Thank you for group gift from coworkers
ke
tired of these!
My coworkers had a baby shower for me which included a collection for a
wonderful stroller. I would like to thank everyone who contributed,
but I don't want to make anyone feel like I am checking up on who
contributed. Should I send a thank you note to everyone who signed the
card for me? Or should I write one note that thanks everyone
generically for the lovely shower/food/stroller? I've seen that sort
of note displayed at the desk of the person who organizes collections
for coworker gifts.
I do plan to write thank you notes to people who gave gifts on their
own (i.e. outside of the group gift), and to the kind people who
planned the shower. I am just not as sure how to thank the group for
its gift.

notes to those who signed the note, you might miss someone who
contributed, but didn't sign for some reason.

I will not, no matter how "good" the deal, patronise any business which sends
unsolicited commercial e-mail or that advertises in discussion newsgroups.

The latter. IIRC, that's what Miss Manners suggested,
and it makes sense to me. You don't want to dig too deep into
who was a contributor and who wasn't. Just thank all your
co-workers and post it in a public place.
Best wishes,

I don't know what Miss Manners would say is the proper thing, but for
office parties like yours, the grateful recipient would write a generic
thanks to all and give it to the person who was in charge of organizing
and that person would generally attach the thank you note to a list of
participants for their review. You would receive the note, read it,
cross your name off and pass it on.
