    This is only my opinion. It will depend upon the recipient. Some people, like myself equate the two and may even prefer email. Others still prefer a handwritten, snail mailed note or card. Senior citiizens, especially will fall into the second category. Some people just like to have concrete things that they can save for sentimental reasons. I have a niece who is 11 that saves every card ever received.

    In addition, was the gift received for a more informal occasion such as birtthday, get well or "just because"? An informal response is more acceptable for an informal giift. On the other hand if the gift was received as part of a formal occasion or manne; such as a wedding present or from business contact, the more formal, written note is more acceptable.

    The only method I feel is not appropriate is a thank you form letter. I include the kind of note that you have written and reuse for future use.

    Always make such things personal.
