Thank You Notes

My co-workers were very generous and about 7-10 of them got together and pitched in to get us a BRU gift card.  What is the best etiquette, can I send ONE thank you note to my office thanking the group or do I need to send each person an individual thank you note?  Thanks so much for your help.

If you know for sure who contributed, I'd thank them with individual notes.

My co-workers did something similar when I got married (gift card to Home Depot since they knew we were remodeling our kitchen).  I wrote individual thank you notes.

And if they all work in the same physical space / share a break room or conference area, I'd bring in a little snack too - cookies or something.

My work had a shower for me...there were 8 ladies there so I knew who to write thank you notes to.

Where I have been employed in the last few yeas and contributed to showers the MTB or BTB has just written one thank you card for everyone and brought in either donuts, cookies, bagels, etc.  The card usually just says "From the ?? Group" so that those that didn't contribute (and there are always some) aren't made to feel bad.

If you know who contributed I think individual cards are necessary. If you don't then one card is ok.

I'm writing thank you notes for my work shower right now, and I'm writing individual notes for most of the joint gifts. There was one gift from the whole building, so I'll write one note for that and give to the administrator.

This. :-) What a nice gesture.

You need to write individual notes.  I can't tell you how many group gifts I got...
