If you’re including a thank-you gift, note it in the card. A simple “I hope you enjoy the flowers” or “I hope this little gift brightens your day” is great.

Pop up cards are quick and easy to make. Start by making a few simple cuts into a piece of card, then can create a tab (or multiple tabs) that you push forward and decorate.

Some parents still find thank-you notes important, while others don't. Parenting experts say teaching kids to express gratitude is what's important.
