Re: baby shower gift

I think people go so overboard these days with gifts. I think the blanket sounds lovely - why should you give more??? A card and a unique, hand-made blanket...I would love that!!

I am making a blanket for a baby shower & also getting a gift.

I think of the blanket more as just " a little something extra" , but I am just a beginner, so the blanket isn't that fancy & this is a very close friend.

Re: baby shower gift

No I think that is fine. But if they are having a wishing well get a little something for this. You can even but a rattle or something like that and tie it to the top of your gift.

Re: baby shower gift

The blanket is a very generous gift. I am a knitter and I have made blankets for close friends/family. Depending on the blanket, it can take upward of a month or more to make. No need to give anything else.

I think you did a nice thing! The blanket and GC!

I know that based on what I tend to go overboard, but what's the harm? If it makes you feel good and it's going to be appreciated - go for it!

Re: baby shower gift

i think that a hand made blanket is worth so much more than any gift. IMO you do not need to give an additional gift..
