thanking
If I want to thank two people, what can I say?
Thank you both.
Thanks to you both.
Thank both of you.
Thanks to both of you.
What is the most natural, what all is correct and what is not correct at all? Or are there even other possibilities? :)

It's always 'thanks' or 'thank you.' The above answers are a mixed bag. Most are incorrect.
This is a common mistake that learners make.

You would normally just say "thank you" in a general sense, for example showing with gesture that you are talking, or you can turn to each one and say it individually if you like. "Thank you both for..." etc sounds very formal although it could be used and I don't think anyone would have a problem with this from a learner. Just bear in mind - "Thank you both" or "thanks to both of you" are both better than "thank you to both of you" (plus that's a mouthful) and "thanks both" which doesn't work.
