re: Are 'Thank You' notes no longer something you're expected to send..

Most people think I am a little nuts because I send a handwritten thank you for even the small gifts

Nothing wrong with that.
People def remember your kindness for taking the time to do it.
Several years ago I had a manager from another division of our company travel with me to show me some vendor shops and help introduce me to folks.
I sent him a thank you card and that old guy must have really appreciated that because he talked me up to people all the time and eventually helped me get a promotion.

Had some friends of friends come hang out with us at our Mardi Gras spot one year. The wife mailed us a thank you note. They are now welcome anytime for parades and have become friends
