Do you say thank you for gifts?

Because some of the people in my life don't.

I don't expect a  hand written note.  I truly don't.  Not a phone call either.  But fire me an email that said.  "Got the stuff.   Thanks."

Is the stuff I send so fugly that it doesn't deserve an email?  Gah.   One friend... I emailed her a month after sending her a box for her new baby -- just a pretty sleeper and one of those awesome big Priddy books.  I just asked her if she got it.  No response period. I know her computer is functioning just fine as she posts to a message board we're both a part of every single day. 

I'm feeling like I should go eat some worms.

    Yes, always. Since it's a baby gift I would definetly be bugged if she didn't tell you thank you. I made a point to send out thank you notes for all the gifts I received for DS (shower and after I had him). 

    Don't go eat worms...unless they are gummy! Big Smile

    Major, major pet peeve of mine...thanks for posting!  I always send a TY note, no matter what.  Drives me insane when I don't hear!

    I'll admit that I'm not the best with thank you notes.  However, I will always call to tell the person thank you.

    If it is family, then they get a thank you right then and there.  For friends, a phone call.  For anyone that I don't see very often, and especially for an important event, they get a thank you note.

    i would recommend sending this chick some FedExed worms (and not the gummy kind!)

    Ditto this.  Even if I get caught up and forget, I always respond to an inquiry like the one you said with a quick apology and thank you (and follow up with the missing TY note).

    Um, I always send thank you notes and if I didn't I would at least have the nerve to call and say it!

    maybe she didn't get the stuff? I would call to find out if she got it... and if she did... well, thats another story...

    If it is a first kid and a new mom, I'd let it go.  With my first, I was golden for gifts I received before DS was born.  Gifts received after, esp. 3-5 days after I was iffy on.  Some got a thank you note.  Some got no thank you note.  Some got 2 thank you notes.  Whoops.

    When I send a gift to a new mom, I always tell them do not waste any time writing me a thank you note.  And I mean it.  No envelopes, stamps, e-mails, anything.

    But that's just me.

    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
