Message Ideas

Crafting the perfect message may be difficult so here are some message ideas and inspiration.

Gift notice ideas.

When a gift is not wrappable or set for a future time, a puzzle is a great way to let them know what it is while giving them something to open and have fun with over the holidays. It’s a great way to kick off a treasure hunt or increase suspense and excitement.

  • Enjoy your new skis/snowboard! (great with Winter Holiday puzzle).
  • I found the antique rose bush you want. It’s being delivered in May. (great for the Flowers and Fruit puzzle).
  • Create your masterpiece with your new paints. (The Masters painting puzzles).
  • Check your bedroom for your new plant.
  • We’re going to see (sports team) in February.
  • We’re starting ballroom dance lessons in March.
  • You’re finally getting your first cell phone!

Gift Card

Let’s face it: some people are just hard to buy for. Whether you’re searching for teen boy or girl gifts, grandpa or dad gifts, gift cards often are the solution. But, gift cards are impersonal—unless you present them as a mystery message in a puzzle! Notifying them with a puzzle shows forethought to make the mundane a well thought out and planned for gift.

  • I hope you enjoy your Starbucks gift card. It’s hidden under the key bowl.
  • Find your buried treasure under the fruit bowl (great for an Underwater puzzle).
  • Enjoy your shopping spree on me – Gramps.
  • Put this gift toward (item they are saving for).
  • For the boots at the mall, sorry I don’t know your size.
  • So you eat more than raman at school (a grocery store gift card).
  • To replace the book you loved and lost.

Humorous message ideas.

Some people are hard to shop for. Some people have very specific tastes, while others simply prefer their gifts on the, um, humorous side. These funny messages are for all those people. Whether you’re shopping for your witty friend or a family member with a surprising sense of humor, this list can inspire your funny bone.

  • Buy a puzzle for both of your brothers with the same message – You’re my favourite brother but don’t tell (other brother’s name).
  • I bet you wish this was a gift card.

Thank you message ideas.

  • Thank you, Mrs. Yoast for the cookies!
  • Thank you for your advice and kind words.
  • Thank you for sharing your wonderful stories.
  • Thank you, professor, for the real life lessons.
  • You’re the missing piece in my puzzle.

Love note ideas.

  • My heart still races when I see you.
  • Your voice is my favourite sound.
  • You make me forget how to breathe.
  • You are my missing piece.
