Baby Blankets Can Make Wonderful Baby Shower Gifts

It is never easy to come up with gift ideas for a baby shower but a baby blanket can be just the answer to earning the “most popular gift” award at the shower. With a range of original and clever designs available today you cannot go wrong here with these unique baby shower gifts.

However, what could possibly be more ordinary than a baby blanket I hear you ask? Used for thousands of years to wrap a baby and to provide needed warmth, it’s hard to see anyone coming up with a new idea in this area. Well think again. Baby blankets have discovered whole new heights of creativity and fun.

One example is “Pigs in a Blanket” that combines a clever design with a practical gift. This two-piece gift set will produce lots of “awws” and “oohs” when the proud mother opens the beautifully decorated gift box which comprises a delightful vintage container surmounted by an organza bow.

Inside the box she will discover a plush blanket that can be imprinted with a favorite phrase or even personalized. It’s wrapped around a gorgeous teddy bear-style pig that will quickly become the baby’s favorite. Manufactured in a stain-resistant polyester which will wear for many years, it may well even be passed down to the next generation of the family.

This gift also includes a child’s story book rhyme designed in a similar style to complement the other two items. “This Little Piggy” printed on the back was never such fun and the five little piggies dancing on the front could not agree more.

Another gift which is just as much fun is the JoJo Giraffe toy that also comes with its own special blanket housed in a keepsake box. At 20 inches high it will sit proudly in the corner until the baby can no longer resist the temptation to play with it… which at a guess will take approximately ten seconds. With his legs wrapped around a multi-colored keepsake box made in similar style, JoJo is quite simply a perfect gift.

The blanket that accompanies the gift adds hugely to the delight that both mom and baby will receive from this lovely item. Easily personalized with the addition of the baby’s name, the sunny yellow fleece is warm and soothing. Additionally, at 30 inches by 40 inches, it is a good size for use as a baby blanket or decorative bed cover.

But baby blankets that come as standalone items can make perfect gifts. The Maddie’s Meadow is a wonderful example. Colorfully decorated with butterflies and flowers on a pink background, it’s very inviting. The gift box itself carries the same theme with fluffy pink clouds and bright green grass which serve to remind mom of the joys of spring. Personalization is also easily accomplished because of the generous satin border which surrounds the soft fleece.
