Do you have a baby shower to go to or are you expecting and you want something special to give the new baby? A baby blanket is a great gift idea for any infant. they keep babies warm and happy and can become a keepsake they can keep forever.

What types of baby blankets can you get? One choice is to make a baby blanket. You can make a blanket either by crocheting or knitting a blanket or by sewing a blanket such as by quilting it. if you want to personalize a simple blanket, you can even use a simple fleece material and just sew on a border.

Crocheting baby blankets is a popular way to make a great baby blanket. You can use any kind of yarn of many colors, but the most popular for baby blankets are softer yarns and colors. You can even make the ultimate soft quality blanket by using cashmere yarn. There are so many different options with yarn you have to experiment for yourself.

If you are better with a needle, you can quilt a blanket. Quilting is a little bit more complicated, unless you’ve done it before and are good at it. You can shoot for fleece cloth and make soft blankets or regular fabric and go for crazy colors and patterns. if you aren’t good at quilting, you can even just take an ordinary blanket and embroider it yourself with the baby’s name or a personal message.

If you aren’t a crafty person, don’t worry about it. Buying a beautiful baby blanket can be just as special. No one says you have to spend a lot of money for something to be from the heart. The same goes for crafts. not everyone is artistic and crafty. if you don’t have to knack for crafts, use your talent of choosing a beautiful blanket. think about it, wouldn’t you rather have your child get a beautiful blanket that they purchased than a 5 inch lopsided crocheted blanket?

However you choose to get your blanket, make sure it is perfect for the baby you are making or buying it for. Personalize it with their name or a message if you can. Make sure the colors fit the baby and his room. You can even get a blanket and wrap it in a stuffed animal or get a blanket set that comes with one. Most of all, make sure the blanket it soft, warm, and perfect for the newborn baby!

SB2616 Kyle/HB2556 Fitzhugh, the “omnibus” bill. It’s a do-all, fixer upper that is part of the package of budget bills. It picked up an amendment in the House to create a new program to help minority- or female-headed companies qualify for state contracts.

The Senate balked, and finally the minority-business provision was rewritten late Wednesday night to put a new Office of Diversity Business Enterprise under the new “procurement commission” that is supposed to rewrite state purchasing policy and procedures.

At the same time the House spent an hour hanging personal favorite provisions on the omnibus bill, ranging from road-namings to a new definition of “warranty” as it applies to foundation inspection.

The amendments were measures that the House had passed but the Senate had ignored. The Senate continued to ignore them. After midnight the House went back and removed the offending “Christmas ornaments.”

SB3901 Kyle/ HB3787 Turner M., the “technical corrections” bill. A bill usually described by the administration as “closing loopholes,” the annual technical corrections bill has recently been used to add new taxes.

This time it has tax breaks for an airline to be named later, for an insurance company headquarters in Williamson County, for Gaylord (Opryland, flood damage) and for homeowners whose damage rated a FEMA certification. It makes it harder for a Real Estate Investment Trust to avoid paying franchise and excise taxes.

House Amendment 3 added a tax increment financing scheme to the area around a baseball field in Jackson. It hadn’t previously been heard in the Senate, which turned it down. It was the last bill of the year for the House, which removed the Jackson amendment.

SB3586 Ketron/ HB2875 Curtiss, stealth red light camera regulation. An example of a “caption bill,” it began life as a meaningless sentence allowing red plastic flags on over-length highway loads.

It morphed into a new bill, which redefined the term “auto club.” To see what AAA could do under that bill, see the Senate amendment.

But in the House, angry members wanted to regulate red-light and traffic control cameras. The Senate had refused to act on such a bill, so the House nailed on a score of amendments to rein in the unmanned traffic ticket machines. Those amendments were mostly wrapped up in this House amendment 22.

Senate Sponsor Bill Ketron moved the bill back to the Calendar Committee, thus giving up on the bill for the year.

HB 570 Dennis/SB 1141 Gresham, a bill to require a citizenship check of anyone arrested in the state.

After failing to pass the same language, the two houses finally agreed to a conference committee’s recommendation, 56-30 in the House and 24-7 in the Senate.
Here is the conference committee report – that is, the final version of the bill:

The compromise leaves it up to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST Commission) to set up a procedure for handling such a protocol, and gives a pass to counties which already participate in a federal alien identification program.

SB2882 Crowe/HB2872 Hill, vehicular homicide by negligence in a construction zone. Rep. Henry Fincher, Cookeville Democrat, has made a lawyerly argument that such an accident – even if it takes a life – is a civil matter, not a criminal matter, since it lacks intent. On the last day, the House and Senate agreed that vehicular homicide in a construction zone is a Class D felony.

After Sen. Mae Beavers, a member of the Republican Senate majority, was allowed to resurrect her “Health Freedom Act,” Sen. Andy Berke, a Chattanooga Democrat, tried to call up a bill which had been stranded in the Senate Environment committee. SB 1398 Jackson/HB 0455 McDonald, mountaintop removal, would bar the “blowing up” of ridgelines above the elevation of 3,535 feet. Coal companies fought against it earlier this year and left it, unvoted upon, in a Senate standing committee.

On Wednesday the Senate refused to bring the mountaintop removal bill to the floor for a vote. The vote to hear the bill was 12 ayes, 14 noes, 4 “present not voting.”

Baby gift baskets are extremely popular as gift items as you can add many things, big or small without breaking your budget and at the same time offering a variety of baby items. Themed gift baskets for the baby are also increasingly becoming popular and these include bath time basket, sleepy time basket, book basket, toy basket or even diapering-necessities basket. As you can see, the choices are endless.

The first thing to keep in mind while arranging a baby basket is the age of the baby. For newborns, either a general basket with an assortment of items works well or if you are keen on a themed approach, the most practical would be the diapers-essentials basket. Wet wipes, some cloth nappies, specific lotions for nappy rash, and a few small towels and of course diapers can all go into this particular basket.

You can even forgo the traditional wicker basket and opt for a large basket which can later be used for holding soiled diapers or clothes. Toy wagons, buckets, laundry baskets can all be decorated imaginatively to make up a diapers basket. These large baskets are also appropriate if you are planning to gift crib quilts, sheets or blankets either as part of your sleepy time theme or as general gifts.

Bath items as well as toys are always welcome in baby gift baskets but should be safe for babies. Make sure that the bath items are gentle, tearless and hypoallergenic and toys are appropriate according to the age of the baby. Rattles, crib toys and perhaps a soft toy are best for newborns.

If you are looking for baby gift baskets for twins, the easiest way is to simply buy two of everything but instead of putting the stuff in one basket, make the effort of decorating two baskets separately even if the twins are sets of boys or girls. Choose different color themes for each basket just to add some novelty to them. For a set of boy-girl twins, of course, two baskets become mandatory and the color theme obviously is blue and pink.

For one-year olds or toddlers, the similar concept of a generalized or themed basket can be used with some modifications. Baskets for this age group need not be restricted to diapers, toys and crib items only but books or music cds can also be added.

Exposing children to books at an early age develops good communication skills and toddlers enjoy listening to stories even if they cannot understand much of it. A book-themed gift basket
