OK so this isn't a hill I want to die on, but more of a vent than anything. We were supposed to head OOS today for my family's Christmas party but because of snow coming this weekend we decided not to go. I'm already bummed abuot missing my cousins but that's another story.
Anyhow - I bought a small gift for my cousin's baby to take with us when we went. I thought about returning it once we knew we weren't going to make the trip, but, I decided to go ahead and send it to her anyhow. According to USPS tracking, it should have arrived on Wednesday morning (and she's home all day; doesn't work). I texted my cousin to let her know we weren't coming, and that I sent a package for the baby and she should be receiving it any time now. Well, not only did she never text me back, but I also never received a call/text/e mail/fb message to let me know that she got it or to say thank you. I just get frustrated with this, because our family normally isnt' the type not to acknowledge a gift. Not only did my mom make sure my sister and I acknowledged gifts - she made us send thank you cards for EVERYTHING no matter if it was for Xmas, birthday or whatever. A phone call or e mail wasn't enough in her book. Like I said it's not a hill I want to die on, but I'm just a little perturbed about it and probably won't plan to send any more gifts after this unless we actually make the trip.
Re: disgruntled
Ditto! What happened to being polite?
I would definitely drop her a note to make sure she got it since so many packages are stolen this time of year. I actually had a package stolen from our lobby this week; it was just a $20 gift I bought DH but I was annoyed. If it was too big to fit in their mailbox the mailman could have left it anywhere.
If she did get it, this will be her reminder to send a thank you, and if not you can take it up with USPS.

Oh, I would definitely be peeved! Maybe give her a call and ask if she received it, sometimes people don't take texts seriously and it's better to bite the bullet and just call them. You can explain that you just wanted to make sure that the received it. . .
My mom made us do the same thing with thank-you cards, and I think my DH's family is a bit overwhelmed with all of the cards that I send now :P
