You're not. You feel obligated to send a thank you, but don't want to put forth any effort, hence giving the task to someone, or in this case, something else.

No different than an CEO telling his secretary to send an anniversary gift to his wife.

Which is also a thoughtless, dick move.

Especially if he's also secretly dating said secretary.

Which he would never do because he is a hard working, moral, upstanding citizen.

That would be yes. What about a token return gift to another business that you actually hate the ceo of but have to send it anyway due to political reasons?
