One of the most appreciated Baby Blanket gift would have to be a Handmade Baby Blanket!

With the abundance of manufactured goods these days there is nothing more wonderful than knowing that someone cares for you and your family so much that they have taken the time out of their busy lives to make your new Baby Blanket herself.

Here are some of the fantastic ways to hand make a Baby Blanket

1: A knitted Blanket

2: A Crocheted Blanket

3: A hand quilted Patchwork Blanket

4: A textile collage Baby Blanket

5: A sewn Baby Blanket

It is a really good idea to know what the mothers taste is like and to find out what colors she plans to use for her Baby. Luckily a lot of mothers find out the sex of the child before it is born, so they can decide early what colors they are going to paint the Nursery and what colors they will use for curtains and bedding. You may have to do a little snooping and ask some subtle questions to find out what you need to know.

Only choose Baby safe materials and make sure that the blanket will be warm and snuggly. If the Baby is due to be born in the summer then using Cotton or natural fibers would be most appropriate.

A lovely finishing touch would be to sign the Baby Blanket before you present the gift. It is easy these days to get beautiful little tags embroidered with your message and signature. Just sew one in the corner of the Blanket

A unique personalized Baby Blanket Gift will be welcomed by a new Mother and Baby. These Baby Blankets can become a special Heirloom, which will be cherished for years to come.

Not only can you choose a special theme, which you think will suit this Baby the best but you can also have his or her name, initials and/or date of birth embroidered on the blanket. They can also have the babies weight and height embroidered onto them if you wish.

If you want even more personalization of the Baby Blanket that you are giving, there are companies who will embroider your warmest wishes all around the four satin edges of the Blanket.

You could choose to use quotes that would suit Baby or even affirmations tailored especially to the Baby. Get really creative and tell a story to Baby on the edges of the Blanket. This is the ultimate in personalized Baby Blankets. These Blankets can have up to 200 Characters printed on them. Here are some examples of what people have ordered in the past.

1: Brianna Renee Thompson was born May 2, 2006
Personalized Baby Blanket Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight
Baby Gift I wish I may, I wish I might,
Personalized Blankie Have the wish I wish tonight.

2: Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

3: Baby Roberts, we loved you before we even knew you
Have sweet days and even sweeter dreams.
Sugar and spice, and everything nice,
That’s what little girls are made of.

Later Mum could hang the Blanket on the wall as a decoration or hang it over the end of the cot. The more personalized the blanket is, the more it will be appreciated.

I think we all now agree that “Organic” is best! Most Baby Blankets are made with Cotton. Natural Fibers are far superior to man made and we are now turning more and more back to the Natural as being the best for us.

Did you know that $2.6 Billion is spent on pesticides every year to grow “100% natural cotton”? Formaldehyde has been added to “natural cotton” since the 1970’s and research has shown it still remains even after initial washing. Cotton production uses more chemicals per unit than any other crop and accounts in total for 16% of the world’s pesticides.

Organic Cotton is cotton that is grown without pesticides from plants that have not been genetically modified.

I am sure you want only the very best when you are buying a Baby Blanket for a gift. An Organic Blanket, whether its wool, cotton, silk or even bamboo, will fit the bill perfectly and you will know that not are you thinking of Babies health and welfare but you will be giving a lovely gift as well.

I have also found that you can buy Organic baby blankets and have the personalized and embroidered as well. So it seems that everything you can buy in the way of Baby Blankets you can also buy ones that are Organic.

Knowing you are giving a gift that is the absolute best, will give you much satisfaction and will be much appreciated by the family you are giving the gift to.
