Why would you even bother? Bad manners shouldn't be rewarded - whether or not the gift was handmade.
If you had spent the $200 on store bought items, would you be any less pissed off that there was no acknowledgment?
I wouldn't.
I'd check online that it was delivered (and if it was insured, you should be able to see a signature depending on the service you used).
Then I'd give it another week to wait for a lovely hand written thank-you note (or email) for your lovely gifts.
That should give you your answer for the next time a gift is expected. ;-)
