How to thank for a group gift?

Today at work our squadron gave us a card with a gift card inside. There are like 20 people who signed it. What would be the proper way to thank them? Do I give each person who signed a thank you card? Do I send out a mass email? Or do I do nothing at all and just verbally thank people when I see them? It is weird because most thank you cards are more specific, like thank you for the card and money, but I dont even know who gave money towards the gift card.

Wow - 20 people!!?? I had a hard time writing thank you gifts last week for group gifts from like 6 people! I don't know what the etiquette is, but I think writing 20 thank you cards is a bit extreme. Must be a better way...

I think I'd write one thank you to the group and give it to the person in charge or whomever you think led the group. Have him or her pass it around and / or post it in a common area.

@Shannon - that is a good idea. I know the secretary coordinated it, so I could give it to her.

Similar situation... when my daughter was in the hospital my work sent her fllowers. There are about 85 people in my office! LOL So I did just what Shannon said. I wrote one thank you card and gave it to my boss and she set it in a common area for everyone to see. That's probably the best way to go.

How sweet of them to do that for you! =)

Yup here at my job we do stuff like that all the time. The person just usually writes a note and puts it in the common area. Now if you get a gift from someone individually, you should write a separate thank you.
