Every child needs at least one pretty, plush Winnie the Pooh blanket. This is the perfect gift idea for a child that will warm up those chilly evenings spent snuggling with mom or dad while enjoying the classic Winnie the Pooh and friends’ stories. What better way to get in the mood for a good tale than to wrap up a soft coverlet that was given especially for that purpose?
A classic Pooh plush blanket with an embroidered picture of the famous bear, Tigger or Eeyore on the corner accompanied by a copy of the storybook makes a lovely present. You might want to keep some on hand in your gift stash ready and waiting for a toddler’s birthday party or a shower when you got a tip that there is a similar theme waiting to welcome baby home. If you can sew, a cozy quilt in Classic Pooh fabric in a patchwork design can take the place of a plush blanket.
One cool idea is to use a personalized Winnie the Pooh blanket gift set in your gift basket as a liner. Be certain to arrange the folds of the baby blanket so that the corner where you had Winnie the Pooh’s picture and baby’s name and birth date if the blanket has been monogrammed or personalized.
