If a gift you've sent hasn't been acknowledged, consider a gentle reminder or a casual mention in conversation to ensure it was received. Avoid sounding accusatory; miscommunications and errors in delivery do happen. If it's important to you that your gesture is recognized, a straightforward approach—asking if they liked the gift—can open up the topic without making the recipient feel pressured. Remember, the goal is to confirm receipt, not necessarily to solicit gratitude.
