What to write on a snack box gift note

The snacks get eaten, but the note gets kept. People fold it up, stick it on a fridge, or leave it on a desk for months. That small piece of paper is where the gift becomes personal. If you are staring at the checkout box blanking out, here is how to write something real.
Keep it short and specific
One or two lines beats a paragraph. The best notes name something specific. Instead of hoping you enjoy this, say something about them or the moment. Specific beats sincere every time, because it proves you were thinking about that person, not copying a card.

Do not write an essay. A tight, honest line lands harder than three paragraphs of padding.
Borrow one of these
For a friend who likes heat: I found the spicy stuff. Survive the chip and you win.
For a partner: A small box of things I knew you would steal first.
For a colleague: Thanks for making the office bearable. Snacks are on me.
For someone far away: Wish I could hand you this in person. Open it and call me.
For the picky eater: I did the hard part. You just eat.
Match the tone to the person
Funny works for close friends, warm works for family, and a little neutral polish works for a client. Read it back out loud before you submit. If it sounds like something you would actually say, send it. If it sounds like a greeting card, cut it down.
Add your note at checkout and we print it inside the box. Then browse the gift boxes to make sure the snacks match the message.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a gift note be?
One or two lines is plenty. Short and specific beats long and generic.
Can I include a note with every box?
Yes, add it at checkout and we print it inside.
What if I am bad with words?
Copy one of the lines above and tweak a word. Specific is more important than clever.

Taste vs flavour: they are not the same
