One thing that new parents are always looking for is good baby blankets. Since baby blankets serve so many different purposes for a child from infancy through early childhood, they are an important part of every child's life. In infancy the blanket serves the purpose of keeping the infant warm, as a cover in the stroller or car seat, as a play mat on the floor, or as a changing pad while traveling.
For the nursery, most parents look for cute, embroidered or decorated blankets to match a certain theme they might have in the nursery or a certain color depending on the gender of the child. Another great gift idea is embroidered blankets to match many baby outfits. Most infants have a blanket over them while out traveling, so a blanket that matches an outfit is a great idea, as it makes the parent?¡¥s job of looking for coordinating items much simpler.
Another type of embroidered blanket that is offered is blankets that have the child's name or initials embroidered on it, which is always a nice addition to any nursery. Some blankets are made to become a "special item" to the child with a stuffed animal turned into a blanket, with the child's name monogrammed onto it as well.
No matter what type of baby blanket you end up choosing, it is bound to be treasure by both parents and child for years to come.
