Thanks for

My friend brought a lot of books for me during her visit, should I say:

Thanks for bringing all the books to me. Or

Thanks for bringing all the books for me. Or are they both okay?

"for" seems much more likely in this scenario. "to" makes it seem as if the bringing of the books was an instruction, or part of an organised exercise of some sort. It's simpler to say "Thanks for bringing me all the books".
