So I mailed out the box. Yes it had stickers and glitter. I even handmade little clouds, it was painted and each piece was picked out with great thought. Tea and coffee mugs, special order tea was purchased and tied in twine to give it that special touch. Face masks and lotion that weren’t to feminine. Lemon cookies and a few snacks with a word search to keep him busy. Yes I spent close to three days decorating the box and two days tying twine and matching tissue paper.
box received last Tuesday hello Usps. tracking not stalking. Even my most horrible and rude customers after we get through it all to the end and gift package is mailed I get a thank you it was amazing. I deal with some very high end clients I even have a small realtor that gives one to each new house they sel. These are all individually made for each person or couple that receive them. And even if we yell at each other through the process I get a thank you.
i am officially crazy and what did I expect. What would make me think that someone that could not respond have enough manners to say thank you. I am also trying to take responsibility because I shouldn’t do things expecting a thank you. I never really thought that I did but I guess I did. I guess to me thank you is having manners. But I don’t have manners expecting a thank you. That is not what goes through my head when I start a box. I just think what I can do to make them happy or bring a little happiness to the persons day.
i am crazy and I needed the wake up call. And I will not ever except a thank you for a box again. Honestly it just always meant that I had made someone smile and it was appreciated.
my boxes and gift baskets will go out with a smile of I have done my best. And I will be proud of myself and that will be enough. What a wake up call.
