Posted by Namely Newborns on Jan 1st 2015
Are you looking for a great gift for a baby boy? Buying a baby blanket for a baby boyis a cinch if you remember one thing. Baby boys are tiny versions of men and want things that read as male. Although they are cute and adorable as babies , they are still guys. You may get away with covering them with a fussy blanket with lace, ribbons and bows when they are infants. But the minute they are old enough to kick it off with their little feet; it will be on the floor. A baby boy will never drag around a blanket with ribbons.
So what kind of blanket will baby boy love forever. He wants something to attach himself to that will be his signature blanket for comfort and security as long as he needs it. This blanket should be washable and sturdy enough to withstand being tossed around and dragged through dirt and grass. It should be large enough to cover him on the sofa when he watches TV and small enough so that mom can tuck it in her diaper bag when going out for the day. Anything blue is guaranteed to be a hit. Navy, aqua, light blue and dark blue are all sure to please. Choose a soft , durable fabric in one of these colors and add baby's name and birth date for an extra special touch.
If you want to choose a color other than blue, there are many great choices. Shades of green, brown, orange , red ,cream and even white make great baby blankets for boys. These neutrals can be made more masculine by your choice of embroidery thread. Add personalization in bright blue or rich shades of brown and you have a fabulous gift for baby boy.
Baby boys love animals. Monkeys are especially popular as well as frogs and sharks. Every little guy loves machines and anything with wheels; so blankets with tractors, trains, cars, airplane or rocket ships are going to be a keeper.
If the blanket has a sports motif, it will automatically become a favorite. Any type of sports ball will do; soccer balls, baseballs, footballs, basketballs are all popular. If you can find a blanket shaped like a ball; you have really scored a touchdown. Baseball blankets are also a hit for any season. The added advantage of a sports motif blanket is that Dad will be proud as punch to carry a baby covered with a blanket showing off his favorite sport.
