing us to the wonders of the park.

Your passion for Yosemite came through in every fascinating story and trail recommendation. Thanks to you, our hike up to Vernal Falls became a history lesson, nature walk, and photography class all rolled into one. And you didn't just show us the popular sights - those hidden gems like the wildflower meadow and glacier-carved valleys made this trip so special.

We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, patient, and caring guide to make our Yosemite adventure everything we hoped for. I'll be sure to request you next time I visit the park and will spread the word about your excellent tours.

Warmly, Brandon

Remember the Importance of Thanking Your Guide

The tips and examples above should help you craft a thoughtful, memorable note your tour guide will genuinely appreciate receiving. While it's easy to forget, taking just a few minutes to write a thank you card or email after your trip wraps up is such a considerate gesture with so many benefits.

Beyond expressing your personal gratitude, thanking great guides helps encourage exceptional service for future travelers as well. Remembering the effort your guide put into making your tour special and letting them know you appreciate it is the right thing to do. Plus, imagining their smile when reading your gratitude will surely make your day brighter as well.

So next time you take an amazing tour, be sure not to miss the opportunity to send your guide a heartfelt thank you message. The little time this takes is repaid manifold in goodwill - for your guide, the tour company, and the whole travel industry. The end result of brighter days for both you and your guide is well worth it.

How to write a heartfelt appreciation message to a friend, colleague, or anyone.

Saying thank you when someone has done you a good turn is not a lost art in the 21st century. The words "thank you" are still two of the most powerful words we can use to convey appreciation to another person, and sending an appreciation message remains one of the best ways to truly let someone know you are grateful for what they have done for you.

But sometimes, beyond just the "thank you," it is hard to find the right words to use in an appreciation message. Here's some expert advice on creative ways to send appreciation messages in different situations and for different recipients.

Writing an appreciation message.

An appreciation message can be any expression of gratitude or thanks, from a simple note sent by email to an ornate card with a handwritten letter delivered in the mail. As family strategist and coach Sonya Belleti, LCSW , explains, people often send appreciation messages after receiving a gift, to thank someone for showing up for them (such as to a wedding or funeral), or to help stand out after a job interview.

"An appreciation message is one way to let someone know how much you appreciate them for what they have done for you," licensed clinical social worker and health coach Sarah Brown, LCSW , tells mbg. "It is so important to show appreciation to others, and sometimes giving an appreciation message can go a long way."

Brown notes that appreciation messages can be meaningful to send out to truly anyone who has affected you personally: "Think, hairstylist, child care worker, personal trainer, coach, mentor, etc. They can also be used for colleagues and for your team if you are in a leadership role in a work setting."

The great thing about writing appreciation messages, Belleti adds, is that they benefit the giver as much as the receiver. "When we are writing a true heartfelt appreciation message, we tap into gratitude, which is always great for lifting our spirits as well as the recipient," she explains. "Appreciation messages don't always need to be big gestures to be impactful. Expressing gratitude to someone makes a person feel seen and affirms that their efforts were noticed and appreciated."

"The benefit of living in the digital age is, with only a few keystrokes and the tap of a button, we can immediately reach out to everyone we want to thank," says Belleti. "The method of outreach depends on your relationship with the recipient."

Some options to consider:

• Text: A simple text message can be a quick, casual, yet meaningful way to show your appreciation to someone. Belleti and Brown both note this method may be more appropriate for personal settings, such as to a friend or acquaintance.
• Phone call: Telephone calls can be a quick and effective way to thank someone. According to Brown, this is probably most appropriate with a friend or family member. Belleti adds that it can be a nice option for someone you're trying to build a deeper friendship with.
• Email: Email can be a great way to send a note of thanks in a professional manner or to teachers or any other helping professionals that you want to show some love to, says Brown. Email thank-you notes are also appropriate after an interview, Belleti adds.
• Card: Cards show you have put some effort and thought into thanking a person, says Brown. Although a small token of thanks, it will still be much appreciated by the receiver.
• Gifts: Giving a gift can be a way of showing appreciation and, although not showing it with words, can be an act of kindness that can go a long way, according to Brown. Oftentimes for those who do selfless acts, they may need some encouragement to practice self-care. Sending a thank-you message in the form of a gift can be a wonderful way to show your appreciation. "Gift baskets are also wonderful if they are curated to the recipient's likes," Belleti adds.
• In person: Expressing appreciation for someone in person may be harder for some people, especially if you feel awkward expressing thanks and if the receiver struggles with attention and/or recognition. However, that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be done, according to Brown. In-person appreciation messages can be incorporated in speeches, introductions, and other formal ways in a public setting, and it can also be as intimate as telling someone one-on-one that you appreciate them.

Examples of appreciation messages.

Below, our expert shares examples of great appreciation messages. "The best appreciation messages are personalized," Belleti notes, so make sure to customize your message to the specific person you're writing to and your specific relationship.

Appreciation messages for a friend.

Friends are important people in our lives, so it is important to let them know what they mean to us and to show gratitude and appreciation for the things they do for us. "The key to writing appreciation to friends is to be specific about what you are grateful for," Belleti says.

Some examples:

• "Thank you for showing up for me. Your presence made my day even more special."
• "This ___ outfit you gave for my baby is so adorable. I will be sure to send pictures when they wear it."
• "Thank you for coming over after my _____ passed. It meant a lot to have your support."
• "Thank you for your kindness and support over the last few weeks. Your friendship means the world to me, and you were such a big part of me moving and growing through this period."
• "Thank you for being a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on when I have needed it the most."
• "Thank you for being there for me, making me feel supported and cared for."
• "Thank you for being my friend!"

Appreciation messages for a family member.

Many times, and in many cases, we expect and assume our family will do things for us when we need them to and that they will show up for us. Because of this, it is even more important that we show gratitude to them so they don't feel taken for granted.

• "Thank you for always supporting me even when it is not easy to do."
• "Thank you for your support and for seeing me through all the many life challenges I have experienced."
• "Your wisdom, kindness, and strength has carried me through many challenging times. Thank you for always being there."
• "Thank you for your help with the move. I appreciate the time and help you gave me!"
• "I wanted to thank you for always being there for me. It means so very much."
• "To show my appreciation for all of you, I'm going to cook you all dinner for us to eat together!"
• "I appreciate you always having my back."
• "The help you gave me was so important. I am lucky to have such a supportive family."

Professional appreciation messages for a boss or colleague. 

Sending appreciation messages to a boss or colleague can be a little tricky because it is important to strike the right tone. However, a well-written appreciation message can go a long way toward building positive relationships with your co-workers. Writing an appreciation message is also an opportunity to give colleagues credit for their contributions and to receive deserved recognition.

• "Thank you for taking the time to teach me about ____. Your mentorship and support have not gone unnoticed, and I am appreciative of the opportunities presented to learn and grow from you."
• "Thank you for having my back. It's people like you who make this company a wonderful place to work."
• "Thank you so much for your help on this project. I couldn't have done it without you."
• "Thank you for your valuable contributions to the team."
• "I remain impressed by your ability to inspire everyone on the team to do their best."
• "Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this project. Your belief in me and my ability to get the job done helped me to give my best."
• "Through your mentorship, I have learned a lot. You have helped me to learn and apply new skills and knowledge. I appreciate the time you have taken to teach me and develop my potential."
• "Thank you for helping me reach my personal and professional goals. I enjoy working with you and appreciate the opportunities you have given me."
• "Thank you for always pushing me to be my best. I am so lucky to have such a great boss."

Professional appreciation messages to send your team. 

Working as a team is an essential part of the modern-day workplace. Typically, you collaborate intensively with the team, and your success or failure rests on the individual contributions of your team members. Therefore, it is important to recognize the contributions of team members, so they know their work is seen and appreciated.

• "Thank you for being such a valuable asset to our team/company."
• "Thank you for stepping up when the team needed you the most."
• "Hey team, I don't know how we would have gotten through this project without each of you giving it your all. Your commitment to doing good work is an asset to this organization, and I appreciate each and every one of you."
• "Finishing this project would not have been possible without your hard work and positivity throughout. You truly embody the meaning of teamwork. Thank you!"
• "Thanks for your hard work, team. Because of your efforts, this company has achieved a new milestone."
• "I wasn't sure if we would have managed to beat the deadline without each of your efforts. We did it! Thank you for your good work!"
• "This is a great job. Thank you for all your effort and positive thinking. You have made this organization be recognized."
• "The mark of an effective team is one that pushes everyone's individual work to another level. Thanks for doing just that and for being a great team!"
• "Thank you for always being there for each other. You're the best team that I have ever worked with."

Appreciation messages for a teacher.

Teachers are some of the most hardworking and dedicated professionals in the workplace. Unfortunately, they are often one of the most overlooked in terms of receiving recognition and praise for their contributions. Sending an appreciation message or thank you can go a long way toward letting them know you appreciate their work and commitment. When writing an appreciation message for a teacher or educator, Belleti advises, "It is great to share a specific fond memory of highlight of something that was impactful during the school year."

• "Thank you for inspiring me to be the best version of myself. You are greatly appreciated."
• "Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone and toward being the best version of myself."
• "Thank you for sharing your time and talent. Without you, we wouldn't have been what we are today. I can't find the right words to convey our gratitude except to say thank you."
• "Great teachers are great because they find a way to bring out the best in their students. You are one of the greats, and I wanted you to know that. Thank you for everything."
• "Most kids need someone to believe in them, someone to offer them hope, and a little help from time to time. You helped us, believed in us, and helped nurture and grow our hope. The world needs teachers like you, and we are so grateful for you. Thank you."
• "Dear X, your patience with finding a teaching method that worked for me helped me excel in class this year. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the tools for success."
• "A truly amazing teacher is a treasure to find, hard to part with, and impossible to forget. The influence of a good teacher lasts a lifetime. I will always remember you and will always be grateful to you."
• "Thank you for encouraging me when things seemed impossible, mentoring me when I was lost, strengthening my confidence when it felt like no one was there for me. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and to thank you for being there for me when I needed someone the most."

Tips to keep in mind:

Be specific..

People can tell when they're receiving a routine thank-you note sent simply for social graces, Belleti notes. So, if you're going to send a note, she recommends really focusing on trying to be specific in your message and really gear it toward each individual.

"Whatever the occasion is, be specific, and speak from the heart," she says. "It is important to keep in mind when writing an appreciation message what actions the other person took that you are grateful for and the impact those actions had on you to inspire an appreciation message."

Try to send your appreciation message promptly.

"The best timeline to send an appreciation message is within two to four weeks after an event," says Belleti. "However, it is important to remember that appreciation is not limited by time, so a heartfelt thank you sent later is always appreciated."

Brown concurs—in general, it's never too late to say thank you and show appreciation.

You don't need to write a novel.

A little goes a long way, says Brown. While she recommends being genuine and speaking from the heart, sometimes a succinct and meaningful note is just as impactful as a long-winded one. The old saying is true, she notes: It's the thought that counts.

Validate the recipient.

"In general, an appreciation message is validating to the recipient," says Belleti. "It says, 'I see you, and your actions mattered.'"

The takeaway.

Showing gratitude to someone who has done something for you improves the well-being of not only the recipient but also the sender. Practicing gratitude daily has been proved to have positive psychological, social, and emotional benefits . It helps build thriving and healthy people and societies and improves the quality of one's life.

"When we show appreciation for the small and big things, we are all better for it," says Belleti. "Who doesn't want to know that their actions or words had meaning, and who doesn't want to know they have people who support them? Appreciation opens our heart and is a win-win for everyone involved."

The next time you have a free moment, consider using it to practice gratitude by writing someone special a note of appreciation. You'll probably make their day.

Thank-you messages for gifts

Whatever it is, don't forget to seal it with love.

109 Of The Best Appreciation Messages To Show Your Gratitude

In a time when manners are teetering on the edge of extinction and anxiety is on the rise, it is increasingly important to spend time expressing gratitude.

Focusing on gratitude can negate feelings of resentment and entitlement and foster feelings of positivity.

Studies show that even months after writing a simple appreciation quote or journaling feelings of gratitude, people's brains are still wired to feel especially thankful.

This is because gratitude habits have a self-perpetuating nature.

The more you practice gratitude, the more you can enjoy its many benefits, such as an overall feeling of well-being and happiness.

• Text them to your friend or partner as a midday surprise.

Now you have some ideas about what to include in an appreciation message. But you still may be confused about how to create a message, text, or letter that clearly communicates your feelings.

Here are some points to consider before you sit down to craft your words of appreciation.

• Take a moment to reflect on your gratitude and appreciation so you are in touch with these feelings as you write.
• Think about what the recipient would most like to hear — what would be the most meaningful.
• Put your message into your own words so it sounds sincere and heartfelt .
• Try to mention specifics rather than just offering sweeping words of thanks.
• If you decide to include a quote, find one that supports what you've said in your own words. Don't use the quote alone to communicate your gratitude.
• Acknowledge even the smallest acts of kindness and effort on your behalf. Don't allow small gifts to go unnoticed.

No matter how you write your words of thanks, remember that the one who receives it will have moment of joy in their day because of you. Just knowing that you will put a smile on their face is enough to inspire you to write the perfect message.

I hope you found the quotes and messages in this list that provide just the words you need to express your feelings .

If you want to share words of gratitude to someone in a unique way, write them a note of appreciation that memorializes the way you feel.

You can use the messages and quotes as prompts for ideas you write yourself, or you can copy them directly in your letter, card, or email and add some of your own words to make the message more personal.

If nothing else, here's hoping these messages of appreciation will inspire you to savor all of the good things and people in your life.

Rather than dwelling on negativity, problems, or lack, allow the blessings in your life to occupy your thoughts more often. And express your gratitude to those around you more often.

Your sense of gratitude of others not only lifts up the people you appreciate but it also makes you feel happier and more confident.

Why not leave a little note of appreciation for someone you care about today?

Gratitude messages: what to write in an appreciation card.

Most of us have written thank-you notes expressing gratitude for a gift, a meal, or a favor. These are the special-occasion gestures we’ve been trained to deem thank-you-worthy.

What we don’t tend to notice or say thank you for as often are the ongoing, faithful acts of service happening around us and for us every day. People like teachers, barbers, dog walkers and mail carriers are absolutely worthy of our gratitude for doing what they do day in and day out. And we don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas to thank them.

Simple Thanks  

Here are some short but heartfelt messages of gratitude that could go to someone in just about any profession.

• “Thanks for doing what you do!”
• “You are appreciated for all you do. Thank you so much.”
• “The work you do is important and so appreciated.”
• “Sending a little heartfelt appreciation your way today!”
• “Just wanted to express our deep gratitude for the dedicated work you do day after day.”
• “For all you do—and for the kind, thoughtful way you do it—thank you.”
• “We could never take for granted the hard work you do. We see it, and we appreciate you.”
• “Thank you for your friendly, dependable service through every season.”
• “Thank you for going the extra mile for all of us who depend on you. I simply couldn’t be more grateful.”

Pro Tip: A short-and-simple thank-you message can be especially perfect when you don’t know your recipient well and/or when you prefer to let an accompanying gift, treat, or gift card express some of your gratitude for you.

Compliments  

Everybody likes to hear now and then that they’re good at what they do. A sincere compliment is a great way to take your appreciation up a notch.

• “Has anyone told you lately that you’re great at what you do? Well, you are, and it’s appreciated!”
• “It’s easy to see how much you care about the people you serve. I’m grateful to be one of them.”
• “You go above and beyond daily. But here lately, you’ve been going above-er and beyond-er. Thank you!”
• “You’re someone who makes a difference every day. So grateful.”
• “Thank you. Your commitment and professionalism mean more than you know.”
• “When I follow Mr. Rogers’ advice and look for the helpers in this world, I see you and the work you’re doing. Thank you.”
• “Never doubt the difference you make. It’s huge—and so is the gratitude in this little note.”
• “It’s a good feeling knowing there are caring, capable people like you working hard for everyone around you. Thank you for all you do!”

Pro Tip: Some helpers may balk at being called “heroic” for what they see as simply doing their jobs. It may actually mean more to them if you describe them as good, great, capable, competent, caring, committed, dedicated, devoted, expert, excellent, hardworking, kind, professional, reliable, smart, or something similarly down-to-earth.

Teacher/Educator  

Anytime we get a glimpse into what teachers do on a daily basis, a couple of things become clear: 1) They really care, and 2) They should be getting paid like rock stars. Until that second thing happens, we can at least make a point of expressing our gratitude for them.

• “Just sending a big thank-you to one of our favorite teachers today. Thank you for doing what you do!”
• “You’re an outstanding teacher, and you’re appreciated. Just wanted you to hear that today!”
• “Thank you for being a teacher. Clearly, you were meant to do it!”
• “I’m so grateful my daughter has the chance to learn from a great teacher like you.”
• “It’s touching to see the heart you have for each one of your kids. Thank you for teaching.”
• “It’s easy to see how much you care about your students. So grateful our Colin is one of them.”
• “We know teaching definitely has its challenges. Thanks for hanging in there with dedication and heart!”
• From younger student: “Thank you for being a nice teacher! I like that you wear purple fingernail polish and never give homework on weekends.”
• From older student: “I’ve learned so much from you. I may not remember it all forever, but I’ll remember the way you cared and the way you inspired me to keep learning.”

Pro Tip: As suggested in the examples above, get kids and teens in on thanking their teachers, counselors, paraprofessionals and other education professionals who help them along their way. It’s good for kids’ development—and it will probably lead to the most memorable and meaningful messages for the educators on the receiving end.

Healthcare Professional  

Nurses, doctors, and other health professionals really do put the “care” in healthcare. Expressions of gratitude can be especially encouraging as they carry out their critical and often stressful work.

• “Just a friendly reminder that you’re an excellent doctor doing much-needed and much-appreciated work. Thank you!”
• “The people you’re caring for are in great hands. Thanks for doing what you do.”
• “Your expert caring makes lives better. I know because mine is one of them!”
• “Thank you for being a nurse. You’re an amazing one.”
• “It’s a good feeling knowing there are experienced, capable doctors like you out there. Thank you for being there with expertise and caring for the people who need you.”
• “Sending heartfelt thanks for the dedicated work you do as a nurse.”
• “Most of the time, I’m exaggerating when I call someone ‘a lifesaver,’ but in your case, it happens to be accurate. Thank you for saving and improving lives every day!”
• “Being a nurse can be tough, but you’ve risen to the occasion with courage and strength. So grateful for you and the important work you’re doing.”

Pro Tip: Remember the counselors, psychiatrists, or mental health professionals you may know, too. Their health work is often lower profile but still critical and worth recognizing with a message of gratitude.

Veterinarians, Groomers, Sitters and Walkers  

The people who take care of our pets are truly special. Without them, owning a pet—and experiencing that one-of-a-kind love—might not even be possible. Sharing a small note of thanks lets them know what a big role they play in your life.  

• “You treat [Bella] like she’s your own, and we’re so grateful for that.”
• “Thank you so much for taking such good care of [Jack]. You make enjoying his love paws-ible!”
• “I know grooming [Dexter] can be a challenge. I’m so glad I can feel confident about leaving him in your expert, caring hands.”
• “With everything our family has going on, the time and attention you give [Cairo] is such a blessing.”
• “We’re so grateful for the dedication you show to keeping [Sammie] a happy, healthy member of our family.”
• “Every time [Charlie] comes to see you, he leaves feeling so happy. Thank you for the compassionate service you provide!”

Pro Tip: Have a little fun and add a cute PS. from your fur-kid. A note like “Sorry I squirm so much during baths” acknowledges the effort required to take care of your pet but in a way that’s likely to make them smile.  

Mail Carrier  

It’s customary to thank mail carriers during the holiday season, but the work they do is year-round, and our thanks can be, too.

• “Just a little out-of-the-blue thank-you for my favorite mail carrier.”
• “You’re appreciated! Thanks for always delivering.”
• “It means a lot having a mail carrier as friendly and dependable as you. So glad we’ve got you to count on.”
• “Your reliable service always means a lot. Thank you for the work you do.”
• “TO: One outstanding mail carrier…FROM: One grateful mail recipient…THANK YOU!”
• “Thank you for all the smiles you deliver.”
• “Even bills are a little easier to take coming from a nice mail carrier like you. Thanks!”
• “You probably know some weird things about us based on our mail. Thanks for not judging…and for the important work you do!”

Pro Tip: If you’ve got sidewalk or driveway near your mailbox, you could put your artistic skills to work and sidewalk-chalk your message of thanks.

Stylist, Barber or Aesthetician  

Being a stylist or aesthetician can be a demanding job. So it’s always a nice idea to give your best to the people who help you look your best—and maybe throw in an extra-large tip sometimes, too.

• “I always walk in here knowing that I’m going to walk out feeling so good about myself. You do that. And I’m so grateful.”
• “Thanks for always helping me look like I have it all together, haha.”
• “You’ve seen my hair at its worst, but you never fail to make me feel my best. Thank you so much.”
• “Every compliment I get on my [hair/nails/skin] is thanks to your years of training and amazing talent.”
• “Your warmth and professionalism are why I keep coming back. I hope you never leave!”
• “My [hair/nails/skin] has/have never looked so good. I’m so incredibly glad I found you!”

Pro Tip: Stylists and aestheticians are on their feet a lot of the day. A nice gift idea might be a foot massage or pedicure of their own!  

Retail Worker  

All of us count on the dependable employees who keep grocery and hardware stores, pharmacies, and other busy retailers running smoothly. Your message of thanks to them can be a bright spot in the middle of a stressful workday.

• “I hope you know just how grateful your customers are for you.”
• “The work you’re doing isn’t easy, but it’s so needed and appreciated. Thank you.”
• “Thank you for your cheerful service. Your friendliness makes my day every time I shop here.”
• “Thanks for showing up and doing good work every day like it’s no big deal. It actually IS a big deal, and you’re appreciated for it.”
• “Thank you for making a point of telling us about the Wednesday sales. It’s nice knowing you’re looking out for us. We hope you’re looking out and taking good care of yourself, too.”
• “Thank you for going above and beyond to provide great customer service. All of you are truly appreciated.”
• “So grateful our neighborhood grocery store is staffed by the best and friendliest employees anywhere. Y’all are the best, and we’re grateful for each one of you!”

Pro Tip: If you know your recipient’s name, address your message to them: “Hi, JoAnn—” or “Dear Mr. Jones.” If not, get creative: “To my favorite cashier:” or “Dear 95th Street Hy-Vee Team,” etc.

Restaurant or Delivery Worker  

After being good and eating in for days on end, takeout can be such a treat. But that deliciousness doesn’t happen magically. It takes a dedicated team to prep, cook, package, and get it to your car window or front door—and that calls for a thank-you.

• “We hope you’re staying safe out there. Thanks for taking care of us!”
• “You have no idea how much happiness you’re delivering with every takeout bag. Thank you for keeping the goodness coming!”
• “Original Pizza night is pretty much like Christmas Day around here. Thank you for continuing to serve up the best.”
• “Just wanted to tell you what a highlight your new Friday family specials are. We look forward to them all week. Thank you!”
• “Thanks for delivering the good stuff. You’re so dependable—and fast! It’s appreciated.”
• “You’re serving more than food—it’s comfort and family fun. Thank you for that!”
• “Thank you for the good eats and the great service. You have my loyalty forever!”

Pro Tip: Gratitude for a job well-done is always welcome, but gratitude accompanied by a generous tip is likely even more welcome.

Closing Thoughts  

Who are some of the other helpers and service providers you might want to reach out to with a message of appreciation? Consider spiritual leaders (pastor, priest, rabbi and others), public safety pros (fire and police), home and yard maintenance providers or anyone else who regularly crosses your path and makes life better.

Whomever you’re writing to, you can round out your message with one of these grateful closings…or choose one of your own.

• Warmest thanks,
• With thanks,
• With deepest thanks,
• With heartfelt appreciation,
• With gratitude,
• Gratefully,
• Beyond grateful,
• Feeling thankful,

Live updates, space laser transmission strikes earth from 140 million miles away: nasa.

• View Author Archive
• Get author RSS feed

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

This redefined a long-distance call.

Earth just received a laser transmission from a world- (and perhaps universe) record-breaking 140 million miles away — which could have major implications for the future of space travel.

However, this correspondence wasn’t extraterrestrial in origin: It was actually sent by NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, which is currently located approximately 1.5 times the distance between Earth and the Sun.

“This represents a significant milestone for the project by showing how optical communications can interface with a spacecraft’s radio frequency comms system,” Meera Srinivasan, the project’s operations lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, said in a statement.

This major breakthrough was achieved by using a Psyche feature called Deep Space Optical Communications, or DSOC, one of the droid’s several task per Space.com. Its main directive is exploring 16 Psyche, the $100,000 quadrillion asteroid from which it takes its name.

NASA wanted to show the potential for laser communications to be conducted across interstellar distances, allowing for high bandwidth and a much speedier connection — from 10 to 100 times faster than what’s available today — between humans and the probes they send into space.

This achievement was particularly significant as, along with sending the laser message a record-breaking distance, NASA also managed to transmit actual data gathered from the spacecraft.

“We downlinked about 10 minutes of duplicated spacecraft data,” explained Srinivasan. “Until then, we’d been sending test and diagnostic data in our downlinks from Psyche.”

To wit, in November of last year, Psyche sent back to Earth from 10 million miles away, but it was pre-loaded test data and not any “real” info.

This marked the culmination of a series of messages sent by the probe since it launched on October 13th atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket.

During a prior dry run in December, Psyche beamed data back from 19 million miles away, sending it at the system’s maximum rate of 267 megabits per second.

This correspondence — which included footage of an orange tabby cat named Taters — took around just over a minute and a half to reach earth, which is comparable to broadband internet speeds.

By contrast, this latest DSOC transmission was only 25 megabits. This was due to the fact that Psyche was seven times further away, reducing the speed at which it could send and receive messages.

Despite the comparatively syrupy speed, this nonetheless eclipsed the project’s goal of “proving at least 1 Mbps was possible at that distance,” per the release.

This watershed moment provides a taste of how spacecraft “could use optical communications in support of humanity’s next giant leap: sending humans to Mars,” NASA wrote.

Psyche is slated to fly by the Red Planet by 2026, whereupon it will fly toward its main destination, 16 Psyche, which it should reach by 2029.

Like the early pioneers’ search for the Northwest Passage, it will aim to map out this final frontier El Dorado, which contains enough precious metals to crash the gold market.

Saying the stakes could not be higher, Newsom to speak at Vatican climate summit

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Gov. Gavin Newsom is taking his climate change advocacy overseas next month to the epicenter of Catholicism, where he was invited to speak at a summit of mayors and governors hosted by Pope Francis at the Vatican.

State and local leaders will gather at the summit from May 15 to 17 to discuss the effects of rising temperatures in their communities, with the goal of broadening the conversation from combating climate change to include strategies to adapt to the reality of a warming planet.

Newsom, who aides said will talk about the impact of fire, flood and drought on California, is expected to be one of a few speakers to address the pope and more than two dozen leaders from around the world.

“This year holds unprecedented significance for democracy and the climate, two intertwined issues which will define our future,” Newsom said. “With half the world’s population poised to elect their leaders amidst a backdrop of escalating political extremism, and global temperatures hurtling towards alarming new heights, the stakes could not be higher. There is no greater authority than moral authority — and the Pope’s leadership on the climate crisis inspires us all to push further and faster. “

Francis is the first pope to make climate change a top priority of his papacy, seeking to marry scientific facts about greenhouse gas emissions with a moral call to the 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide and leaders across the globe to protect the planet for future generations. Critical of the lack of urgent action, the Pope called climate deniers “foolish” in his first interview on U.S. television last week .

For Newsom, a Catholic, the invitation from the Vatican provides an opportunity to show that he’s aligned with Francis and appeal to the 50 million Americans who follow the religion. The trip also gives the Democratic governor an international stage to stress the importance of 2024 elections — and the choice between President Biden and former President Trump — on the climate crisis.

Biden is considered a friend of the climate movement and his Inflation Reduction Act, a 2022 law to increase renewable energy production and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, is one of the nation’s largest climate investments. The president has sought to reduce the country’s reliance on coal and gas plants, which Trump has said he would reverse.

California battery storage increasing rapidly, but not enough to end blackouts, Gov. Newsom says

Gov. Gavin Newsom said Thursday that California continued to rapidly add the battery storage that is critical to the transition to cleaner energy, but admitted it was not enough to avoid blackouts during heat waves.

April 25, 2024

Former Gov. Jerry Brown used his visit to the Vatican in 2017 to deliver a scathing critique of Trump’s climate policies. The visit came months after Trump withdrew from the Paris climate accord .

Lauren Sanchez, Newsom’s climate advisor, also pointed to elections in India, Mexico and other nations as critical to climate change efforts this year.

Veerabhadran Ramanathan, a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, serves in Pope Francis’ Council for the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and helped organize the event. He said invitations were limited to international mayors and governors, including Govs. Maura Healey of Massachusetts and Kathy Hochul of New York. President Biden and other world leaders were not invited to attend, but representatives of his administration will be present, Ramanathan said.

Ramanathan said pressure is on international heads of state to cut emissions, but adaptation starts “bottom up.”

“The key thing is to ask yourself, if there’s drought, and then there’s a fire in our backyard, who is fighting it?” Ramanathan said. “Not presidents of the nation. It’s the mayors and governors. We want to give them sort of a blueprint of how to deal with it.”

California wants to harness more than half its land to combat climate change by 2045. Here’s how

State officials unveiled 81 targets to transform millions of acres in the Golden State into landscapes that can absorb more carbon than they release by 2045.

Ramanathan said California is a leader on climate change and the council felt it was important to hear from the state at the summit.

Newsom is expected to repeat the message that the “ climate crisis is a fossil-fuels crisis ” and call out the role of oil companies.

“We think the governor stands alone among elected officials around the world who are really willing to say that this crisis is created by the burning of coal and oil and gas, and that we need to move away from those fossil fuels as quickly as possible,” Sanchez said.

In honor of Earth Week, Newsom announced a plan last week to transform more than half of the state’s 100 million acres of land into multi-benefit landscapes that absorb more carbon than they release . The plan is part of Newsom’s strategy to curtail emissions and reach carbon neutrality in California by 2045 . The challenge includes other ambitious targets, such as requiring all new vehicles sold in California to be hybrid or electric by 2035 .

Newsom’s visit to the Vatican is expected to be brief, with the governor touching down Wednesday, speaking at the conference the following day and wrapping up his engagements on Friday. His delegation includes a few members of his staff. Wade Crowfoot, California’s natural resources secretary, is also expected to speak.

Newsom’s travels have drawn criticism from his GOP critics, who contend he should be focusing exclusively on problems in California such as the state’s massive budget deficit .

The governor went to China in October to promote climate cooperation with a short stop in Israel in the early stages of the war with Hamas. He left the state again the following month to debate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Georgia and has campaigned in other states in support of Biden’s bid for reelection.

Duchess Sophie visits Ukraine for heartfelt reason

The royal mother-of-two met the president and first lady of ukraine.

Duchess Sophie kicked off her visit to Ukraine on Monday to show her solidarity with the women, men and children impacted by the war and as part of her ongoing work to champion survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.

Sophie, 59, is visiting the country at the request of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

On Monday morning, she met with President Zelensky and First Lady Zelenska , before delivering a message on behalf of King Charles .

During her visit, Sophie, who is the first royal to visit Ukraine since the start of the war, also met with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and survivors of torture, and with children who have been safely returned to Ukraine, after being separated from their families and deported by Russia.

Elsewhere, Sophie also paid her respects to those who lost their lives in Bucha, and visited the 'Road to Life' bridge which became a key part of the Ukrainian resistance when it was blown up to stop Russian troops proceeding to Kyiv, and which later became a route for fleeing people.

Showing her support for Ukrainian women who have played key roles in the conflict and community recovery, Duchess Sophie also met with female volunteers who work to help their communities in the aftermath of the attacks with mental health care activities for children.

On International Women's Day in 2019, Prince Edward's wife publicly announced her commitment to champion the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda and the UK's Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative (PSVI), at a reception for Women Peacebuilders at Buckingham Palace.

At the time, she said: "As someone who firmly believes in the equality of men and women, I feel drawn to your cause and to do what I can to help raise further awareness of your work.

"To help give voice to women and girls who are being denied their fundamental rights as humans and are being subjected to harm and violence as a result of conflict, to promote those who seek to play a part in finding peace, and to support others as they attempt to rebuild their lives.

"Therefore I am publicly committing myself to doing what I can to champion and support WPS and PSVI and make this a central pillar of my work in the coming months and years."

Since then, she has taken part in a number of engagements and overseas trips to highlight international efforts towards women's roles in peacebuilding.

Sophie's visit to the Ukraine comes after she attended the NSPCC Corporate Impact Awards last week before heading to a reception for the Georgetown Institute of Women, Peace and Security Launch of the Women Peace and Security Index at the Royal Bank of Canada Brewin Dolphin in London.

In the afternoon, meanwhile, Sophie strode across the iconic zebra crossing after attending the Orbis Visionaries Reception at Abbey Road Studios in her role as Global Ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.
