Baby Blankets For That Baby Shower!

The last encounter I had with baby blankets was when I went shopping for a baby shower gift.
It is one of the few types of gifts I like shopping for because I always choose the same type of gift for baby showers - baby blankets.
A baby really cannot have too many blankets.
He or she will need a blanket to be wrapped in after the bath, to be laid on for diaper changing, to be swaddled in for an afternoon snooze, to lie or sit on when playing on a hard floor surface and a thousand other daily events.
My gifts are never boring or repetitive.
The range of options in baby blankets is quite astounding.
I enjoy the choice of textures, fabrics, and colors.
They are never offensively garish and they are always soft and comforting.
They come in different sizes, thicknesses and prices.
You can have knit or crocheted crafted wraps, tiny quilts, durable polyester, wool, or cashmere blankets.
Here is how you can shop for baby blankets and become an expert gift buyer.
Before you get overwhelmed by the idea of prowling through aisles of pastel colors and feeling the softness of the fabric or checking the quality of the stitching, think about the price range and the color.
There is no magic to these choices other than they set parameters on what you are looking for.
There are so many choices, start narrowing them down even more right from the start.
Decide if the blanket is to be used to keep the baby warm and cozy or if it is to offer support for the infant by giving a nice tight wrap.
Wrapping is best done with a lighter and thinner material that does not stretch too much.
Warming is provided by material with a tight weave.
If the blanket is just to cover the baby, the heavier the fabric the better because it can't be shifted around too much by a squirming baby.
The traditional blues and pinks still prevail but this is because these are good color choices for a small child.
They are soft and gentle colors.
Patterns can stimulate a child's brain and these soft colors can be used to make baby-friendly pattern without being overwhelming for the infant.
