Blanket Friend Giveaway from For Your Bug-A-Boo
Posted by Diane under: Baby Toys; Contest; Product Review; Toys .
I remember when my son was a newborn. He may have been a big baby, but place him next to his stuffed animal menagerie, and he all but disappeared in what looked like a forest of giant bears and lions. It seemed like it would be forever before he was able to cuddle with those big fluffy animals. I wish I would have had a Blanket Friend back then. These cuddly little bunnies make sense for newborns because they’re made from 100% organic Egyptian cotton cloth with sweet bunny faces. There are knots in the ends of the blankets so teething babies can chew, and since the dye used on the fabric is also natural and nonmetal, parents don’t have to worry about what’s being gnawed on. It’s also machine washable, and the fabric is thick so it looks like it would hold up well.
One thing I noticed after receiving my Blanket Friend from For Your Bug-A-Boo is the pleasant smell of fresh cotton. Not something I’m used to seeing in a fabric toy. The other thing I noticed was my son’s fascination with the bunny. He’s two (already!) and much bigger than those previously mentioned stuffed animals, but he immediately picked up the bunny and hugged and stroked it.
For Your Bug-A-Boo, an online store featuring a large selection of natural and non-toxic baby and toddler products, is offering one sage colored Blanket Friend for one of you! For Your Bug-A-Boo offers natural toys, organic clothing, diapering, bedding, and just about anything else you can think of for natural parenting. It’s a great stop if you have a little one on the way, or if you’re shopping for a baby shower. Everything I found on the site looked safe and chemical free, which we all know I love!
