Thank you notes for grandparents

Do you write a thank you note for everything your parents or inlaws decide to give the baby? I am writing them for the big things, but every time I see them there is something new! I'm very grateful, but I'm starting to feel like all the thank yous will get excessive.

    Depends on the grandparents but I usually just call the parents and grandparents a day or so after and thank them again. I did this for our wedding shower gifts. My sister did not thank my grandma for her gift (other than at the time of opening) and grandma proceeded to bad mouth my sister for a few weeks lol . I learned from that and decided to make the little extra effort.

    For small things like an outfit or pack of cute burp-cloths from my mom or sister, I just than them at the time and then make sure to mention how cute whatever it is they gave me is later so they know that I really do appreciate it.  For anything bigger or anything given at a shower, I will definitely be writing them thank-you notes as well as saying thank-you at the time they give the gift to me.

    My mom would shoot me if she got four thank you cards a week. Verbal thanks/verbal "mom, stop spending so much money" and then a really nice card and a 'grandma' gift when pumpkin comes.

    My in-laws are constantly getting us stuff. They told me not to worry with the thank you notes after awhile. It was just getting to be too much. That said, you could wait until after the birth and just do one for everything, like PPs have suggested.

    My MIL is the queen of thank you cards. She will write you a thank you card when you go for dinner at her house. It's irritating. I try to write thank you cards to her fairly often because I know how much she appreciates them. That being said, she often has something for LO like a pair of shoes or a onesie. I have just verbally thanked her for those gifts, but she also have us some money for home renos we're doing and I wrote her a nice card for that. She is also co-hosting my shower with SIL and I will also write her a card then.
