I try to for older family members - I just made DH write a ton of them this afternoon!

I always send thank you notes. If someone can take the time to shop and post a gift, I can spend two minutes acknowledging their gift. It's a pain sometimes but I always do it.

I'm a nerd and LOVE writing notes, still a snail mail fan. So yes, I always send a thank you card.

I love writing notes but feel like time escapes me, so I try to send a timely thank you - email, text, phone call - and get cards out in the mail if possible.
The thread actually reminded me to write out the thank yous for DS's birthday. I ordered photo cards. I do that a lot and write little messages on them, I don't feel pressured to write a novel when there's a cute picture

@chopsuey119: you know what's amazing? Sincerely Ink app! I use it all the time. I'll take a photo of DS with the gift, type a little thank you and you can send directly from the app. No need to handwrite, stamp or mail. They have really cute templates.

I always try to send thoughtful and personalized thank you's for gifts. Although immediately after my LO was born the gifts poured in and it was soooo overwhelming. It felt like every time I saw anyone there was a new gift or even a gift from someone I didn't even know! (Mothers coworkers etc,) I feel a little bad but i didn't write a single thank you post baby. I was just so overwhelmed being a new mom and of course not sleeping I didn't have the time or emotional energy. If people poo pooed about that then who cares to them. At the time i could have just done without the ten billionth crocheted blanket or sweater.
