I like receiving thank-yous and I usually stop giving things to people who don't respond with some sort of acknowledgement. It's not the accolades I am after, but rather I want to know the item was received, not lost in the mail, whatever. However, if I don't hear anything I don't let it get to me (usually) and I still plan on doing my best to treat the next person the way I would like to be treated.
