What's the etiquette here?

So a friend of mine from college who I am not super close to and I haven't even seen in about 9 years mailed me a bunch of gifts off my registry. She probably spent close to $100 after shipping and everything. I had not invited her to any or my showers (she lives out of state) so the decision to send me gifts was just based on her being a super nice person. Normally anyone who has sent me gifts that wasn't invited to my showers (other acquaintances, co-workers etc) I just sent them a thank you card. However, this particular friend just had a baby about a week ago. Would it be tacky for me to only send her a thank you card or am I obligated to get her baby a gift too? I really can't afford to spend the same amount on her, so if I did get her a gift it would have to be something small like an outfit for her baby or something like that I guess.

  • you only need to send her a TY, a really thoughtful TY, and maybe go the extra mile and get a large singular thank you card rather than a small one from a multi-pack.

    I agree.  Sounds like it was sent from the heart.  :)
