Present perfect tense


Hello..

One of my students wrote the following in a letter to her friend :

"How are you? How is school? Have you enjoyed the presents i sent you?"

My question is : Is the use of the "Present Perfect" in this sentence possible here?

Thank you for your help..Emotion: embarrassed

Possible, but very unusual. If the gift is something that one gradually uses over time (as perhaps a large box of assorted chocolates or a season ticket to a venue), the present perfect is a possible choice.
