Little Giraffe Luxe Stroller Baby Blanket, Cream, 29" x 35"

I had purchased one of these for each of my 2 grandsons ( now aged 4&2) before they were even born. The feel of these blankets is so very soft, and my first grandchild actually called his "my so soft" once he could talk. They have been drug around everywhere, washed hundreds of times and still look good, yes the satin binding will probably eventually show it's wear, but the blanket has remained just as soft and now well loved! This purchase was one to stand in the place of the littlest boys first blanket so that it can we secretly whisked it away to wash it as he drags it everywhere both inside and outside so it requires constant washing and he never wants to give it up.In our family's opinion this is the perfect baby/ toddler blanket! With a new baby on the way I will be purchasing another, I hope I'll get a chance to buy a pink one, but really any colour will do :)

Product is what I expected. Shipping was a long time waiting.

Our seven year old daughter started using this Little Giraffe Luxe Blanket in pale pink as a newborn. She still sleeps with it every night. It is her "comfort object." I ended up buying an additional one for when the other was in the wash.This is my favorite style of little giraffe blanket. It is the softest and silkiest that little giraffe makes. I think it holds up better to washing and drying than the chenille version. If you dry the chenille version in the dryer, it is no longer very soft and rather bumpy.We wash my daughter's luxe blankets in our front loader washer on hand wash or a gentle cycle. Then we hang it up to dry. This has keep it much closer to its original, luxurious softness.We did accidentally dry the first one we bought. It is still soft, but my daughter prefers the one that has not been dried in the dryer. It is just a touch softer.I know spending this much on a blanket might seem extravagant. But this is not an ordinary blanket. This is much, much softer and cushioning than a minky blanket. There is nothing else like it on the market.We just purchased another one in cream for my newborn daughter. I love snuggling her in it.It has survived Disneyland and a trip to Europe. It helped keep her warm on the planes. She uses it to sleep with all year round. We also used it in the stroller all the time. Except for extremely hot summer days. But she still wanted it in the car with her no matter the temperature.If you are looking for a lovely baby gift, there is nothing better. Parents and children will find it difficult to put down.

I've owned the full-sized Giraffe at Home throw for several years now and its quality is unsurpassed -- but it's huge and heavy and not conducive to hot summers or dragging from room to room (plus my husband steals it all the time.) I have a thing for small, portable blankets lined with silk (yes, I'm an adult with a security blanket) so when my old baby blanket was put to pasture, I decided to go for mini version of the throw I already loved. All I can say is that as a blanket enthusiast I've never experienced anything as high quality as the Giraffe line. I bought the chocolate color and it's exactly what I wanted. It has that lush feel with soft satin but is not too heavy for hot summer nights. I cuddle up with it every night and always take it on vacation. I'll never be able to settle for anything else, and the first thing I'm going to do when we match for adoption is buy a second one for our baby. As my mother passed the love of silky blankets onto me as a child, so shall I carry on the tradition.

Now..strange as it may be. My GF and I (late 20's) both still have a blanket or pillow from our youths. Her's was a bit of a symbol from her father that she didn't really know and she cherished it as such. But, it came to a point of disrepair and it needed to be retired as it was so tattererd it couldn't be used to sleep with.I searched all over for a replacement and there were many fuzzy sort of baby-blankets out there. I did find some soft ones, but they looked flimsy and poorly made as they were intended for use with a baby and likely not expected to be kept for long.This is perfect! IT'S INCREDIBLY SOFT and the silk border is a nice touch for added comfort while snuggling. The 29x35'' is quite a bit larger than I had expected when actually getting it in your hands, but is just the perfect size for someone to cuddle with.looks like it will last well and really is a wonderful blanket. It's expensive no doubt, but if this is intended to be more than a short term blanket, I'd definitely recommend it for children or even adults!
