Thank you notes, why send one?
Handwritten notes are warmer and more special than other forms of thank you. As long as kindness is performed, showing gratitude will be necessary. People who send gifts want to know not only that their presents were received, but also that they made you happy. Showing some warmth in return is the least you could do and not only for gift received but for kindness, attention and even for a nice dinner at a friend's house.

i wish you a happy weekend and hope you have enjoyed my etiquette tips of the week. Here it is the last Magic word:
me.”
“I’m Sorry”
Making and accepting apologies gracefully are acts of courtesy and maturity, and they are important for matters both big and small. Sincere apologies can defuse volatile situations; it’s hard for most people to remain angry with someone who takes responsibility for his own actions. “I’m sorry” is also one of the simplest and often kindest ways to express sympathy or regret. A job loss, an illness, a death in the family, or the loss of a pet are all times when you might say sorry. At these times, keep it simple—you don’t need to elaborate if you aren’t sure what else to say.

Good morning, happy summer time and let's continue with our Etiquette tips. Here is the third magic word:
“Excuse Me”
“Excuse me,” “pardon me,” and “I beg your pardon” all express your awareness that you’ve inconvenienced someone else. Make it a habit to excuse yourself whenever you do the following:
* Make a necessary interruption:“Excuse me, but you have a phone call.”
* Make a request: “Excuse me, but this is the non-smoking section.”
* Acknowledge an error: “Excuse me. I didn’t realize that you were already waiting in line.”
* Acknowledge a faux pas, such as burping: “Excuse me.”
* Leave a conversation: “Excuse me, I wish I could chat longer, but I have to leave now.”
* Get up from the table: “Please excuse me.”

Etiquette tips, continuing with The Magic Words.
“Thank You” and “You’re Welcome”
Most people know to express their thanks for gifts, favors, awards, and the like. But we sometimes fail to recognize and show appreciation for the everyday courtesies that come our way, such as when someone holds the door or lets us go ahead in line. Expressing thanks for these little services is a hallmark of civility.
When someone says, “thank you,” the best response is, “you’re welcome.” Don’t be bashful—accept the credit for your kindness. It’s subtle, but an “it was nothing” is actually saying that you place no value on what you did. By accepting thanks graciously you can also encourage the “thank-you” habit.

Good morning! Here is the etiquette tip of the day:
The Magic Words
They are NOT Just for Children.We learned them as children, but no mater your age these essential words are effortless to say and convey a wealth of meaning to others. They have a powerful ability to create positive interactions, so look for opportunities to use them every day.
I will post one of them every day.
“Please”
Using “please” expresses both respect and consideration for those with whom we’re interacting because it changes a command into a request. It sets the tone for whatever follows and is one of most important universal manners.
