Which is best: voice or text?

Has anyone ever given a gift they thought was very meaningful and they worked extremely hard to put it together perfectly? Then the person who received the gift did not seem very grateful? Not necessarily that they weren't grateful but they didn't really express their gratitude in the best way? I once worked really hard on a gift for a friend that I put together carefully and it took me weeks to finish. Then I finally got around to sending it and when it was received I also received a "thankful" TEXT message. I was a little bit heartbroken over this for some reason. I guess a text does not do the same as a call or even a thank you note. I had made other gifts for two other friends and received calls from them and it just made my day knowing that they truly appreciated what I had spent time on for them. I noticed the difference that it made from getting a text message to getting a phone call. There is just something about hearing someone's voice in expression of gratitude, even if it is on a voice mail. I learned a lesson from this and my hope is that I can change this by being so grateful and appreciative of what I receive from the people close to me and that I can have the heart to give them a call and tell them that. I am not saying that I want praise for the things I give to people and I do not expect any gift in return, I would just love their time more than anything and now I also realize that time is truly the best thing I can give back to people.
