I'm not sure where else to post this question, and while it isn't exactly "entertaining related", I think you ladies probably know the most about proper etiquette.
My birthday was on the 14th and yesterday I received a box of cookies and chocolates from a couple that DH went to high school with and we meet up with a couple of times a year. Of course I will be sending a thank you card but the gift was totally unexpected and the kicker is, it was one of their birthdays just the week before. I wished her a happy birthday but I didn't give her anything-because we've never exchanged gifts in the past.
So, wwyd in this situation? Would you just send the thank you note and make a reminder for yourself for next year that a gift should be given? Should I send a gift with the thank you note? Or send them something for Christmas or New Years (I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of stating a new precedent of holiday gift giving along with birthday gift giving-money is tight enough during this time of the year.) Or, is there another option that I've yet to think of?
TIA!
Re: proper etiquette ? wwyd?
Send a TY and chalk it up to a one time thing. They were thinking of you this year.
ETA: if you send Christmas cards add them to your list, if they are not already.
I agree with this.
