I think you definitely should still send her a thank you, regardless of the outcome. She still attended and gave you a gift so I think you need to. I wouldn't think she'd try to use u in the middle now to get to your cousin, but you did say shes kinda nuts!! I still would send it and take my chances!!
I would send the thank you. You should always send a thank you to everybody who gave you a gift. I still haven't received a thank you from a gift I gave to a friend for her wedding (well over a year ago) and a gift I gave a different friend for her baby shower (almost a year ago). I think it's not very polite to not thank people for attending a party in your honor and giving a gift.
I agree, she brought a gift, she gets a thank you. You could give your cousin a heads up after you've mailed it, so if your cousin hears from her, your cousin will be prepared to handle it.
Yeah you should send a thank you. Thanking her for a gift she gave you has nothing to do with her relationship with your cousin. It's just a courtesy. If for whatever reason she unleashes some crazy on you afterwards just ignore her.
She gave you a gift, so send her a thank you. Whatever happens with her and the cousin is their business.
I would send the thank you. But try to keep it somewhat sterile. Maybe don't carry on sentimentally...
i would send a thank you note, just keep it very general. besides, you never know if they'll get back together, you don't want to be the girl who never wrote her a thank you note.
I would send the Thank you and if you are close to your cousin, maybe let him know before you send it. If she is stalker crazy then you may want to reconssider but if it was a simple break up and lose contact type of deal, I don't think you should worry aout sending a thank you.
I'm in consensus with everyone else - gift = thank you note.
If she's so crazy that she'd use this to stir up drama, I think she'd be stirring up drama with your cousin regardless of a thank you note.
Out of politeness definitely send a thank you note. You do not need to mention your cousin at all in the note just say thank you for the gift and how much you appreciated her coming to the shower etc.
i agree with everyone, i would send a very polite note thanking her but not mention your cousin.
If your cousin has her address, I would send a thank you note regardless of the break-up because she did go out of her way and get you a gift.
I wouldnt send her one. Theres really no need. Yes it was nice she gave you a gift, but youll hopefully never associate with her again. and it will probably be easier for everyone you care about (and will see again) to keep the crazy girl out of the picture.
Yep, just send her a note saying "thanks for coming! Good luck with life!"... that way she doesn't try to become BFFs with you and cause even mooooooore drama.
I would send a thank you note, as she did give you a gift. Just write something short and sweet and you won't have to worry about opening up a can of worms with your cousin.
send the Thank You! I have been to 2 bachelorettes where I brought a present and the weddings of both girls (where I also brought presents!) and never once received a single Thank You card/note/e-mail/etc. We're all still friends, but I don't forget the lack of thanks. Its only polite to thank someone for a gift they bought you.

...i'm a little late and still working on shower thank you's...
my cousin had a new girlfriend who came to my shower and brought a gift. i was a little surprised she came to the shower but since she showed, i figured my cousin really wanted her to meet the extended family. but, before the wedding, they broke up so she did not come to the wedding. i know nothing about the details of the break-up, but my cousin was sad about it.
should i send her a thank you note for the shower gift to be polite? she did give me the impression that she's a little ~crazy~, so i don't want to give her fodder to contact my cousin, and i absolutely do not want to stir up anything. on the other hand, we're all adults, i should show appreciation to someone who gave me a gift. did i mention she might be nuts? thoughts?
