Experts say not to underestimate the power of a "thank you." Kim Izzo, etiquette columnist, says, "It's making the effort.
People really appreciate getting mail that's not a bill, for one thing, and just taking that extra bit of time to write a thank you
note really means everything."
| | When to send a thank you |
| What's the appropriate time between receiving
a gift and sending a thank you? Ceri Marsh, etiquette columnist: Do it right away, and be strict with yourself. Give yourself a week
because if you wait longer then you put it off another week and then you feel dumb about acknowledging it. People like a thank
you note more than they even like a gift.
| | A hand-written note vs. an email |
"Almost never" is the answer given by many
etiquette experts. The only exception seems to be emailing a thank-you note for a job interview. It seems that even in this day of
online communications, a proper thank-you note should be handwritten.
Holiday, birthday, and other gifts should also be acknowledged with a handwritten thank-you note. We recommend that email thanks
are appropriate for a minor favor or a small gift, at most. An email thank you is better than nothing, but emailed thanks will never make
a gift-giver feel as valued as a handwritten note.
