A Guide to Unisex Baby Blankets

Whether you're shopping for your own nursery or for a baby gift, unisex baby blankets are a practical option every new parent can use. There's a wide selection of baby blankets at Pottery Barn Kids that are gender-neutral, and they come in many colors and motifs to match nursery furniture and decor.

Gender-Neutral Baby Blankets

When shopping for unisex baby blankets, one of the most important factors is color. Instead of choosing colors that some individuals may relate to gender, such as pink or blue, opt for neutral hues and shades. Yellow is considered by some interior designers as a versatile color for nurseries, but if you prefer muted tones there are plenty of options.

White, ivory, tan, taupe and gray are all examples of unisex colors that go with virtually any other colors. Even black can be worked into the list as an accent color, especially if you're going for a bold, contrasting color scheme or want to complement gray nursery bedding, such as Pottery Barn Kids' Star Wars™ baby bedding collection.

There are unisex baby blankets in plenty of cozy fabrics, such as organic cotton muslin and polyester faux fur. Some of the blankets are made from recycled materials and some are Fair Trade Certified™ to support workers and communities around the world, while also helping to preserve crafting traditions.

Some of these blankets come with matching plushies, such as the Plush Lamb Stuffed Animal and Blanket Set. Just like with Pottery Barn Kids' animal thumbie blankets, the details on these plush toys are embroidered and knotted for an heirloom look and infant safety, as there are no small parts that can come off.

Unisex Baby Pajamas

Pair these unisex baby blankets with coordinating baby pajamas for a cute and practical baby shower gift. There are one-piece pajamas in infant sizes that snap all the way down, so they're easy to get on and off. They come in the same soft, gender-neutral hues as many of the blankets. Wrap these nursery essentials in a gift box, add a handwritten note and your gift is ready for presentation.
