Hello Hubbers!
I am 36 weeks pregnant and was just given a very generous baby shower at work by my co-workers. Everyone had pitched in and got me tons of diapers and clothes and a few other adorable gifts. In order to show my gratitude and appreciation, I was thinking to send one thank you note to them, or bake a treat for everyone before I go on leave. Everyone had signed one card for me and most of the gifts were not formally wrapped or signed.
Does anyone have any other suggestions as to how I could return my gratitude affordably?

Congratulations on your upcoming happy event! If you have time to send personal notes to those you know who specifically hosted or contributed to a gift, those are always greatly appreciated. I love you idea of baking a thank-you treat! Everyone would enjoy that, I'm sure. You can also place a large thank-you card next to the tray of cookies, etc., so munchers can pick it up and read it while they enjoy the treat.
Your coworkers sound wonderful - I know they will love getting an email right after the baby arrives, with a photo or two attached. You can reiterate in that message (crafted ahead of time, before you leave for the hospital) how much you appreciate everything, and how very welcome all the baby things will be when you take your sweet little one home.
Thank you Marcy!
Great idea on the big card next to some goodies to share with the team! Since I have most of my team listed as FB friends, I can post some baby arrival pics to them there.

We have been invited to a baby shower. Both men and women were invited. My husband is flabbergasted and says it is in bad taste (primarily because he doesn't want to go, I think). He says it is wrong.I say, why not? I'm actually relieved, since it probably means we won't have to play stupid parlor...

It's silly but sometimes I notice that people sometimes take for granted the people that are closest to their hearts. And so our thanks are said casually and for politeness sake. And because that is what we've learned in kindergarten. :-) But do we ever really pause for awhile and truly...
