thank you notes
Post-gift correspondence
Thank you notes are short written messages expressing gratitude, typically sent after receiving a gift, attending an event, or being shown hospitality.
The form ranges from handwritten cards to emails, though traditional etiquette favors paper correspondence for formal occasions like weddings or job interviews: She spent the weekend writing thank you notes for her graduation gifts.
