When you receive a gift, you can use the following expressions instead of just saying “Thank you!”

*************************
“Thank you so much! This is really thoughtful of you.”
“I love it! How did you know exactly what I needed?”
“This is wonderful, thank you! You really made my day.”
“Oh wow, I can’t believe you got this for me. Thank you!”
“This is perfect! Thank you for being so kind.”

Sample dialogue for receiving a gift:

“Emily: Hi, James! I have something for you.
James: Oh, what is it?
James: Wow, a book! Thank you so much, Emily!
Emily: You’re welcome! I know you love reading.
Emily: Do you like the book?
James: Yes, I love it! It looks really interesting.
James: I can’t wait to start reading it tonight.
Emily: I thought you might like that one. It’s by your favorite author.
Emily: I’m glad you’re happy!
James: I really appreciate it. You’re a great friend.”

“You never know what you’re gonna get. Forrest, you don’t know what love is. You don’t know what you are capable of. Everyone thinks they got you figured out based on how you look. But I look at you and I listen to you, you’re the smartest man I ever met.” （ English dialogue from the movie “Forrest Gump”）

「ママはいつも言っていた、人生ってのはチョコレートの箱みたいなものだって。何が出るか、絶対に分からないんだ。フォレスト、君は愛が何かを知らない。自分が何ができるかも知らない。皆は見た目だけで君を理解したと思っている。でも私は君を見て、君の話を聞く。君は私が会った中で最も賢い人だよ。」映画「フォレスト・ガンプ」より
