=the Spiritualist Church does this as well as Christian Scientists.  Be grateful for the healers, but remember to thank God.  You are truly blessed.

do NOT give gifts of thanks for your promotion. you EARNED what you got. i know you must feel thankful and all that but they do not expect a gift and its not even really appropriate .the best "gift" you can give them is to continue to do your best and show them you deserve it!

Probably something along the lines of, "Thank You, Jesus, for sacrificing Yourself so that I could be saved!"

First, I don't know why you could not take your baby with you for a few moments to your kind neighbor's apartment.  But that wasn't your question. The first thing is of course to say thanks, being sure she understands how much she has helped. You probably already have that covered.  But the most important thing you can do to thank her is to offer to help her in some way--asking if she needs something from the store when you go out,  offer to babysit for her, any number of things that can make her day a little easier when you can make time for it. But the most basic thing is an almost forgotten tradition-- a handwritten note of thanks with a nice thank you card.

Keep it simple. Who do you want to thank? Do you have any words of humor or wisdom? Teachers usually are great people to thank, and they appreciate the recognition.

Thank You is the catch-all for compliments. Even if you don't agree, at least acknowledge that you have received one and say thank you, because the person who gave it meant it.

I wouldn't worry about it.  You got a thank you from the person you sent the gift to, so that seems fine to me.  I wouldn't expect a thank you from every single person in the office.  It would have been nice, but not necessary.  You weren't out of line.

prayformetoo, I feel very much like you. It's unpleasant people don't say "thank you". But maybe they have reasons?

The rule is...if the giver is in a different house from you, you NEED to send one.  Don't just send a blank one though!  Here is a fabulous guide on what to say:\n\nThere is a six-point formula to the proper thank-you: Learn it, know it, memorize it – and it will never fail you.\n\n1. Greet the Giver\n\n    Dear Aunt Sally,\n\nThat’s the easy part, but you’d be surprised how many people forget it. Dale Carnegie taught us people love to hear their own names and Direct Marketing is sure we also love to read them in ink. That’s right, ink. Blue-black is always the number-one choice, but black will suffice in a pinch. Don’t let a whimsical marker color be the most stunning part of your note: instead let the words sing without the amplification of rainbow hues. Even if your handwriting is poor, you must still hand-write your notes. Do not type them or, worse, use a word processor. No excuses.\n\n2. Express Your Gratitude\n\n    Thank you so much for the slippers.\n\nThis first paragraph seems like it would be the easiest, but it is actually the most complicated. Beware the just writing trap. You are not ‘just writing to say’ as in I am just writing to say; that’s stating the obvious. If the giver is reading, clearly you have already written. Therefore use the present-perfect tense, which essentially means write as if whatever you say is happening in the moment.\n\nAlso – and this is important – never directly mention money. ‘Thank you for the hundred bucks’ could instead be ‘Thank you for your generosity.’ All cash denominations become ‘your generosity’ or ‘your kindness.’ If you feel the giver overspent, the farthest you can go is appreciated: ‘Your generosity is appreciated,’ or ‘It is such an extravagant gift – your kindness is appreciated.’\n\nIf you’re writing to thank someone for an intangible (such as them putting you up at their place while you were in town for the weekend), first define what the intangible thing is, and then make the gift sound as attractive as possible. In other words, don’t say: ‘Thanks for letting us crash at your place.’ Instead say: ‘Thank you for your hospitality.’ Don’t worry if it sounds too simple; the point of writing the note is to create a simple expression of a heartfelt sentiment.\n\n3. Discuss Use\n\n    It gets very chilly here in the winter, so they will get a lot of use when winter comes.\n\nSay something nice about the item and how you will use it. Let’s say it’s something you actually love and use incessantly – then say so: ‘Ever since I got the slippers I have only taken them off to shower and go to work. I’d wear them to the office if I thought I could get away with it.’\n\nBut don’t lie, even though some etiquette books may tell you it’s okay. After all, there’s always a truth that can be extracted. Let’s say you hate the slippers. How to say thanks? Find the one thing about them that’s nice and discuss it – but don’t get carried away. ‘They are such a lovely shade of blue’ works, and is more honest than ‘These slippers make my heart sing like a choir of angels,’ which is overkill. If it was a gesture, like letting you stay at their place, you can follow the lines of ‘It’s so nice to make a personal connection while traveling. I really appreciated my time with your family.’\n\nIf the gift was cash, allude to how you will use the money, but do not itemize your planned purchases line by line, instead simply say: ‘It will be a great help when we purchase our new home/toaster/lava lamp/whatever.’\n\nYou can get arty here, but not flowery. It’s a fine line. Small, realistic statements like ‘I put the flowers on the kitchen table and they are still looking fresh and beautiful after a week,’ or ‘I don’t know which is more fun, actually using the Cuisinart, or reading recipes and thinking I could do that in the Cuisinart!’ Having fun is alright, so have at it.\n\n4.
