Thank you is the natural partner of please, and it gets used constantly: for snacks, for help, for a hug.
Thank you in Spanish
gracias
Sounds like ≈ GRAH-syahs
Good to know: In most of Spain the c is said like the "th" in thin (GRAH-thyahs); in Latin America it's an s. Both are correct. The reply is de nada ("you're welcome").
