Very nicely written especially the part about gender (one in particular not sending thank you notes) I make my own and love sending and receiving thank you notes.

Alice, I am not the etiquette expert. However, my advice is that you write to each family member individually. Then, wiithin the body of the letter you could say something like, “I appreciate this gesture by you and all of my loved ones so very much.” Or, along those lines.

Other experts want to weigh in?

I have had a scholarship named for me by friends and family. When I address the note, do I say Dear Jane and Mike or do I say Dear Jane, thank you and Mike. Please let me know.

Notes, like snail mail, is becoming a dying breed. My choice to send a note depends on the person giving the gift. To my immediate family, with whom I am in constant contact, I rely on verbal thank yous.

To a co-worker or boss, I try to always give a hand written note. I don’t think an email is appropriate response and this makes it personal. I try to mention what I’m doing with the gift (or what I bought with the gift card).

The nice thing about notes is you can always throw them away after reading them, cutting down on the amount of paper you keep. And with the technology available, I scan some to keep in a computer file.
