It's nice to know that the people you have given to have at least appreciated what you've done/give them. Don't let that deter you though! @ James – It’s really unfortunate you’ve experienced that.

I've bought wedding presents, birthday presents, etc. for people and never got a thankyou back (in written or verbal form). It makes you not want to bother if they can't show appreciation. <abbr><em>James @ Organize IT’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.organizeit.co.uk/2009/03/13/interesting-links-parkinsons-law/" rel="nofollow">Interesting Links: Parkinson’s Law</a></abbr></em> The thankyou note is definitely becoming a thing of the past, which is a shame and I think also a little rude.

It's such a nice touch to send a personalized note. I think if you're extremely short on time perhaps an email but it's extra special, especially now a days, to send a physical note. Thanks for your comments! @ Nadia and Daphne – I agree completely. It’s such a nice touch to send a personalized note.

I try to send thank you cards whenever someone gives me a present or does something nice like take me out to lunch or whatever. As much as I love email, I think actually getting a card means more and brings a smile and who doesn't like to smile? :) <abbr><em>Nadia-Happy Lotus’s last blog post..<a href="http://happylotus.com/2009/03/13/how-to-be-green-without-spending-too-much-money-an-interview-with-renee-loux/" rel="nofollow">How To Be Green Without Spending Too Much Money: An Interview with Renée Loux</a></abbr></em> Hi Sherri,
