Baby blankets are one of the things that you need to have for your baby. You use them to cover your baby, to swaddle your baby, you lay them on the floor to protect your baby - they do so many things. Here are some of my favorite baby blankets. They are perfect as a baby shower gift.

This ampple fabric extends the life of this blanket well into the toddler and early childhood time frame. It also gets softer as you wash it. The lovely fabric options include plain, and three versions of deep jewel tones with patterns. Available in three packs which makes it a perfect baby gift.

The soft, easily washable material really helps the blanket keep well for baby, while comforting the baby easily. There are also no worrisome snaps, Velcro or other attachments to potentially harm your baby.

By combining the bag of "stuff" you take with your baby and the baby's blanket to play on you drastically reduce what you carry and to do it with such style! This blanket/bag is sure to be on every new mom's list of must-haves!
