To just write a thank you note

Just wondering what the right thing to do here is?
DS had a birthday party recently, he was fortunate enough to get lots of lovely presents. When we opened them Imade a note of who bought what so we could do thank you notes. One present didn't have a card attached and through a process of elimination I think it was from one of two friend DS has, which means the other one didn't buy a present. This doesn't matter in itself at all, but makes it a little awkward for the purpose of thanking them!

Do I a) write notes rear say 'thanks for coming to DS' party and not mention the gift (might offend the one that did buy a present)
B) write a note a thank you note to both and risk embarrassing the friend that didn't buy
C) another suggestion I can't currently think of!

Thanks!

We had this with some wedding presents and I had the same dilemma. We went with option a and thanked both guests effusive for their generosity in sharing the day with us. It was probably a bit easier since wedding thank you make it easy to use flowery language thus making it slightly ambiguous but I hoped it worked. Never have found out who got us the item.

Write 'Thank you for coming to DS birthday party, he had a great time and loved all the cards and presents'
