Thank you for hand me downs?

A woman that works with DH has a sister who had a baby about three months ago.  Today she brought in 2 boxes of newborn diapers that they baby has outgrown, and they won't use, and a bag of clothes and gave them to DH.  It was so incredibly nice of her and her sister (who we have never met).  What can I do to thank them for this?  I was thinking of making cookies for both of them, but I don't know if that's weird since we have never even met the sister.  Any ideas??  Thanks!

What's wrong with tracking down their address and sending a note? If you've never met them, cookies would have to go through the grapevine before getting to them... you don't know how long that will take!

Just bake them something delish and give it to DH to give to her with a little thank you not.

I did this for DH's coworkers who are giving us stuff. If he knows something that is a little more personal, then we're doing that. For example, one of the guys who gave us a bunch of stuff is a compulsive RedBull drinker, so he bought him a 6pack. I am making cookies for another lady, she is just thrilled that we're getting this stuff out of her house.

Agreed! I think a thank you note would be perfectly fine!

How about a card and a small BRU gift card?
