Business address is fine on thank-you note
This upcoming week is my last week at my current job. I was given lovely little gifts and notes by the teens with whom I currently work, and I have written thank-you cards. I am wondering, do I use my home address as the return address, or should I use my employer (a public institution) as the return address.Easy Ways to Support the Troops During the Holidays. I am using personal thank-you cards and my own stamps.
First, with all the talk of incivility and rudeness, especially about teens, I revel in your story: teens writing thank-you notes and giving small gifts showing their appreciation for what you have done for them. For all the good things teens — and people of all ages — do for each other, what we usually hear about is the one story of rudeness, which, like a bad apple, spoils all the good ones that are out there.
Your choice to send a thank-you note to each teen is admirable. Receiving a thank-you note from you is a great object lesson for them. The thank-you note is really an easy and effective way to connect with people and make a positive impression. It can be short — three to five sentences. Write it right away; the next day is perfect. Stick to the point: Comment about the person, the event, or the gift; offer an expression of thanks; and suggest any follow-up you plan to do.

Business Gifts For That Personal Connection
Business gifts are great ways to show appreciation to employees, and to say thank you or to congratulate them for a job well done or for something else going on in their lives. They are also great to save up for your best customers as a way to say "thank you for your business". After all, without our clients we would be nowhere at all!
It is not always possible to hand deliver gifts to clients, especially when those clients are located across the country or are even in a different part of the world. In this case, take the time to create a special note or hand written letter for those clients who merit special attention, and include them with the nicely wrapped package that you will be sending inside the shipping box.
As for employees, there are many occasions on which a business gift is appropriate, and these range from a promotion to a completed project and from an anniversary with the company to the birth of a new child. Business gifts are meant to show your employees that they are important to you and that you care about what is going on with them and/or are thankful for the hard work that they are doing for you, so prove that appreciation by giving them their business gifts in person.

Never too late to say thanks properly
When I became engaged, the women of my religious institution (my mother's contemporaries) held a shower for me, for which I immediately wrote thank-you notes for the luncheon and the gifts.My husband and I were married by a judge but had a reception several months later in my hometown. While I was mingling with the guests, one of the ladies who had attended the luncheon came up to me and told me, with a smile, that I had written her a thank-you note for the wrong gift (I got you X, and you thanked me for Y) and that she thought I would like to know.
I was mortified, of course. I apologized effusively, said it must have been new-bride idiocy, thanked her for the gift she did give me and retired red-faced.It has haunted me since then, and I've never seen her afterward without feeling like a fool — and I've been married 29 years.Should I have written her another thank-you note? What would have been the best response? Since no one else mentioned anything, I can only hope that the rest of the notes were accurate. It's years too late, of course, but I'd love to lay this ghost to rest and feel I acted correctly at the time.
Personalised Thank You Gifts - Make Your Thank You a Golden One.Twenty-nine years is a long time to feel like a fool, and Miss Manners would like to offer you some relief. But alas, she cannot bring herself to declare that the fact that the lady already had a (misguided) letter from you, or your including thanks with your embarrassed apology, took the place of a genuine and correct letter of thanks.Presumably the lady herself has long since forgotten. But you have not, which does you credit. So the job now is to get it off your conscience.

Personalised Thank You Gifts - Make Your Thank You a Golden One
Saying thank-you doesn't necessarily have to involve sticking banners or signs to bathroom mirrors, fridge doors, around offices or lifts. Nor does it have to involve breaking the bank. Sometimes, "thank you" is all about creating something personal and special for the person you intend it to.Since saying thank-you is so rare, it makes you look that much better when you give one. And that's why there's a mountain of thank you gifts out there. When someone's done something special for you, why not express your heartfelt thanks with personalised thank you gifts?
The best thing about personalised gifts is that you folks get to add any name or personal message to your pressie - that could be your bridesmaid, best man, relative or friend. Your gift will be completely personal to them.You can get engraved personalised gifts such as crystal flutes and engraved trinket boxes, beautifully etched with their name and your thank you message. Want to say an especially unusual thank-you? You can actually buy old newspapers - otherwise known as personalised newspapers - online, from any date of your choice to express your gratitude.
While a phone call, instant message, email or text message is all very nice, saying thank-you with a hand-written letter can really pack a punch. When was the last time you received one, or wrote one? You can even get your mitts on thank-you-themed personalised stationery, like letterheads, postcards and cards, so you can show your appreciation in style.
