" An acquaintance surprised me with a holiday gift. Is it impolite if I don&amp;#039;t reciprocate? I wasn&amp;#039;t planning on giving her a present. It may feel a bit awkward, but a sincere &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; is all that&amp;#039;s needed. P.S. Tell her, &amp;quot;Teri, you shouldn&amp;#039;t have! You&amp;#039;re so kind. The bracelet is lovely. Thank you.&amp;quot; Once you&amp;#039;ve expressed your appreciation, the exchange can end there \u2014 especially if you&amp;#039;d like to avoid the start of an annual gift-giving tradition. If you feel particularly touched by her thoughtfulness, you can write her a thank-you note, but that&amp;#039;s optional once you&amp;#039;ve already said thanks in person.
