Not thank someone for a present? I gave a newish friend a small Christmas gift partly as a thank you for doing something for me (I didn't ask- she offered.)
Because of lockdown and her being at work, I dropped it through her letter box. She lives alone and the pets can't have destroyed it (joke.) I know her through a Spanish conversation class but we've not met in person for ages, just by video.
After I dropped the present off I assumed she'd text. Nothing. I waited for a few days and thought as it was near Christmas she may have been busy.
She still hasn't mentioned it at all. We've had 2 online meetings (with lots of other people) so I didn't want to raise it in front of the others.
I am now kicking myself that I didn't message her weeks ago. But what could I have said? I know she received it as she lives alone. I feel really snubbed. I only spent under a tenner but I did wrap it nicely and included a card.
It's making me feel really awkward. I'm struggling to understand why someone wouldn't say thank you. Without going into details, the 'favour' didn't warrant thanks, but I did it as a gesture. We aren't youngsters- both in our 50s.
WWYD? It feels far too late to ask her now, but I am really puzzled.
