Dear {Recipient},

Thank you for the lovely birthday card you sent me. I was so happy when I opened my mailbox and saw the little {color} envelope sitting inside. As much as I enjoy using the Internet, you know I still love getting physical cards and letters in the mail.

Thank you for remembering me on my {age} birthday even if we {haven't seen each other for a while/live far away from each other}. Your thoughtfulness really warms my heart. Take care always!

Best,
{Your Name}

Dear {Recipient},

I can't believe you got me {item} for my birthday! How did you know I've wanted one for a really long time? I don't think I ever mentioned it to you… Did {name} tell you about it?

Anyway, that was very {sweet/generous/thoughtful/kind} of you. You didn't have to, but I truly appreciate the gesture. Thank you so much. I'm going to {wear/use/etc.} it {right away/this weekend/etc.}!

Best,
{Your Name}
