Write the thank-you notes and mail them promptly. Ideally your notes should go out one to three weeks after receiving the gifts. A speedy thank-you note lets the gift giver know that her gesture was important enough to merit a prompt response. If you forget or get behind, send one anyway. It's not as good as a quick reply, but a late thank-you note is better than no note at all.

Write the note in your own handwriting. Never type thank-you notes. Handwriting is much more personal.

Thank the person specifically for what they gave. Add a few details to show you really noticed and valued the gift. Say something like, "Thank you so much for the pink and green dress." That sounds much better than a generic "Thank you for the gift," or "Thanks for the baby clothes."
