Why Every ODIDOMI Goodie Bag Includes a Thank-You Puzzle Card

How one small puzzle card turns our loot bags into meaningful, kid-friendly thank-yous

A Thank-You That Comes in Pieces

At its heart, a goodie bag is a thank-you. It’s a way for the birthday child (and their parents) to say: Thank you for coming. Thank you for making this day what it was. Or at least this is how we see it.

That simple gesture, a parting gift for each guest, is something we’ve come to love since moving to Canada. It wasn’t part of the birthday culture we grew up with in France, where the birthday child was the one receiving gifts. But over time, we’ve come to appreciate how thoughtful it can be when done with intention.
(We shared more about this cultural shift in our story on Canadian goodie bag traditions.)

So when we started ODIDOMI, we knew our goodie bags had to carry that thank-you message in a more personal way.

A Card That Actually Says It

The idea was simple: if the goodie bag is the gesture, we needed something that could hold the message.

So we designed a custom thank-you card in the form of a puzzle.

It’s playful. It’s unexpected. And it literally spells out the words that matter.

As the child builds the puzzle, they slowly uncover a message of appreciation from the birthday child. And for once, the thank-you isn’t just read, it’s felt.

A Moment to Pause

We know how easy it is to rush through party favors. To cross them off the list and move on. Even in our own family, we have to be intentional about slowing down. We’re not overly materialistic, but we do place a lot of value on gifts that come with meaning. The ones that remind you who they came from and why.
(We explore this more in our post about the joy of gifting.)

There’s something special about discovering a thank-you slowly, piece by piece.
It helps the message land with more intention, especially when kids are the ones receiving it.

We like that the puzzle asks for a little focus. It creates a quiet moment between the party and everything else. And in a world where most kids' party favors are rushed or forgotten, we think that pause is worth something.

A Thank-You They Can Share

We also wanted to give kids a way to make the card their own. That’s why the design leaves room for a second act. Once the puzzle is complete, it can be used again.

It becomes a real card, one the child can give to someone else. Maybe a teacher. Maybe a grandparent. Maybe a friend. It’s their thank-you now.

It’s a small way of passing on the thoughtfulness and making the act of gratitude a little more creative and fun.
