SunnyChanel — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:00:00 GMT

How does retired adult film superstar keep her twins covered up? When her newborns were released from the hospital she very carefully carried one of the boys out to the awaiting car. She had him wrapped in a oversized swaddling blanket by aden + anais. These very popular 100% cotton muslin wraps are an all-purpose blanket that is perfect for swaddling. Here it looks like she has one of the animal prints which comes in a set of four; giraffe, elephant, bird and monkey. You can pick up a set from Land of Nod here.

Our Bamboo Mania Continues: Bamboosa Baby Blankets

Aaron Burgess — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 20:30:00 GMT

Cathy put us in the mind of bamboo earlier today with a post on what might be the world's most luxurious cloth diaper, but while you're putting together your bamboo layette, don't forget the blanket.

Made from a blend of 70% organic bamboo -- a naturally antimicrobial, hypoallergenic fiber -- and 30% cotton French terry, Bamboosa's BambooBaby swaddlers are also exceptionally snuggly and durable. Pair them with coordinated hooded bath towels, and you've got a terrific green gift that should long outlast the infant years.

The 30" x 30" blankets are available in natural, pink and blue, with all colors also available as accents. $26 each from Bamboosa, and check out Elizabeth's recent post on a slightly higher-end brand if you've got room in the budget.

The Babble Review: Sloppy Baby Is Quite Neat

editors — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:03:00 GMT

When shower present shopping one often goes for the baby blanket because, well, blankets are soft and cute. It’s a no-brainer for even the shower illiterate. Sloppy Baby is the new kid on the baby blanket block and we got to check out their take on the classic.

Sloppy Baby’s one size fits all fleece-lined bibs and burp cloths have been around for a little while, and now have a friend to hang out with (they name their designs after their favorite kiddos). I have to say I played favorites with Finley. You get the cuteness of the sock monkey in this unisex design combined with a patch work of soft fabrics the baby will appreciate on their smooth, delicate skin. Pick up a blankie on its own, or pair it with the bib and burp cloth and you will go from being the baby gift zero, to a baby gift hero. – April Peveteaux

Get the set at Sloppy Baby for $68.

Major League Baseball Baby Blankets

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.

MLB Receiving Blankets, $12.99 from Babies R Us (ToysRUs.com).

Super Cuddly Cashmere Blanket

Erin Behan — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 13:55:00 GMT

Kistner Supply company (whose beautiful Mother Stork Baby Book we recommended in a Babble Best) is now also the home of supple cashmere baby blankets. The blankets are unique in that they are made of recycled two-ply cashmere pieces that are then sewn together to create a patchwork quilt effect. The 36'-by-48' blankets are machine washable and Kistner Supply will repair any blanket that becomes worn and frayed due to being "loved to pieces." The cashmere baby blanket ($284) comes in five color combinations and is presented in a gift box, tied with a gossamer ribbon and accompanied by a letterpressed gift card. As with its baby book, the piece is mean to be a cherished heirloom that lasts for generations.

7 Days of Bedding: Little Giraffe Luxe Blanket

Chris Ford — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 10:37:00 GMT

To be honest, I really couldn't have less of an opinion about kid's bedding (in the division of labor in my family, this one squarely resides on my wife's side), but there is one thing bedding-related that I really love. This baby blanket by Little Giraffe is soft, warm, and in my daughter's words, "totally cozy."

There are a lot of baby blankets out there, many of which you will, no doubt, receive as gifts. This one is, however, exceptional. In fact we loved it so much that the person who originally gave it to us gave us another one. The blanket has a satin hem and is "ultra-plush".

Little Giraffe Luxe Blanket (29"x35'), store locations available from Little Giraffe.com.

Spit Up: Baby Boo Pouf Blanket

Mir — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 13:01:00 GMT

Overlooking the fact that this blanket has an insipid name; disregarding the shame of a simple fleece baby blanket costing $35 (at Posh Baban); and aside from the fact that marabou should never, ever appear on anything intended for babies simply by virtue of being a disgusting and potentially dangerous thing for babies to put in their mouths...

... if you're looking for a baby blanket that appears to have a thatch of unkempt pubic hair, well, I think we've found a winner.
