About this idea
A cellular cotton or knitted blanket with a name stitched in the corner is a classic new-baby and christening present. Some sellers add the date of birth, a small motif or the baby’s weight.
Hand-knitted blankets with an embroidered or appliqué name are available from makers too.
Who it suits
New babies, christenings and naming days.
Ordering in time
Usually stitched to order — wait for the name to be confirmed before ordering.
Before you order
- Confirm the spelling of the baby’s name with the parents.
- The NHS advises keeping a baby’s cot clear of loose blankets, pillows and soft toys (NHS — reducing the risk of SIDS), so think of this as a keepsake, pram or playtime blanket and follow the parents’ lead.
- Check the fabric and washing instructions.
