Precious gifts that we held dearly as children, remain dearly in our hearts…
When I was a little girl, my Nanna knit me a baby blanket. As I sucked my thumb, (shhh…don't tell anyone!) I would rub the soft, silky satin on my nose, tickling between my fingers. I called it "my scratchies." It was my security, attached in my hand on hip, as it endured all of my travels. Then I grew to be a toddler, and it dragged along behind me. Even as I ripped holes in it and tripped over "my scratchies," my mom always understood that it was more than my comfort; it was a piece of my Nanna's heart. So when I became too big to carry it around (well, really, too big to bring it to school), she kindly cut off a small piece of the satin for me to keep as a remembrance. It has remained in the top shelf of my bureau, as I continue to journey from place to place.

Whenever I am on the hunt for baby gifts, I always find myself looking for a security blanket!  I want to give a sweet baby that cozy feeling to help comfort and soothe. Since I have yet to take up knitting or sewing, I knew I needed to rely on someone else's special talents. I can happily report that my search is over: I have found the baby blanket at the gigi blanki co. 

I knew as soon as it arrived that this blanket was very special.  It came wrapped with a sweet matching bow, and I marveled at the luxurious little "lovey!" The nubby side is a rich, chocolate brown, and teddy- bear soft, with a light pink, satin side. You can custom design the lovey by choosing from over 10 colors for the nubby side, and even more patterns for the silky side. Get ready to have fun as you match your design to some outfits or make for special occasions.  Orders can also be personalized by opting for a gift wrap and message.  

Soft as fur and sweet in size, I am so pleased with my choice blanket. Each is handmade with care, and can handle multiple washings. Measuring generally about 14 by 20 inches, it is perfect for tiny infant fingers. Plus, it can easily fit in a diaper bag or purse.  You won't need to carefully cut off a small piece to keep forever for your "lovey."  This perfect Gigi Blanki will be treasured always!
