Since my son was born (12 years now!) he has always done some kind of "thank you". When he was a tiny baby I wrote with a photo, as soon as he could mark a piece of paper in a any way shape or form he did everyone a thank you picture. This progressed to signing his name, writing thanks plus name, to a letter. Now he fashions really funny colourful letters on the computer & sends them.
As a child I was always taught to say thank you & write letters, pictures etc. Its good manners but the only thank yous I get are from my sisters kids (obviously!) I never know if what I have bought other kids are liked or appreciated.
