A thank you note would have been the appropriate thing to do.

Regardless if a gift was mailed or hand delivered, a thank you note, should follow no later than 1-2 weeks after the gift was recieved. Its common courtesy to say thank you for a nice gift.

A thank you note would have been nice and polite, but I think today's society has forgotten about this kind of behavior. I went to a few weddings in the last 2 years, and only received one thank you note.

Depends on the occasion I think. If it was just a birthday thing than probably not. But if it was for a wedding or baby gift, then yes, should send a thank you note

Rude, but so much the way these days! I have a sister-in-law who is a respected judge and politician who has NEVER written a thank you note in her 52 years of life - not even for wedding presents.

That would be a gift with a string attached, which is really not a gift at all. When one gives a gift, they do not expect anything in return. If you choose to practice this method of gift giving, be upfront and let them know your expectations. That way you do not hold a grudge when thye don't do what you expect.....

traditionally, thank you notes should be sent (or some form of acknowledgement) for a gift.
I'm afraid many just don't care to bother anymore---but manners do matter!

'Thank you' notes are accepted, and expected, etiquette. In the future give the friend nice cards, but skip the gifts. Believe me, if this irritates you, can you imagine how many other people's generosity she has taken for granted?

Yes, she should have sent a thank you note. She is probably simply unaware of what etiquette would dictate in this situation. You did not receive a thank you note from her, just let it go. You've heard te phrase "ignorance is bliss", haven't you?

Did your friend sincerely thank you when you gave her the gift? Was she appreciative at the time? Perhaps she thinks she already expressed her appreciation in person. I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about it unless you want to risk damaging your friendship.

Whether you hand deliver it or send it through mail or however it gets to someone, it should be acknowledged with a written thank you, just my opinion.........
