I always made my kids write thank you notes right away. I told them, if the person was thoughtful enough to give you a gift, you can be thoughtful enough to write out a thank you. Sometimes it was done under protest (they would rather have procrastinated) but I insisted. I think it's the right thing to do. I went to a shower & wedding last summer and the couple never sent out thank yous to anyone. It blows my mind!!
