You can add a message to a gift on Telegram — the recipient sees it together with the gift. A short warm line turns even a 15-Star bear into a personal present. Below are ideas for different occasions.

How to add a message

  1. Open the person's profile and choose to send a gift.
  2. Pick a gift and type your text into the message field.
  3. If you like, turn on "Hide My Name" — then your name and message are seen only by the recipient.

To a friend

  • "For all our chats until three in the morning."
  • "Here's a bear — it'll hug you for me."
  • "So there's something from me on your profile."

To a girlfriend or boyfriend

  • "You're the best thing in my Telegram."
  • "A rose that will never wilt."
  • "Every message from you is a little gift. This one is from me."
  • "Pin me on your profile."

To a brother or sister

  • "To the dearest person in my contacts."
  • "For always being there."
  • "Remember how we used to share one sweet? This gift you don't have to share."

To a colleague

  • "Thank you for your help with the project."
  • "It's a pleasure working with you."
  • "For your patience with my questions in the chat."

For a birthday

If the message is just for the two of you

With "Hide My Name" on, the recipient sees your name and message, and everyone else who opens the gift on their profile does not.

  • "Just between us."
  • "You know what for."
  • "People like you more than you think."

Frequently asked questions

Where do I write a message for a gift on Telegram?

The gift-sending window has a field for text — the recipient sees it together with the gift.

Can I send a gift anonymously?

Not to the recipient: they always see who sent the gift. "Hide My Name" hides your name and message from everyone else who views the gift on their profile.

Do other people see the message on a gift?

Gifts can be visible on the recipient's profile. What to show is up to them — gifts on your profile.

Which gift should I choose for a girlfriend?

People most often give a rose, a heart or a bear — and the message makes the gift personal. Every gift with its price is on the Telegram gifts page.
