Saying thank you.

I write thank you notes for gifts received. I think it is rude not to. If someone goes to the trouble to purchase a gift and give it to you I believe you need to at the very least acknowledge their effort. I will be teaching my son to do the same. As he is only 2.5 yrs old right now, I have him simple draw a picture to put in with notes that I send. Often I will try to take a picture of him using the gift and send it as well.

I need to get into the habit of doing that, especially when my son receives gifts for his birthdays. I have never sent a thank you card only emails or called people to thank them. Maybe I should because its polite to do so.

I do write thank you notes. It is the polite thing to do. If I don't send it in the mail I will at least send an email to the person.

well i think that it is important to teach kids how to write thank yous...i cant tell you how many showers and weddings i have been to where people do not take the time to write a thank you note... when i got married, i had 7 showers and wrote thank you notes to EVERYONE! even if you email your thanx, it doesnt matter, just let the giver know that you are grateful.

I send out thank notes or cards for every gift I receive as I think it is the proper thing to do. I also get very upset when I do not even get a phone call from the recipeint of a gift that I had taken the time to give. I recently gave my niece 50 thank you cards for her 7th child as a hint that someone out there would like to receive one seens it is the 7th baby shower without a thank you. It may have been rude but after that many showers and the same people were invited I thought it should be a proper thing to do. After I receive the thank you I aways call the person and let them know that I received it and that I was glad they liked the gift and if they needed to exchange it to let me know. hugs

I will say thank you when someone send gifts to me. I think it is important to say thank you to everyone who had help you or gave some gifts to you. These two words could make others also happy because he/she had got a confirmation form you.

Well, honestly speaking, I do not get that many gifts. The gifts I get, I normally received them by hand from the person. Or occasionally, they will be delivered by the postman. But yes, I will always say thank you to the sender. :)

I send thank you's for everything and make sure I say thank you to service people like at the bank etc. I taught my children to do the same but find many families lacking in remembering to do this. I have one nephew and his family that never say thanks. Many times I have went out of my way to do something special for their children and never hear a word!

I always send thank you mails, notes and letters to my friends. I will always do that coz i treasure them every minute in my life. They are like jewelry that shine in my life. No matter what happen i owe to them the happiness i have right now.
