If you’re looking for a baby shower gift that may have been overlooked by others, I’d suggest a soft and silky lovey. “Lovey” is a term that I wasn’t familiar with until I arrived in the land of parenthood. Apparently, it refers to small items, mainly blankies, that serve as a source of comfort for your baby.

The Gigi Blanki Co. creates lovey “blankis” that are meant to do just that - a portable mini-blanket that keeps baby feeling nice and secure. These are definitely meant as comfort items and are too small to be useful as a blanket (14″ x 16″). One side is a silky satin fabric and the other is a super-soft nubby fabric, appealing to babies’ attraction to different textures. They come in a variety of different colors and patterns, and you get to choose which ones you want for each side. Price: $25 at The Gigi Blanki Co.
