Wow! That was my first reaction after reading Robyn Spizman's inspirational Thank You book. She really shows how to send a heartfelt thank you for any occasion. Instead of the traditional, "Thank you so much for the blah...," Robyn really shows how to make every word count and show how truly thankful you are, not only for the gift, but to the giver for being a special friend or relative. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and everyone who ever wants to say thank you and mean it.

I was given this book as a pre-wedding gift from my parents. Wow! This book was so very helpful in writing the hundreds of ?thank you? notes that I had to churn out in a small period of time. This small, little book helps inspire you to make thank you statements that really mean something. I heard so much feedback from those that were generous enough to give gifts, about my heartfelt sent thank you notes! I continue to use the book, years after marriage, for cute ideas of thanks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful, July 20, 2005

This book is excellent for anyone who needs to say a short "Thank You." I believe it will prove useful many times in the future. I just got married and had no idea how to say thank you to all of the many people we recieved gifts from. I have flipped through it many times for ideas on what words to use, but it is still very difficult. The notes are very formal in the book, and I am definately not that formal.
This book has encouraging words on many topics, along with some samples of notes that can be written. A few of these topics include friend, birthday, and everyday thank-yous, romantic and edible thank yous, family and teacher thank yous, and even business thank-yous. It also has a nice list of adjectives that can be used in a letter or note.
