Strawberry Blues Baby Blanket

AmandaHill — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:00:00 GMT

I'm always pleased with plethora of blankets on Etsy. The Strawberry Blues Baby Blanket, seen above, is made from a beautiful flannel fabric. I love the stitching around the edges and the color combination.

The blanket can be found at Sew Chic Girl's Etsy Shop.

Finally, A Sleeved Blanket For Kids Too - The Snugglette

Chris Ford — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:30:00 GMT

If you watch TV, then chances are you've seen the Snuggie advertised. Basically it's a blanket with sleeves, and although it's not exactly the caliber of "Where's the Beef?" or "I've fallen, and I can't get up!", the commercial is pretty memorable. Well, I suppose a rolling stone gathers no moss in the world of sleeved blanket making, because the Snuggie people are now selling a sized-down version for kids - the Snugglette.

The Snuglette is made of "Super Soft, Luxurious Fleece", is machine washable and is available in "Royal Blue" or "Pretty Pink." It even comes with a free pair of matching "Slipper Socks." And guess what? If you act NOW you can get a second one FREE (just pay an additional $7.95 P&H).

Huh? So, uh, what does that all come to?

Basically, for a pair of Snugglettes and two pairs of Slipper Socks (all of which you have to buy together) you'll be paying $35.85.

Oh, and beware of the link below. The TV commercial for the Snugglette starts the moment the page loads. But if you've got headphones on, then click away.

Gwen Stefani was snapped taking her baby Zuma on a shopping trip on a chilly Los Angeles afternoon. How does Gwen keep her baby warm? With the Giraffe Stroller Blanket by Patricia Ann Designs.

In the Nursery: Babylicious is so "Licious"

elizabeth leach — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:06:00 GMT

The new Babylicious website is so beautiful that you are immediately coaxed into the land of “icious” from the moment you see the homepage. All words that end in “icious” are very, very good words. “Droolicious”, being just one of those words. In any case, follow me into this delicious world…

If you’ve heard of Babylicious it’s probably because you’ve seen it at Target, but now they have their own website so many more colors and styles are available. Choose from bedding, hooded towels, bibs, burp cloths, wash cloths, décor, sleep sacks, and pillows all in modern, funky patterns and colors and all affordably priced. (My favorite words are "modern" and "affordably priced.") Here are a few of my top picks...

The hooded towels are luxurious and fun. With 10-oz looped cotton terry, they're extremely soft and absorbent. The above photo is in the "Groovy Blue" pattern. ($26.50)

I’m a huge fan of sleep sacks since babies kick off their blankets when they sleep. I love the "Go Fish" pattern (above photo) in chocolate and pale green. 100% cotton with snaps at shoulders, front & bottom for easy on and off. Choose the lightweight or winter weight options and prices range from $14 to $55.

The "Zoo" pattern (above pillows) is so much fun and babies love it! It's like a picture book! (The pillows are $21 each.) The matching crib sheet, with different colored polka dots, is my favorite in the entire Babylicious collection. The colors remind me of Fruit Striped gum! (Crib sheet is $23.10.)

ABC Kids Expo 2008: Bugaboo Textile Accessories By Paul Frank

Chris Ford — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:01:00 GMT

Although Bugaboo had a great big booth this year at the ABC show, there wasn't really much in the way of new product announcements from them. One thing they did have to show was new textiles (seat inlays, foot muffs and blankets) for their strollers all designed by Paul Frank.

The special edition Paul Frank stuff will be available in the first quarter of 2009, and will cost $129 for the seat inlays, $159 for the foot muff and $49.95 for the blanket. It's not available on the web site yet, but you can check out what's currently available from Bugaboo at Bugaboo.com.

ABC Kids Expo 2008: L'oved 4-in-1 Nursing Shawl

Chris Ford — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:03:00 GMT

I may not be a mom, but I can appreciate special problems moms might have - especially moms who are nursing. L'ovedbaby Nursing Shawls are made by a mom who realized that women might want to nurse their babies in public, while still maintaining some amount of privacy and style. A tall order to be sure, but the 4 in 1 nursing shawl from L'ovedbaby fits the bill with some bonus applications to boot.

The picture above pretty much shows how it works as a nursing shawl, but it can also serve as a lightweight blanket, a "pregnancy poncho" and my favorite, a canopy for a car seat or stroller (seriously, I know it sounds kind of weird, but it looks pretty cool covering a car seat or stroller). The fabric is machine washable, dryer safe and available in seven colors. To me, if you're looking for a baby shower gift, or just a gift to a newly pregnant friend, you should definitely check it out.

More info about the L'ovedbaby 4-in-1 Nusing Shawl can be found at Lovedbaby.com

7 Days of Traveling Helps: Comfort Creature Travel Buddy Pillow and Blanket

elizabeth leach — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT

Packing light means bringing only the essentials on board an airplane. So, if their toy could double as a pillow or a blanket then that's a good thing. Traveling is tough with kids but sometimes the smallest item can lift their spirits and yours. A cute monster pillow and blanket could be a nice way to wrap up your toddler and coax them to nap. Or if a nap is out of the question they have something to play with.

The Comfort Creature Travel Blanket is on sale for $19.99 and the Comfort Creature Travel Buddy Pillow is on sale for $14.99 at The Container Store.

Baby Basics: The Swaddle Blanket

Erin Behan — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:19:00 GMT

Inspired by editor Gwynne Watkins' posts about what she loved the first week home with her baby, I thought I'd post a few of my favorite products. Up first, the swaddle blanket. I know there are many schools of thought on the swaddle blanket (velcro vs. old-school wrap), but the one we have been returning to again and again is from Giggle.

The set of two organic swaddle blankets ($34) is from Giggle's better basics line and is made from organic cotton. Interestingly only one of the two blankets in the set makes for a great swaddle (the colored one). Its super thin stretchy fabric (much thinner than most I've seen) helps wrap the little wriggly one super tight and won't make him or her too hot. The white blanket that comes with the set is more of a traditional, slightly thicker blanket, and while it's possible to swaddle your baby in it, we found ours to be more than capable of wriggling out of it. Stil, both blankets are a nice addition to any beginning parent's arsenal.
