Yesterday was my last day at work and my co-workers gave me a baby shower. Now I'm thinking about the Thank you notes . A friend told me a big fruit basket with one thank you card adress to everybody will be fine. Do you think individual cards will be better?

I believe one card is sufficient. Unless you want to bog yourself down with individual thank you notes addressed to each person about their gift... it's easier to give just one - it's the thought that counts, and you would be showing your appreciation... I would stick with the one card and fruit basket.

Yes, individual cards would be much better if you got gifts from specific people. (ex. Karen gave you a blanket, Amy gave you a onesie...) In that case, a big fruit basket with one thank you card would be extremely tacky.
On the other hand, if the shower and gifts were given to you from your co-workers as a group, then one thank you card would probably be OK, although individual notes would still be much more polite.

My office usually posts the cards in the break room so everyone will see it, so I think one card with a fruit basket sent to the office is a great idea!

Hm. I think the fruit basket is a good idea, but I would stick to individual notes.

This is totally a personal call on your part. I think it really comes down to how much time, effort and money you're willing to put into showing your co-workers thanks. I'm assuming that you didn't ASK for a baby shower, so it's not like you're obligated to show individual thanks for something that was a surprise to you.
Personally, I would probably at least email my co-workers individually, and say thank-you for any gifts your received from them. You could then give a group gift of a fruit basket, or chocolates, or whatever you want to show thanks to them as well.
If you're also having a regular baby shower for your friends and family, that would be the time I would send out individual thank-you notes.

If your office is large, then I think the fruit basket would be sufficient. But if you have a small close knit office I would do the individual cards. Congrats, and best of luck!

I think that if you are in a big corporation, one basket to your boss would be sufficient. However if you work in a small company that is realyl a close group of people, I would suggest individual cards.

If you got individual gifts, i feel individual cards would be more appropriate. If they all chipped in and bought you one gift, then one card for the office would be nice. Not sure what Ms. Manners would say, this is just my opinion.
Congratulations...get some rest before that baby comes!

I think your friends idea is great. I would put a cute saying on the inside like "Here's something good to keep you busy till I get back!". And I wouldn't put in just fruit. I would do chocolate bars (little mini ones), small snack packs of things, and basically an assortment of things. I'm sure they will love it.....
