thank you for a thank you?
Permalink Closed

I had company a couple weekends ago and on Friday received a package from my guest with a throw blanket and a nice thank you note for our hospitality.  I know it's not usually necessary to thank someone for thanking you, but I have never gotten a hostess gift in the mail at a later date.  Should I send her a thank you note back, or is that unnecessary?

i did some work stuff for a client of mine and they sent me a 100.00 gift card to lowes as a thank you.  i just called and said thanks so the cycle didn't continue.  but it feels strange not to send a thank you card for such a great gift.  i totally understand how you feel.  bottom line is, i think a simple call would be enough.

Yeah, I think a call is good to thank them and to let them know you received the package.  It's a pet peeve of mine when I send something to someone and they don't even acknowledge that they got the gift.


I don't think a card is necessary, a call is just fine.

I agree with the other girls I would place a quick phone call for the gift.  That was very sweet of them to send you the blanket!

I agree with the other girls.  Just a call should be fine, that way they know you received the gift.  or you could always send detroit's nascar crock pot to thank them.
