Little Giraffe Blanket
A Baby Blanket Can Make a Memorable Baby Shower Gift
It is always hard to think of gift ideas for a baby shower but a baby blanket might just be the answer to earning yourself the "best gift" award at the party. With a wide range of clever and original designs now available you cannot go wrong here.
But, what could possibly be more ordinary than a baby blanket you say? Used for hundreds of years to wrap a baby and to provide needed warmth, it's hard to picture anyone coming up with a new idea in this area. think again. Baby blankets have found whole new heights of creativity, fun and usefulness.
One example is "Pigs in a Blanket" which combines both a clever design and a practical gift. This lovely two-piece gift set will cause lots of "aahs" and "oohs" when the proud mother opens the beautifully decorated gift box which comprises an enchanting vintage container topped with an organza bow.
Inside the box she will discover a plush blanket that can be imprinted with a memorable phrase or even personalized. It is wrapped around an even lovelier Teddy Bear-style pig that will quickly become the baby's favorite. Made 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.
The gift also comes with a children's story book rhyme designed to complement the other two items. "This Little Piggy" printed on the reverse was never such fun and the five little piggies dancing on the front agree.
Another gift which is just as much fun is the JoJo Giraffe toy that comes with its own special blanket housed in its own keepsake box. Standing 20 inches tall it will sit proudly in the corner until the baby can no longer resist playing with it... which will take approximately ten seconds. With his legs and arms wrapped around a multi-colored keepsake box created in similar style, JoJo is undoubtedly a perfect gift.
The blanket that comes with the gift adds hugely to the delight that both baby and mom will get from this gorgeous item. Very easily personalized with the baby's name, the sunshine yellow fleece of the blanket is soothing and warm. Also, at 30 inches by 40 inches, it is a good size for a use as either a Decorative Bed cover or a baby blanket.
But baby blankets that are bought as standalone items can make for perfect gifts. One excellent example of this is The Maddie's Meadow. Brightly and colorfully decorated with flowers and butterflies on a pink background, it's extremely inviting. The gift box carries the same theme with fluffy pink clouds and bright green grass that are a reminder of the joys of spring. Personalization is easily achieved as a result of the generous satin border which surrounds the soft fleece.

My girls both have blankets that they'd have since they were born. My three year old calls hers "Nilla" I don't know how that started. My six year old calls hers "Gigi" because there is a little giraffe on hers, and thats how she said it when she was little [miss those days
