effusively

In gushing manner

Effusively means in an excessively demonstrative or gushing manner, with emotion that spills out abundantly: She thanked them effusively for the gift.

The word often carries a hint of excess—enthusiasm that borders on too much, praise that feels overwrought: He effusively complimented every dish she served.
