The holidays are the perfect time to go beyond words and pair your handwritten note with a thoughtful seasonal gesture. Whether you’re sending a small gift to clients, employees, or loved ones, adding a handwritten holiday note makes the gesture even more meaningful. With Handwrytten, you can send cards directly to each recipient — or have them bulk shipped back to one location so they can be included alongside your holiday gifts.
From festive treats and cozy items to charitable donations in someone’s honor, the right pairing transforms a simple message into a lasting memory.
While a handwritten note already feels personal, adding a seasonal gesture:
These are just a few of the reasons why adding seasonal gestures can make a lasting impression. By combining your message with a thoughtful token, you ensure your outreach is remembered long after the holiday season.
Here are ways to elevate your holiday notes with small but powerful seasonal touches:
Include a coffee shop, bookstore, or restaurant gift card. Handwrytten even allows you to select gift cards at checkout, making it seamless to pair a note with a gesture. You can also create themed bundles — for example, a hot cocoa gift card paired with a cozy winter note.
Pair your card with cookies, chocolates, or other local seasonal goodies. A handwritten message plus a taste of the season leaves a memorable impression. Try local artisanal treats or small-batch items to make your gesture unique.
Add a small ornament, pine sprig, or holiday decoration. These keepsakes make your card feel like a little holiday treasure. Consider including something reusable or decorative, so your recipient can display it throughout the season.
For professional clients or employees, consider including a seasonal perk — like a discount, free consultation, or extended support hours — highlighted in your card. Even small gestures like early access to a product or VIP perks can make your note stand out.
Donate in your recipient’s honor and note it in the card. The combination of gratitude and generosity resonates strongly during the holiday season. You can also share a small story or photo of the impact, giving your note extra depth.
