Thank yous for hand me downs?

andrea0418

I work at a daycare with the infants and a couple of the moms have given me hand me downs from their boys. Do I write them thank yous or just express my apprecition, their generosity in person?

I think just a nice verbal thank you is fine. But there's no harm in writing a note, if you'd like to do that, too.

A woman that I work with has given me a couple of hand-me down items.  I think that she picked them up at yard/garage sales.  I gave her a thank you note just because I thought that it would be a gesture that would mean a lot to her. I don't think that you would have to be certainly, would be no harm to do so.

I agree with PP's.  No harm in an extra thank you:)  If you want to.

I say do both.

I'd write a thank you note. It'll make the gift giver feel appreciated. That's so nice that you have such a good relationship with your parents!

I would, and have, write thank you notes. It's a small gesture that goes a long way IMO. One friend that gave me a TON of expensive stuff I also gave a gift card to Papa Murphy's.
