sometimes being timely with thank you notes doesn't pay

I try to send all thank you notes the day after an event or receipt of a gift.  I know its a bit OCD but I just like to get it done.

Friday:  gift arrived from a friend in the mail

Saturday:  thank you card sent

Monday:  another gift arrived from same friend...  hmm...  card went out already which obviously didn't mention this second gift at all.  I'm going to wait a few days this time and send another thank you card.

    Yup, I had this happen a few times with my bridal registry, Bed Bath & Beyond is notorious for splitting up orders (I've learned) so I'd get a box of things on one day, and sometimes a WEEK later get a second box with the shipping/packing slip inside.

    I checked the packaging slip after the first gift. This friend is usually very generous and buys numerous gifts, not that there is anything wrong with getting a blanket alone as a gift. The package said there was only one item ordered and shipped so i f

    If I had already sent a thank you for the first gift and then a couple of days later received yet another gift from the same person I would CALL them and thank them for the second gift.  I would explain that they did not arrive together and that is w

    Thank you :)

    Bah that's annoying! Although, I usually call, text or FB to say a quick "Thanks, this arrived and I'm so excited" prior to sending my cards, because we've lived where mail tends to run slow getting to people. It's actually how I've found out about spl
