<p>I tend to buy books, and give them with gift receipt in case there are duplicates.</p>
<p>My favorite item to give was a baby quilt. I found the first in New Hampshire, and after that I would call the woman to order (and vary color). Favorite gifts I received were from my sister, who can sew. She made flannel blankets and curtains. She chose flannel with stars, animals, & trucks, lined them, with coordinating satin edges. These were all passed around.</p>
