There is nothing sweeter than seeing your little one snuggled up with their blanket. When I was little, I had two baby blankets that would never leave my side. Of course, towards the end of my childhood they hardly resembled blankets anymore, but that’s besides the point. I loved cuddling up with them at night, and they were my comfort objects. Aidan has a few comfort objects, most of which are dummies (I’m realizing that weaning him off that will be a challenge!). But I’ve always wanted him to have his very own blanket (or “blankie” as I called mine). I have a drawer full of various baby blankets that we’ve accumulated since I was pregnant, but none that I deemed special enough to be the blanket, you know? 1st Birthday Gifts stepped in and sorted that right out. They have sent Aidan quite possibly one of the loveliest baby blankets that I’ve ever seen.
1st Birthday Gifts provides beautiful, personalized gifts for any occasion. They have you covered for any special event, from baby showers to christenings, and pretty much every major holiday as well. And don’t just think they only have gifts for children; parents and grandparents are not left out! I’m impressed by the wide range of gifts that 1st Birthday Gifts has. They have things like baby blankets, bibs and dressing gowns for little ones, and gorgeous keepsakes for adults; think keyrings, frames and glassware.
This gorgeous baby blanket is so incredibly cozy. With a knitted top side and a soft, white fleece on the reverse side, it is so soft and cuddly and perfect for cooler weather as well. The playful little pompoms are a sweet touch, as well. Aidan absolutely loves cozying up in bed with it, or on the couch next to me. I love peeking in his room while he’s sleeping and seeing him resting peacefully, snuggling up to his blanket. He’s become such a cuddly little toddler recently and loves soft things; if there is a pillow or blanket like this within reach he HAS to cuddle it. He’s in that “sweet and sour” age, and his sweetness outweighs the sour, that’s for sure.
Every gift that 1st Birthday Gifts can be customized using their wonderful personalization service. You can choose from a wide range of fonts and colors to make the perfect, bespoke gift for it’s recipient. I got Aidan’s blanket personalized in white using their “Another Day” font, and I love how it looks in contrast to the grey blue knitted fabric. Personalized baby blankets are such great gifts, in my opinion. So if you’re ever stuck for gift ideas you honestly cannot go wrong with one! All of their gifts come with free gift wrapping as well. The gifts are packaged in a craft box, nicely wrapped with a ribbon and a gift note upon request, ready to hand off to the special person they’re meant for.
With Christmas fast approaching, it’s definitely time to start making up those lists! I was originally going to wait and give Aidan the blanket for his birthday or Christmas, but I just could not help myself. If this is a sign of what’s to come, I’m really going to struggle keeping his gifts from him until his birthday and Christmas!
