Everyone can text. Even young children.

She already thanked you, but even if she didn't, let it go. It's not a big deal.

Expect no, but I try to always do an email or written thank you note.

No. It isn't.

Yes it is. Written thank you notes serve the joint purposes of 1) acknowledging the gift -- so the person who gave it knows you received it, and 2) saying thank you. If you are given the gift in person, you say "Thank you," and now there is no reason for a note -- you said thank you, and the person who gave it knows you got it. If I send you flowers, or mail you something, or donate to your honeymoon registry, there is now the need for you to both let me know you received the gift, and thank me. So a note is now appropriate.

Just because you repeat your answer does not make it true

The only time I really care is when I've shipped something, and like the confirmation that the recipient actually got it, which can be done via text. When I've physically handed something to the recipient, and they've verbally thanked me, I don't expect a follow up. Especially when the gift was for their child, and probably Playdoh.

She did thank you.

If the person thanks you face to face they don't have to give a written thank you.

I think this is a very sane response.

Would you expect a thank you?

I usually don’t say anything for birthday party gifts but if my adult friend gave my child a gift, I always thank them.

It sounds like your friend did thank you.
