Two part gift but sent a TY Note after the first part. Send another?

I got my first gift a couple weeks ago. A cheese board with a built-in cutter. I got really excited and send a TY note right away saying how much I love cheese or something like that, and it was a great. Well I just got back from vacation and it turns out the person also sent a cutting board set that matched the cheese board. It probably came a week later, and now it's two weeks later. The packaging from the cheese board didn't indicate that there was more to the order, so I really had no way of knowing. Should I send another TY note for the cutting board set. I feel like it's a little odd, since I just wrote sort of a long very personal TY note for the cheese board. Or maybe an email saying we got the cutting board last week too and something about how nice it is to have the matching set? Or should I just not worry about it, since it's pretty clear that I just jumped the gun on the TY note?

    I think we just saw this same issue (too lazy/sleep-deprived to find the thread).

    If you're close to the person, give them a call to thank them. If you're not, send an additional thank-you note. You didn't do anything wrong by sending the thank-you note so promptly, so it's not like you're fixing a mistake you made.

    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Send another one. Say it came in 2 packages and you wanted to thank them again.

    Why is this so hard to understand?

    No need to be mean about it. Thanks for the advice though, and @AddieL73 thanks for the link.

    I hate when people write "Why is this so hard to understand?" It just makes you feel like such an idiot when you have a real question and you are planning to follow the advice that is given. I feel like it's more of a statement for the people that ask a question, then get advice, don't like it, then say they are going to do the same thing anyway.

    It sounds like another TY note is an easy way to go. I just wasn't sure since it was a little odd that I just sent one.

    It wasn't mean nor was it meant to make you look like an idiot. I actually don't get why it is so difficult to understand. Legit question on my part. You receive multiple gifts, you send multiple thanks.

    I think when you are dealing with all of this super formal stuff for the first time and your brain is exploding from wedding stress it is perfectly understandable for people to feel unsure of what they should do or worry about if what they think they should do is actually right.  Especially regarding wedding stationary there are a ton of extremely specific rules, and most people don't know them all.

    OP, I get you being confused.  I'm 5 days out from my wedding and even basic decisions are making my head spin.
