A Baby Blanket Can Make A Wonderful Gift For A Baby Shower

It is not always easy to think of a great gift for a baby shower but a baby blanket might just be the answer to earning the "best gift" award at the party. With a range of original and clever designs available today you cannot go wrong here.

But, what could be more ordinary than a baby blanket you ask? Used for many thousands of years to swath a baby and provide needed warmth, it's hard to see anyone coming up with a new idea for a blanket. Well guess again. Baby blankets have discovered whole new heights of creativity, fun and usefulness.

One example is "Pigs in a Blanket" that combines both a clever design and a practical gift. This lovely two-piece gift set will generate lots of "aahs" and "oohs" when the proud mother opens the decorative gift box which comprises a delightful vintage container surmounted by an organza bow.

Inside she will find a plush blanket that can be printed with a lovely phrase or even personalized. The blanket is wrapped around an even lovelier teddy bear-style pig that will quickly become the baby's favorite. Made in a stain-resistant polyester and with a tough construction, it may well even be passed down to the next generation of the family.

This gift also includes 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 which are dancing on the front agree.

Another fun gift is the JoJo Giraffe toy that also comes with its own special blanket housed in its own keepsake box. At 20 inches tall it will sit proudly in the corner until the baby can no longer resist the temptation to play with it... which at a guess will take approximately five seconds. With his arms and legs wrapped around a colorful keepsake box created in similar style, JoJo is quite simply a perfect gift.

The blanket that accompanies the gift adds hugely to the delight that both mom and baby will get from this gorgeous item. Very easily personalized with the baby's name, the sunshine yellow fleece is warm and soothing. Additionally, at 30 inches by 40 inches, it is a good size for a either a decorative bed cover or a baby blanket.

But baby blankets that come as standalone items can also make perfect gifts. One great example of this is The Maddie's Meadow. Brightly and colorfully decorated with butterflies and flowers on a background of pink, it's extremely inviting. The gift box also carries the same theme with fluffy pink clouds and bright green grass that are a reminder of the joys of spring. Personalization is also easily achieved because of the generous satin border that surrounds the soft fleece.
