[quote=Anonymous]Many gift givers are pretty terrible and send thoughtless, cursory gifts. Sending thank yous only encourages more of the same, and unfortunately there's no great way to communicate to please stop (yes, I have tried). E.g., Baby bible stories for my newborn (I'm not religious), holiday fruitcakes, and unwanted/inappropriate clothing. Delivery tracking is generally pretty reliable these days such that sending a note to confirm receipt isn't necessary. I'm personally happy to give gifts and actually enjoy doing so. I don't need a thank you and really don't understand why others do, either. Shouldn't the satisfaction of giving a gift be enough?[/quote]
