A new baby is a wonderful time for parents. They’re often showered with gifts from family near and far. As a creative person, I’ve always felt buying off a registry or giving clothes that will only last a few months to be uninspiring and unoriginal. My go-to now is something the baby will cherish long after diapers and bottles.

I’ve heard many stories about how Embroider Buddy® stuffed animals and blankeys become a little one’s best friend, right from when they are gifted and throughout the childhood years.

We recently added to the Embroider Buddy® Blankey collection and have received lovely feedback about the growing options of animals to choose from. Our new Blankey Buddy Bunny and Okie Owl Blankey are now in stock. These blankeys are truly special and are quick to become a snuggly and comforting friend to a little one. Plus, embroiderers love how easy they are to hoop!

Deborah Jones and I filmed this short video to share our ideas for embroidering, wrapping, presenting and using an Embroider Buddy® blankey. We hope it provides you with inspiration for your next baby gift.
