Etiquette question (neighbor, people, card)

[milliebfit]

We recieved christmas gifts from a neighbor. I sent a fruit basket to them with a thankyou note on the little card that the florist provides. Do I need to send a hand written note as well? I want to do the right thing.

No, your fruit basket and thank you note are all that is needed, imo.

I think that was a generous and personal thank you.
well done.
good idea
thanks !

Your note and fruit basket may appear to be enough but I would suggest a hand written note and further suggest that you deliver it in person.

Where we live eye contact and face to face mean more than notes and gifts.

Since I am not am etiquette expert, this is merely my two cents worth.

I am so happy I am almost in tears...

To hear of someone with such good manners! You went above and beyond.

I was beginning to think that correct behavior and personal class was dying off.

Thank you for giving me a glimmer of hope.

i disagree and think an additional thank you note wouldbe overkill.

No, one thank you is enough and quite proper. People rarely send thank you notes anymore and I think it's a habit everyone needs to get back in.

I think you're one of very few people that has good manners. You did the right thing.
I wouldn't send another thankyou note but next time you see her, mention how good the fruit was.
