The Fuzz Factor – I Love my little Blankee

"I love my little Blankee... "starts the poem on the label of my son's absolute-favorite-cannot-live-without-it blanket. I remember reading it when we received the blanket as a newborn gift, wondering if it would live up to the hype. After four years in children's garment industry and ten as a parent, I have seen a bazillion blankies and as a result, I am a little jaded and slow to impress. But something about the clean simplicity and directness, not to mention the uber-softness of this product, made me take note. This basic blue furry blanket by My Blankee was the infant equivalent of a perfect little black dress.

It was no surprise to me that the company has grown and flourished in the last two years. Their line now includes clothing and accessories for infants through adults. From carseat covers, to ponchos, to buntings, jackets, robes and spa wraps, it's a world of softness. Of course their expanded blanket line is just amazing. The designs are still delightfully simple and classic, and free of fussy embellishment. But the selection of prints and textures has gone wild. So if you dig wild animal prints, Meow! (Allergy sufferers take note - all of their furry products are hypoallergenic and do not shed. Unlike my cat. )

From the low loft velours to my daughter's dream blanket - the plushiest, shaggiest "Super Fuzzy" there is a perfect depth of fuzz for all. Also up for gimme grabs are bumpy blankets, star embossed snugglies, and a delicious raspberry swirl lovie. Bindings vary from plain old vanilla satin to Asian silky brocades. You will surely find something that is uniquely perfect for your child/nursery. Biggest problem? Choosing just one.

Which brings me to my last suggestion. Do not let the kiddos have all the fun! Don't you deserve a little snuggly comfort as well? Go ahead and pamper your tired self with a double sided velour or fuzzy robe. Guaranteed to make those middle of the night winter feedings a lot more cozy and luxurious. Trust me, you will treasure your robe as much as your child treasures their blankee. You may even find yourself repeating the promise on the label "I love my little blankee, I take it wherever I go, It keeps me warm and cozy, At home or on the go".
