Chris Ford — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:00:00 GMT

I know baseball season is a long way off, but here is a baby shower gift idea I've never seen before. If the parents-to-be in your life are baseball fans, Major League Baseball Team themed receiving blankets might be something you want to check out. Every baby needs an extra blanket or two, right?

The blankets aren't available in every team (that I can find at least) but they have a decent selection over at the Babies R Us web site. You might also want to check out each individual team's web sites too.

The Babble Review: Zoobie Pets

editors — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 22:01:00 GMT

It’s a blankie! It’s a plush doll! And it’s exactly what your little one will want to snuggle with on trips to Grandma’s while keeping his tootsies warm. The Zoobie two-in-one pet is pretty compact so your kid will be willing to carry it through the maze of the airport this holiday season. But it folds out to create a blanket and pillow/cuddle object once the Bendaryl has kicked in.

Zoobie Pets come in many exotic but lovable favorite animal types: Hada the Hippo, Lencho the Lion and Bobo the Baboon to name a few. We like Maskaka the Monkey (seen above) and his impish smile and especially like how easy it transitions from stuffed animal to useful travelling companion. So it’s no wonder Zoobies have won a plethora of awards from the iParenting Media Award to being Hot Mom Approved. That’s right, there’s even a seal for that one - and we're wondering how we can get our hands on it. - April Peveteaux

Get it at Amazon for $29.99.

Meredith Broussard — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:00:00 GMT

Here at Droolicious, we eagerly awaited the launch of Dwell Studio's new winter line of stylish modern baby accessories.

Now that the new goodies have hit stores, I'm in love with this silk and cashmere baby blanket. It reminds me of making paper dolls when I was a kid-- these were the shapes I always tried to make, even though I ended up with dolls who looked like they'd been thwacked with the ugly stick.

This pink blanket would make a whimsical lovey, or a delightful addition to a modern nursery. $120 at Design Public.

Big Deal: Baby in a Blanket

aprilpeveteaux — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 18:50:00 GMT

How long does one use a baby blanket for anyway? Subtract that whole first year when you're constantly putting your hand in front of her mouth to make sure she's breathing while experimenting with sleep sacks, swaddles and leggings. And if your kid grows as fast as mine, by the toasty one’s third birthday her little piggies will be sticking out of those miniature blankets that can cost as much as the crib. Lucky for me Baby in a Blanket is having a sale! Normally these 100% cotton, reversible, hypoallergenic and washable blankets with matching mini pillow will lighten your wallet by $80. Now I know you can spend much more on baby blankets, but as Mir pointed out, does that mean that you should? So pick up the Sweet Red Blanket at half price and cover your baby in style. Or if you’re one of those people who invested in Ugg Boots and summer scarves while residing in a warm clime, check out all of the new styles at full price, which are simply delectable.

Rock the Retro: My Brother is Going to Kill Me for Telling You This

Karen — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 22:03:00 GMT

When my brother was a little squirt, he had a blanket just like this one. With his index and middle finger, he would hold his blankie by the satiny edge, and suck his thumb to fall asleep. Many family pictures include this well-loved keepsake and this hand made one would do just fine for someone of the coming generation.

This lovely retro Pez Luxury Blanket is available on Etsy for $58.
