Baby showers, baptismal and birthday parties are usually a dilemma. We usually find it so hard to think of the perfect gift. Sure, we know that it has to be useful, meaningful, appropriate and hopefully ı not too expensive.
Baby blankets might be the answer to your problems. From the name itself, these are blankets made specifically for infants, from a newborn to a 2 year old baby. It fits to all the qualities mentioned above ı itıs useful (whoıs baby doesnıt want to feel comfortable in snuggling with a soft and fragrant blanket?), meaningful (wait ıtill I tell you how to personalize them ı you can put the celebrantıs name and even his picture!), appropriate (great for any occasions, even if thereıs none) and yes, cheap. Prize ranges from $13-$30. If you prefer to go lesser, unleash your creativity and start working!
These blankets come in varying types- cotton, cashmere, silk, fleece, flannel, satin and crocheted. They may be like the common blankets- rectangle or square, and some are creatively designed, with animal head shapes, and with a wide range of prints and patterns. Some are made especially for boys and girls, some as crib blanket and some are not gender specific.
When it comes to gift giving, as they say, itıs the thought that counts. You may want to opt for personalized baby blankets. The first thing to consider is the quality of the cloth ı it must be soft and non-allergic, considering how sensitive the babyıs skin is. Best choice is cashmere and cotton for they are mild and comfortable. Next is the color. Do you want to base it on the gender of the baby? Commonly, blue is for baby boys and pink for girls. But you can always think outside of the box! Try pale and cool colors, like sky blue and light green. Go for prints- stripes, navy, retro, polka dots and floral. After the motif, the design will take place. If you havenıt chosen an already-designed cloth, then you can consider embroidering it with flowers, vines, animal patterns or the babyıs name. You may also out eye-catching statements like: ıThe cutest baby aliveı or serious messages (ıGodıs greatest blessingı). Ribbons, sequence, buttons and even a free teddy bear will add to the cute-ness factor. Just make sure that it is baby-friendly - no small beads that is prone to choking! The usual baby blankets sold in the market have printed borders- where the babyıs name, the event or some personal messages are sewed.
Crocheted blankets are also nice, especially if it was made by you. If youıre interested, you may start by buying a beautiful pattern (available at sewing shops), be it a simple and traditional or the tightly stitched and solid look. In choosing the Twisting Yarn, aside from its design and color, remember the acrylic types are easier to clean and that cotton yarn are perfect for sensitive skin.
Whatever the outcome of your gift is, what matters most is the time and heart spent on making the gift.
