A gift card doesn’t have to feel impersonal — in fact, when written with a little care, it can become one of the most heartfelt presents you’ll give this season. The secret? Your message. A few thoughtful lines can turn a simple card into something that feels personal, warm, and perfectly tailored to the person receiving it.
Here’s how to make it count — plus real examples you can copy and personalize for each of our connected stores.
💌 1. Keep It Personal
Don’t just write “Merry Christmas” — connect it to why you chose that gift. Mention a memory, a feeling, or a reason they’ll love what’s inside.
“I thought this would bring a bit of comfort to your mornings — Merry Christmas, with love.”
✨ 2. Add Emotion, Not Length
You don’t need a long paragraph. Just be warm and real.
Think of tone over word count: short, kind, sincere.
“Because you deserve a little care and calm this Christmas.”
“Here’s something small to make your days feel a little brighter.”
🎁 3. Match Your Message to the Gift

🌲 4. End with Connection
Gift cards are instant, but your words make them timeless.
Finish your note with something that feels human — a warm wish, a promise to catch up, or a simple “thinking of you.”
“Merry Christmas — can’t wait to see you soon.”
“With love and a big holiday hug.”

“A small reminder that you’re loved — and that I’ll still eat the last cookie if you’re not looking.”

For Anyone Who’s Had a Tough Year:
“Wishing you a gentle Christmas — quiet joy, warm light, and everything soft.”
“You’ve handled this year like a champ. Here’s something that gives back a bit of the kindness you deserve.”
