I went to a baby shower for my sister-in-law and impending niece. I love to crochet a blanket for each of my nieces and nephews before they are born. It's a gesture of love and of welcome to each of them, and it makes me happy to think of our newest tiny little family member snuggled up warm in a blanket.
It's also a relatively inexpensive gift. I can buy the yarn for a baby blanket for between four and twelve dollars, depending on the size and how good the yarn sales are. It's time intensive, (REALLY time intensive) but whenever I watch TV, I work on a blanket, so it turns wasted time into productive time. I love doing it, and I plan to keep the tradition alive.
