Etiquette question
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.

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. |

good manners
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.
