To expect a thank you?

Two separate people. One my work colleague, other dhs. Gave my work colleague 2 big bags of clothes, only the good ones from Next and similar (the rest were put in charity bin) Left at work for her to pick up. Picked up on day I was off (she was on mat leave) No thank you message or in person when I saw her and baby.

Dh work colleague - gave good clothes and bouncer, moses basket and a few more bits. No thank you either.

If I were in that situation I would be so grateful. We could have sold them but thought it would be nice to pass them on.

Has gratitude gone out the window?

They probably are greatful they've not expressed it. I agree, it's a manners thing!
How hard is a thank you card?

It is rude but they’ve probably got a lot on and I’d be happy just to get rid of the stuff tbh

It’s basic manners. I wouldn’t be passing them anything else.
