How do I send out a baby shower thank you card for a lot of gifts?

baby gifts
Sara L. asked:


A family that is friends with me and my husband got us 2 big baskets and 1 toy box filled with great baby shower gifts, It is a LOT of stuff!
I just want to know how to send out a thank you card for that, I know you are suppose to kind of include a note about everthing you got from a person in the card so that it feels more personal, but I don’t think I can thank them for every individual thing and have it fit in one card…what should I do?

Just be more general. Let them know how much you enjoyed opening your gift and you can’t wait to share everything with baby. My favorite is to take a picture of all of the gifts and the guest of honor to put in the card to show how happy you are.

I would just write thank your for all your gifts. I’m sure they don’t expect to to write each thing individually.

If there is something in particular that you like that is out of the baskets and toy box then mention those especially. Otherwise I think it would be okay to thank them for all the wonderful and thoughtful presents that filled the 2 baskets and toy box, without naming each individual thing.

Lots of people receive gift baskets for gifts. The easiest thing to do in a thank you card is just say “We really appreciated the gift baskets and toy box. That was a really thoughtful gift. Thank you so much.” You definitely don’t need to list everything they got you, and they know what they got for you so it’s not like they will care if it’s listed.

Dont try to thank her for EACH thing in the baskets! Just express how grateful you are that she was so generous and that you loved her creativity or something.

simple. pick a couple things they got in the basket for you and write them in there and say thanks for everything else.

example…. thanks for the onesies you got us and a the baby bibs and all the other nice stuff!!

thank them for the toybox filled with all the goodies. if there were any outfits, say you can’t wait to see how cute the baby will be wearing them. or everything is going to really come in handy. be general, but be sure to thank them for “all the great gifts”.

Just give a general thank you for all the gifts and how you are so appreciative that they tried to cover all your needs. Mention the toy box and how you plan to use it. Mention the baskets if you can use those as well (great laundry hampers, or for storing diaper supplies in other rooms). Just pick one or two of the things and mention those specifically. If you write a big long list, it sounds insincere- which I know is the last thing you want to be.

you could say something like..

“thank you for all the wonderful gifts we will put them to much use”

You don’t have to mention every single item. Just thank them for the ‘wonderful box of goodies’ or something, and maybe mention one or two specific items that are especially welcome or exciting.

(The reason they say to be ’specific’ is to avoid generic or preprinted ‘thank you cards’ that are horribly tacky.)

Definitely name as many things individually as you can, and preferably say what you plan to do with them or how you look forward to using them. Then say something like “… and all the other wonderful things you gave us!” to include the un-named ones. Generosity like that deserves extra time spent on an elaborate thank you card. The more gracious you are in thanking people the more likely it is they’ll want to be generous to you in the future. And since they went above and beyond it’d be thoughtful to send them at least one emailed picture of your baby using an item they gave you!
