It is always hard to think of gift ideas for a baby shower but a baby blanket can be just the answer to earning the "most popular gift" award at the party. With a range of clever and original designs available today you cannot go wrong here.
But, what could possibly be more ordinary than a baby blanket I hear you say? Used for hundreds of years to swath a baby and provide needed warmth, it is hard to imagine anyone coming up with a novel idea for a blanket. guess again. Baby blankets have discovered whole new heights of fun,usefulness and creativity.
One example is "Pigs in a Blanket" that combines a clever design with a practical gift. This lovely two-piece gift set will cause lots of "oohs" and "aahs" when the guest of honor opens the beautifully decorated gift box which comprises an enchanting vintage container surmounted by an organza bow.
Inside the box she will discover a plush blanket which can be imprinted with a lovely phrase or even personalized. The blanket is wrapped around a gorgeous teddy bear-style pig which will soon become the baby's favorite. Manufactured from stain-resistant polyester and with a tough construction, it may well even be handed down to the next generation of the family.
This gift also includes a children's story book rhyme which is designed to complement the two other items. "This Little Piggy" which is printed on the reverse was never such fun and the five little piggies dancing on the front certainly agree.
Another fun gift is the JoJo Giraffe toy which also comes with its own special blanket inside its own keepsake box. At 20 inches high it will proudly occupy a spot in the corner until the baby can no longer resist playing with it... which will take approximately three seconds. With his legs and arms wrapped around a colorful keepsake box which is created in similar style, JoJo is unquestionably a perfect toy.
The blanket which comes with the gift adds hugely to the delight which both baby and mom will receive from this beautiful item. Easily personalized with the baby's name, the sunny yellow fleece of the blanket is both warm and soothing. Also, at 40 inches by 30 inches, it is ample size for a a decorative bed cover or a baby blanket.
But baby blankets which come as standalone items can also make for perfect gifts. One excellent example of this is The Maddie's Meadow. Colorfully decorated with butterflies and flowers on a pink background, it is most inviting. The gift box itself also carries a matching theme with fluffy pink clouds and bright green grass which will remind mom of the joys of spring. Personalization is also easily achieved because of the wide satin border surrounding the soft fleece.
