It is never easy to come up with a great gift for a baby shower but a baby blanket can be just the answer to earning yourself the "most popular gift" award at the party. With a wide range of original and clever designs available today you can't go wrong here.
But, what could possibly be more ordinary than a baby blanket I hear you ask? Used for many thousands of years to wrap a baby and to provide needed warmth, it is hard to imagine someone coming up with a new idea in this area. think again. Baby blankets have found whole new heights of fun and creativity.
One example is "Pigs in a Blanket" that combines both a clever design and a practical gift. This two-piece gift set will produce lots of "aahs" and "oohs" when the proud mother opens the beautifully decorated gift box which comprises an enchanting vintage container surmounted by an organza bow.
Inside the box she will discover a plush blanket that can be printed with a lovely phrase or even personalized. The blanket is wrapped around a gorgeous teddy bear-style pig that will soon become the baby's favorite. Made from stain-resistant polyester which will last for years, it might very well even be handed down to the next generation.
This particular gift also comes with a child's story book rhyme which is designed to complement the other two items. "This Little Piggy" which is printed on the reverse was never such fun and the five little piggies dancing on the front agree.
Another fun gift is the JoJo Giraffe toy that also comes with its own very special blanket inside its own 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 will take about three seconds. With his arms and legs wrapped around a multi-colored keepsake box which is done in similar style, JoJo is undoubtedly a perfect toy.
The blanket that accompanies the gift adds enormously to the delight that both mom and baby will receive from this beautiful item. Very easily personalized with the addition of the baby's name, the sunshine yellow fleece of the blanket is both warm and soothing. Also, at 40 inches by 30 inches, it is a good size for a a decorative bed cover or a baby blanket.
But baby blankets that are standalone items can also make for perfect gifts. The Maddie's Meadow is a wonderful example. Brightly and colorfully decorated with butterflies and flowers on a pink background, it is most inviting. The gift box itself also carries the same theme with fluffy pink clouds and bright green grass that serve to remind mom of the joys of spring. Personalization is also easily achieved thanks to the generous satin border which surrounds the soft fleece.
