Thank You's for work peeps

Maimes10 · October 2013

A group of people at work all donated money and I ended up with a really generous gift certificate to Babies R Us to finish my registry. There are 9 signatures on the card. I don't have anyone's home addresses. Is it totally inappropriate to send and individual email thank you to each of them?

TIA.

Could you do a thank you card and drop it off to their desk/office?

I wish, we are a pretty virtual office. 9 folks signed the card and only 2 of them actually work in an office, all others work from home.

I would at least try to get their home address first. If they don't respond or say a thank you isn't necessary, then I'd say a thank you e-mail is sufficient. There's really not a whole lot else you can do if the only way you guys communicate is through cyberspace.

This is what I did for my work shower. But for 99% of the work showers I've attended, I've just received an e-mail thank-you. Not sure if it's proper or not, but I'm not offended by it, and none of my coworkers seem to be either

I think a really thoughtful email is OK in this situation. You can also thank them profusely in person (which I am sure you ahve already done).

Maybe you could give stamped envelopes with the addressee's name on it to someone in HR, tell them they are thank you notes and ask if they could complete the address portion. I've done this with sympathy cards in the past, our secretary doesn't mind and it keeps peoples home addresses private.
