Yes, me too. We know times have moved on but it's still nice to get an acknowledgment at least.

I00% in agreement. I don't even expect a letter; a thoughtfully worded email would be nice!!

Absolutely. It’s a sore point with me and Ds and DIL.

Agree with you, Quizzer.
I find it so rude when there's no acknowledgement of a gift!

My mother was brought up in a middle class Edwardian household and was a stickler for etiquette.
Every Christmas and birthday I was obliged to write a thank you letter for every present received even if I saw that person every day.
In modern times of texts and emails is it too much to ask for just an acknowledgement of a gift?
