When one thinks of a baby blanket, it is likely the next thought is of Linus, the Peanuts comic strip character who was always attached to his blue blanket. A good blanket garners that kind of devotion and what better new baby gift than something that offers such comfort. Sometimes it is good to have another blanket or two for the stroller or car that is not “the blanket”. There are many blankets on the market today, but hand-crafted just seems to suit the purpose better in my mind, so here are a few from Etsy…
Though not necessarily geared toward baby, Urban Outfitters has a blanket modeled after Linus van Pelt’s very own blanket. The Linus Blanket is now on sale for $14.99.
Love sock monkeys? Bam Designs has the blanket for you in addition to a selection of lively (dare I say goofy) blankets, $9 to $30 (shown below).
Flannel Swaddling/Receiving Blankets are available for $12 each from Emma’s Little Creations. There is an absolutely adorable Christmas one available as well as other fun patterns. Can also be purchased as an $18 set with a burp cloth and both may be personalized with the infant’s name embroidered (shown below).
Baffin Bags has baby sets as well as a beautiful Baby Blanket Quilt, $35, made with Amy Butler fabrics (shown below).
Whynott Sewn has a wide assortment of bright and cheerful blankets perfectly sized for babies or toddlers priced at $35 each. So many amazing colors and patterns, it is hard to choose just one (shown below).
Sweet Ginger Designs has blankies for $46 each in sweet sorbet hues and soft cozy fabrics.
Customized Quilts are a speciality of Mom N Mia Quilts and one can be purchased with your colors of choice and initial (or name) starting at $54.95. It can also be ordered in toddler or twin bed sizes, so may be ideal encouragement for a child when getting their first big kid bed (shown below).
Mary Grace Designs has classic baby blankets in soothing colors for $60 each. This alone would be a very thoughtful new baby gift.

A baby blanket can be one of the most important things to your baby. It not only provides comfort and warmth, it provides a sense of security! With all of the wonderful fabrics available today, baby can look stylish as well, while being comforted at the same time! I believe that handmade blankets are also sewn with much care and thought towards all precious babies.
Love the blankets and the choices. My kids just adore their blankets and we take them with us when we travel- that gives them a sense of home while on the road. I agree-i think handmade blankets are made more durable than store bought ones and the choices of material out there make them more fun. I do tend to go for the more fun and goofy materials- bright and fun.
I bought one of Bam designs’ sock monkey blankets as a gift for my friend’s daughter – it is so cute!
Thank you for featuring my monogrammed quilt!
Every baby deserves a special blanket (or several)! Great choices – I also love that monkey blanket . . .will have to go visit Bam!
