I have an embarrassing confession: The vast majority of the time, I sign off my emails with "thanks!" It doesn't matter if I have anything to show appreciation for or not—it tends to be my default signature.
When I'm not busy expressing my gratitude for absolutely nothin'? I go with a standard "best" at the end of my messages. Isn't my creativity just astounding?
It's not that I don't want to cap off my email with something great. It's just that I often find myself drawing a blank. Are there even any other options aside from those two widely-accepted favorites?
Yes, there are. And, as a matter of fact, there's a lot of them. Fortunately for you (and for me!) I pulled a huge selection into this list right here. Of course, not all of them will be suitable for every sort of situation or office. But, with so many options, you're bound to find one that fits the bill.
So, go ahead and bookmark this page and come back to it when you feel like straying from your standard email sign-off and trying something a little different.

Again, not all of these will be appropriate for every single email you send. Just like in spoken communication, the words you use with your boss or an important client will be much different than the ones you'd use with a close friend or co-worker.
So, make sure to think through the message and the circumstances before adding your signature—particularly if you're thinking of using a snarkier one. Feeling stuck? This handy guide can help you determine whether or not you can drop the formalities.
With that in mind, kiss your tried and true sign-off goodbye and use one of these to switch things up every now and then!
