[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who don't send a quick thank you note or email stop receiving gifts.[/quote]

Then you aren't sending GIFTS, because gifts are given without any strings attached. [/quote]

That's actually not the definition of a gift.  At least not according to the dictionary.  Or Miss Manners.  Or any etiquette book.  I select and purchase gifts because I enjoy doing it, and because I want to get something the gift recipient will appreciate/enjoy.  If the recipient cannot bother to acknowledge the gift, I assume they did not like it/want it, and I stop purchasing gifts for that person - bonus, a person who has no sense of manners is not someone for whom I want to purchase gifts anyway.  :)[/quote]

Ha - from a Miss Manners column (January 8, 2017) titled, "Stop Sending Gifts to Relatives Who Never Acknowledge Them":
"Rather, let us assume that people who ignore presents find it a burden to receive them. Therefore, the most tactful response would be to stop sending them."
