@Sooner No,I don't need a new hobby,but you need to learn manners

[Janey2]

If I take my time and money to buy a gift I expect a thank you. I would like a hand written thank you, but I would accept an e mail. At least the gift was acknowledged. I do not care that times change, manners never go out of style.

@Luvsmyfam 

Please clarify .... did this woman actually open your gift while you were there ... and you saw this happen?

If not, there's a chance your name tag or card (or whatever) got separated from your lovely gift and she has no idea who sent it.

It would depend on how well I knew this person and how close we were, but I would somehow "check to make sure the gift was received" since there was no acknowledgement.

Sorry, but not thanking for a gift is inexcusable!   Grr!

Every shower I've attended I've received a hug, a one on one conversation & a sincere Thank You...those are the things that matter to me so I don't need-want a card or email.

@Luvsmyfam @I agree with you that sending a thank you card is proper etiquette. Today it really seems to be a hit or miss if you ever receive one.  I would be annoyed but it's one of those things that you just have to move past. Going forward, you know to not put much effort into a future gift for this person.

I have to mention my nephew and his wife.  They came to my house last Christmas and I gave them a small combined gift plus an inexpensive toy for their two year old little boy.

 I don't know who of the two wrote out and sent the thank you card, but in January  I received one from them. I was  thanked for having them over ( I usually do), for the gifts and just in general acknowledging the fact that I put a lot of effort into having people over for the holiday!  That was such a pleasant surprise!

I think it is still courtesy to send thank you cards.  I am not on facebook, so even if someone did a thank you that way, I would never see it, and that doesn't show much effort in my opinion.  People took the time to pick out a gift and to attend the shower, so at least the recipient could take a few minutes and do thank you cards.

You  could always call the honore' and ask if she (they) liked their gift.

Sending a email is very tacky and lazy in my opinion

It's better than nothing.  At least the gift was acknowledged.

I may be old school but, in my book "thank you" never goes out of style. It can be a thank you note, a phone call, or an email.

That makes no difference. It shows a grate-

ful spirit....something much needed these 

days.
