I found a solution for this problem about 20 years ago. When ever I send someone a gift and do not receive a thank you, here is what I do. I wait about 3 months and then I send them a note that says.

I have made a gift giving decision for all future birthdays, Christmas, weddings, anniversary and other occasions where I would send you a gift. I love you dearly but am giving the amount I would send or spend on you to St Jude's Childrens hospital. I know you support that and understand that they need our help and support much more then any of us. They always thank me and truly appreciate the help. Thank you for your understanding.
