Say Thanks is a new feature from [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-debuts-at-stagecoach) that makes it easy to celebrate meaningful friendships with a [personalized video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tunestory). To get started, the first thing you'll need to do is choose a Facebook friend that you'll be sending this message to. From there, Facebook automatically generates a video based on photos or posts that involve the two of you.

To add a few personal touches to the video, you're able to modify the theme based on the nature of your relationship and make changes to any of the photos that have been added. Once you're happy with the minute-long video, sending this [thank you](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodwishes) is as easy as clicking "Share." When you do, the Say Thanks video card is posted to your Facebook timeline and your friend is tagged so that they'll see it on their timeline as well.
