Gift enclosed with response card?

We sent our invitations out last week and I was excited to get our first gift today. It is a gift card to one of the places we registered at, which is awesome. The kind of weird thing is that it came enclosed with the guest's response card and there was a short congratulatory note on the back of the response card. I'm not offended by this or anything, I just thought it was a bit unusual. Has anyone else had this happen? Any thoughts? Just curious what you girls think.

    I've done that exact thing when I've sent my regrets.  I did it so I wouldn't forget to send a gift.

    We received a couple of checks and gift cards with no RSVPs.  I think it's pretty common.

    Of course I'm sending a thank you note. Did I say something that implied I wasn't appreciative and planning on sending one? Your comment, Retread, was really unnecessary and slightly rude.

    I had interpreted her tone as holier than thou and uppity, but perhaps that wasn't how it was meant. Sending a TY was the first thing that crossed my mind, and had actually written it before I posted. But, I know no one here knows me, and that such a reminder wouldn't be needed.

    I think that's quick organizational thinking on the part of your guest. And, wow, are you serious in response to the "send the thank you card" comment above? Good Grief. Relax and breath!

    Same?

    OP - She wasn't being rude at all, she made her answer short & to the point. She was letting you know that it's not uncommon or weird to send a gift with a regret & that you're good to go as far as sending a thank-you card.

    Maybe I misinterpreted. I thought the tone of her response was uppity and holier than thou. Sending a TY was the first thing that I thought about, and had already written it before posted here. But, i suppose no one here knows me and that I would not need such direction/reminder. I will relax, as suggested :)
