[header] How to deal with not being thanked for a gift [title] Find a quiet, private place to talk. [step] If you decide to confront the person you gave the gift to about their lack of thanks, do so face to face and in a private spot. You may choose a neutral spot, like a coffee shop or a park bench. 
Or you may invite the person over for coffee or dinner at your home and have the talk then. Try to choose a setting where you can talk honestly and freely with the person.
