		<description>don&#039;t think a thank-you is cheesy at all, it&#039;s a lost art these days. 

You&#039;ve already got it covered i think. I was taught to say along lines of &quot;thankyou for [insert gift]. Then something about why it was appreciated e.g. i didn&#039;t have a nice set of wine glasses; i was thinking of buying that cd; that&#039;s one of my favourite movies; the earrings will match well with a new dress i just bought, etc etc -- this lets the person know you appreciated the thought they put in cos you show you&#039;ve thought of how you&#039;ll use the gift. 

as for an ending it depends on how close you feel to her. If you&#039;re all tight and stuff then &quot;love&quot; otherwise stick to &quot;yours sincerely&quot;

so letter eg:
Dear [name],
Just a note  to thank you for having me/us to dinner on [........].The meal was delicious [or something like house was beautifully decorated]. Thankyou for the earrings they are very pretty and i [have worn them already/will wear them with/etc].
thanks again
yours sincerely

		<description>Dear Boyfriend&#039;s Mom,

Thank you for the beautiful jewelry. I will enjoy them very much. I&#039;ve enclosed a picture of your son and me.

Fondly,
Me

Or something like that. Think KISS--Keep It Simple Stupid. You don&#039;t have to go on and on about how much you love them and how you&#039;ll wear them all the time and how she&#039;s such an awesome person. In fact, you don&#039;t even have to add that last line about enclosing the picture. Let her find it. It might be thanks enough.</description>

		<description>be genuine.  say how you really feel.  that the earrings are pretty and you love the necklace.  you can add that you&#039;ve already worn it twice to event a and event b.  or that they are your new favorites.  tell her how happy you feel to be accepted by your boyfriend&#039;s family and how much it means to you (if that is true).
I think there is no harm in writing love, but if that feels uncomfortable, you can just sign your name without a saluation.
the trick is be real, be authentic, be genuine.  from the heart.
if it&#039;s not true, don&#039;t say it.  untrue things are what sounds cheesy.
good luck.</description>

		<description>Just call her in person to reiterate how cute you thought the gift was and schedule another visit with her. Mother&#039;s like to see their kids that is the best gift or thank you that we can get.

A thank you note to me seems like something you do whenever you get a gift and you do it because of protocol not because you really mean it. 

So the call  seems more genuine.</description>
