I don't expect thank you notes for tips. Fortunately, our carriers (news and mail) do get a lot of tips this time of year (and deservedly so). Those cards and notes cost money -- something most of these folks don't have a lot of. To me, the thanks comes from my mail being delivered on time, my paper being in the driveway when I wake up in a readable condition.

Now, if I were giving a special gift of some sort (something I had made or whatever), then I would hope for a thank you note but wouldn't be too disappointed if I didn't get it.
