What is a Baby Lovey Blanket?

If you're looking for baby shower gifts, consider a baby lovey blanket from Pottery Barn Kids. These cuddly blankets are a cute, cozy addition to any nursery. They come in a variety of styles, so you can find one that's right for your recipient.

Baby Lovey Blanket Features

Baby lovey blankets combine the features of a plush toy with a blanket. When babies are in the infant stage, one of these blanket-toys can serve as a cute nursery decoration. Place one casually on a rocking chair with a decorative pillow or on a shelf until the baby is old enough to use their lovey. During the toddler stage, these blankets can be cuddled and carried around.

There are different lovey blankets from which to choose. For example, you may find bear, bunny and elephant styles available. Each is crafted from plush polyester with a sherpa texture, and the eyes and noses of each animal are stitched with durable French knots. This gives each lovey blanket an heirloom appearance and eliminates the risk of any toy parts coming off.

These baby blankets are yarn-dyed for lasting color. Each fiber is treated with an eco-friendly colorant before being woven into a blanket, which prevents fading. These lovey blankets have look like they'd be dry-clean-only because of the stitched details and luxe feel, but they're actually machine-washable for easy cleaning.

Add a bow and handwritten baby shower card for a gift that's thoughtful and practical.
