It is polite to recognize any gift with an acknowledgement.

However, the acknowledgement need not always be a note. Depending on the situation, sometimes a personal thank-you, or a thank-you by phone or e-mail may be appropriate.

What matters is that the giver of the gift knows that you received it, understood the intention behind why they gave it, (hopefully) that you appreciate the gift and will use it appropriately (so they are reassured that they chose your gift well), and through all of this that the social bonds between you are strengthened.

All that having been said, everyone likes getting a sweet note, because it is something you can keep to remind you of a kind person and the friendship you share with them.

Do you write a thank you for a thank you gift?

My "first instant" thought was, no-- enough is enough. Then I realized that, especially if the gift is shipped, the sender would very much appreciate assurance that the gift arrived. It is probably always appropriate to write a note (or at least give a direct verbal acknowledgment) after receiving a gift. There is a difference between receiving a "thank-you note" and receiving a "thank-you gift". Also, nobody would ever say that one should write a thank-you note for receiving a thank-you note, so that should wrap things up nicely. No!! If you send a thank-you note for your own thank-you there would be no point in them sending you one to begin with. If you do that what's going to happen? Are they going to send you another thank-you? And even after that? Is it just going to keep going?
