What to write for Thanksgiving: handwritten thank-you notes
Thanksgiving is about who is at the table — and who isn’t.
Write a short thank-you by hand today and choose Thanksgiving morning (November 26 in 2026). It arrives at 8am, and they will see exactly where your hand slowed down.
For your parents
- Thank you. I never say it enough.
- Everything good at my table started at yours.
- I’m thankful for you — out loud, for once.
For someone who won’t be at the table
- There’s a seat for you, even this year.
- We’ll miss you at the table. I’m thankful for you anyway.
- Wherever you’re eating today, I’m thinking of you.
For a friend
- Thankful for you — the family I chose.
- You showed up this year. I noticed. Thank you.
- Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for being easy to be around.
For a teacher or mentor
- You saw something in me before I did. Thank you.
- I still hear your advice. I’m grateful for it.
- Thank you for your patience. It changed things for me.
For your partner
- I’m most thankful for the ordinary days with you.
- Thank you for choosing me, again, this year.

FAQ
Q. When should I write it?
Any time before. Choose Thanksgiving as the arrival day and it arrives at 8am in your time zone that morning.
Q. Can I thank someone I haven’t spoken to in years?
Yes. You only need a way to share the link — a message, an email, or any app you both use.
Q. Does the other person need the app?
No. They open the link and read it in their browser. No app, no account.
Q. Is it free?
Writing, sending, receiving and reading are free, and a selection of papers and stamps is free. Some stamp and paper designs are paid (from ¥800), and membership is optional.
Q. My handwriting is messy. Is that a problem?
No. TEGAMI does not tidy or correct your writing. The speed and the pauses arrive exactly as they were — that is the point.
Q. Can I send the same message to several people?
Yes. After sending, choose “Send the same letter to someone else”, change the name and send again. The arrival day carries over.
