7. Thanks For The Gift, Mate
“Thanks for the gift, mate” is one of the best informal phrases you can use. It shows that you appreciate and accept a gift card (or any gift). If you received the gift because you did something for someone, this phrase is great.

- Thanks for the gift, mate. If you need anything else from me, you know where to find me. I want to help you with this transition.
- Thanks for the gift, mate. You have no idea how much I need this right now. I know it’s only a gift card, but it means a lot.
8. Thanks For Getting Me The Gift Card
“Thanks for getting me the gift card” is a direct yet informal way to be grateful. It works well if you want to be concise and just thank them for what they’ve given you.
- Thanks for getting me the gift card. I wasn’t sure if you were happy with the work I did. This proves me wrong.

9. I Will Make The Most Of This Gift Card
“I will make the most of this gift card” shows that you have good intentions of spending the present you received. It’s a good one informally to show that you appreciate the gift.
- I will make the most of this gift card. I’m not sure where I’ll go to spend it yet, but I really appreciate your offer.
- I will make the most of this gift card. Don’t worry; I’m sure I’ll find someplace to spend all this money!
- I will make the most of this gift card. I didn’t expect it at all. I was happy to help you out for free without needing an incentive.
10. I’ll Be Sure To Use It Wisely
“I’ll be sure to use it wisely” is a great phrase here. It works well because it shows that you value the gift card and will use it wisely. This shows that you aren’t just shrugging it off as any old present.
- I’ll be sure to use it wisely. I’ll probably sit on it for the time being until something comes along that I want.
- I wasn’t expecting it at all. I suppose that’s what makes you such a good friend to me! I’ll be sure to use it wisely.
- I know you got it for me, but I don’t need it necessarily! I’ll be sure to use it wisely. If not, feel free to use it yourself.
11. Cheers For This
“Cheers for this” is a great informal alternative. It shows that you are grateful, where “cheers” replaces the usual “thank you.”

- Cheers for this. Let me know if you need anything else from me before you go away for the weekend. I’m here to help.
- Cheers for this. I wasn’t sure whether you were happy with my work. I’m glad you liked it, though.
12. Oh, Wow!
“Oh, wow!” means you are shocked and excited to receive the gift card. If you want to show that you value the present, this one is a great phrase. It’s best informally, though, since it uses two exclamations (“oh” and “wow”).
- Oh, wow! I’m flabbergasted that you thought about me! I can honestly say that I was not expecting this!
- Oh, wow! Thank you for the gift card. I didn’t need it, but it’s nice to see that you care about me enough to buy me one.
- Oh, wow! I wasn’t expecting that! I hope you’ll invite me to help you again soon. I will see what I can do about spending it.
