I'm "new school" enough to realize other forms of thank yous are acceptable but NO thank you at all is still not acceptable. It is just plain rude, ungrateful, and inconsiderate. You don't want to be bothered writing or saying thank you, then don't accept the gifts and tell the gift giver why. That you are too lazy and have not enough manners to be bothered to acknowledge the gift.

I was always taught the rule that a thank you card was to be sent whenever you couldn't thank the person who gave the gift or gesture in person.
Especially if someone mails a gift the receiver should at the very least acknowledge receipt and say thank you. I am fine with that being in the form of a phone call or email instead of an actual card. Requiring it to be in one form only is kinda anal to me. JMO
When I was a kid people wrote cards because they were cheap and the long distance phone call was expensive. Now it is the card that is expensive so as long as they say thank you in whatever way they felt best about I am fine.
