“Modern Expressions” is a monthly series that provides the month’s most popular gift card notes written by you!

We’ve all been there, staring at a blank note that needs to be filled with a beautifully composed message. Finding the sentiment to compliment the gift can become a mental spin cycle. The message may be brief, but the process is not. Messages require the right blend of thought and care.

That’s why we decided to dig into our database of millions of gift messages to see the most popular gift messages sent over the past 30 days. In this month’s installment, we focus on three occasions everyone celebrates – the holidays, new babies, and birthdays!

Writing messages can be a challenge, and we’re here to take the challenge out of it. Now, aren’t you curious about your top messages? Here are our monthly top exchanges:
