Content of a Thank You Letter for a Housewarming Gift

The content of a thank you letter for a housewarming gift will depend upon who gave the gift to the recipient. All thank you letters should contain an explicit message of thanks and references to the gift that was given, as well as particulars of how the gift was enjoyed by the recipient, but other details will differ depending upon the gift giver.

Format of a Thank You Letter for a Housewarming Gift

A thank you letter for a housewarming gift should be an informal letter, so strict, formal formatting is not required. The contact details of the writer and recipient can be left out, and a variety of salutations and closings can be used. With thank you letters for housewarming gifts it is truly the thought that counts, so making sure that these letters are sincere is more important than worrying about how to format them. If possible these letters should be posted or hand delivered so that they arrive no later than a week after the gift was given. However, if they do arrive later it can always be blamed on having to get the new home in order - and finding the pens and paper in all of the boxes!
