Gift Acknowledgement Ideas

Thanks for the money. I wanted to spend it on (candy/a pet iguana/other silly item here) but my parents say it goes in my college fund.

I love the beautiful jewelry item/clothing/Judaica and look forward to wearing it on special occasions.

How did you know Amazon/iTunes/Barnes & Noble/gift card place is my favorite place to shop? I can’t wait to use the gift card to get something I’ve had my eye on for months.

Spice it up by sprinkling in some funny lines, if it fits the writer’s personality:

I hope you enjoyed the celebration. You have some awesome dance moves!

Come back! It was so much fun having you here that I wish we could do it again next weekend.

For non-Jewish friends: Congratulations, you’re now an honorary member of the tribe.
