  I mentioned how it was great seeing them at the shower, thanked them for their specific gift, and mentioned how anxious we were to use it. (Or made a joke about DH using it, depending on what it was.)

  I try to personalize all my thank you notes as much as I can.....

  Lets say I got a bouncer from my aunt...

  Dear Aunt Sally,

  It was so nice seeing you at my baby shower. I loved that you were able to celebrate this very special time in my life with me. I love the bouncer you brought for the baby. I am sure she will love it. You will have to come over and see her "bounce" in it.

  Love,

  Me

  I personalized all of my TY's. I had someone keep a list of who bought me what...and used the list to write the ty's. I thanked them for coming to the shower, celebrating with us, and individually for what they actually got. One person got us a gift card, and I wrote to her a thanks for the card + what we used it for (b/c it bought a lot of stuff we needed that we hadn't gotten.)

  They were not very personal.  I have a hard time writing TY's and get writer's block, also.  I said something along the lines, TY for the _____ gift, I am so glad you were able to attend our shower and can't wait for you to meet this baby.  Some were a little more personal, ie. a friend told me she was expecting at my shower and I shared my joy about her upcoming arrival.

  After writing a million TYs for our wedding (last July) and writing some more for the baby showers that were thrown for me, I've created a template of sorts, hope it's helpful!

  i started by thanking them for attending.  then i wrote about how much we loved their gift (i was specific) and how we can't wait to use it, etc.  i just got the last of my TY cards out today.  it felt so good to cross that off the list!
