Say Thanks With Custom Appreciation Cards
Cards that express thanks are often themed around a holiday or special event, but there are times when you’ll want to show general appreciation for a person’s generosity or make a kind gesture to show that your relationship is important. We know that expressing such feelings can be more complicated than it seems, which is why we have so many appreciation cards and options at Shutterfly. Do you have someone who’s a hero in your life? Celebrate special memories with them with one of our collage-style recognition cards that can be customized with up to six photos and a personal message. We also offer wrapped canvas expressions of thanks so your recipient can keep your message at their work desk or anywhere else.
Birthday Thanks Cards
Whether you’ve hit a milestone yourself be it your Sweet 16, or your son or daughter’s first birthday, you want to show thanks to the guests who attended your celebration or your child’s party. Or perhaps you just want to thank friends who showed up and shared a strong beer with you. We have all the birthday cards you’ll need to suit the occasion. At Shutterfly, we have plenty of templates for children’s birthday thank you cards, including options with their favorite movie characters to give them a personal touch. Speaking of personal, you can even upload your original design featuring pictures of the birthday honoree or some of the most fun photos of the party.
Father’s Day and Mother’s Day Thank You Cards
Your parents gave you the gift of life, and it’s important to show your thanks for all the unconditional love and support they give you. With Shutterfly, you can always upload your original designs to create personal, heartfelt cards for your parents, and we have some other great, personalized gift options as well. For example, consider at our ceramic coaster sets for Dad. Our collections of set of four ceramic coasters can be customized with your favorite photos together, and it pairs great with a thank you note and even better with one of our love mugs with customizable colors and photo options. Show Mom your thanks as well with gifts like customizable blankets and pillows to keep her cozy or a ceramic tile that she can display anywhere with your best family photos.

Say Thanks With New Home Decorations
Moving into a new home is an exciting milestone for anyone. With Shutterfly, you can show your thanks to family and friends making a move by helping them decorate with home decor. Get started by designing a heartfelt desk plaque for them, featuring photos of their loved ones or special moments. If you’re looking for something lighthearted, a cocktail plaque for a personal bar is a great choice. For those who work remotely with in-home offices, you can design personalized calendars, or even mouse pads, so they can remember their favorite people while they work throughout the day. All of our mouse pads are stain-resistant and simple to clean as well.
Express Thanks to a Recent Graduate
Graduating high school or college is a big life milestone. If you have a favorite recent graduate, this is a perfect time to say thanks for all they do and all the hard work they’ve put into their studies throughout the years. You could gift them a Shutterfly yard sign that’s customized with their photos and graduation year to show off their accomplishment. Help them plan a graduation party with our gorgeous glitter graduation invitations. We even have graduation-themed metal ornaments so they can celebrate their accomplishment on the Christmas tree this holiday season.
Give Thanks to Your Pets
Pets are an important part of the family, so it’s important for you to show them your thanks as well, this time, not just with treats or belly rubs. If you’re a dog owner, check out one of our uniquely designed dog bandanas for both small and large breeds alike. You can personalize the bandana with up to three photos and choose your background color as well. Cat owners know how much cats love to sleep, so gift yours with a photo gallery fleece blanket that shows off your best moments. You can even take your coffee on the go with a pet-collage mug for morning walks.

No matter how you choose to show thanks to someone in your life, you can be sure they’ll appreciate your kind sentiment. Whether it’s going out of your way to purchase them something nice that reflects their unique personality, or writing out a heartfelt message, the options are endless as to how you can show your appreciation. When you’re in need of a special kind of card or personalized gift, keep Shutterfly in mind the next time you need to give the gift of thanks to someone you love.
