A Baby Blanket Can Make A Memorable Baby Shower Gift

It is never easy to come up with gift ideas for a baby shower but a baby blanket might just be the answer to earning the "most popular gift" award at the party. With a wide range of original and clever designs available you cannot go wrong here.

But, what could possibly be more ordinary than a baby blanket you asking? Used for thousands of years to wrap a baby and to provide much needed warmth, it's difficult to imagine anybody coming up with a new idea in this area. think again. Baby blankets have entered whole new heights of creativity, usefulness and fun.

One example is "Pigs in a Blanket" that combines a clever design with a practical gift. This lovely two-piece gift set will produce lots of "oohs" and "aahs" when the guest of honor opens the beautifully decorated gift box which comprises a delightful vintage container topped with an organza bow.

Inside she will find a plush blanket which can be imprinted with a favorite phrase or simply personalized. It's wrapped around an even lovelier teddy bear-style pig which will quickly become the baby's favorite. Manufactured in stain-resistant polyester which will wear for many years, it could very well even be passed down to the next generation.

This gift also comes with a children's story book rhyme which is designed to complement the two other items. "This Little Piggy" which is printed on the back was never such fun and the five little piggies which are dancing on the front could not agree more.

Another gift which is just as much fun is the JoJo Giraffe toy which comes with its own very special blanket housed in a keepsake box. Standing 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 ten seconds. With his legs wrapped around a colorful keepsake box which is created in similar style, JoJo is quite simply a perfect gift.

The blanket which accompanies the gift adds enormously to the delight which both mom and baby will get from this gorgeous item. Easily personalized with the addition of the baby's name, the sunshine yellow fleece is soothing and warm. Also, at 30 inches by 40 inches, it is ample size for a either a baby blanket or decorative bed cover.

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

A baby blanket might not seem like the ideal gift for a baby shower but, with the enormous range of imaginative blankets and blanket gift sets available nowadays they can make a very memorable gift which will last for years and even be passed down through the family.
