A popular baby blanket that has been promoted by quite a few mommy bloggers recently is the Little Giraffe Travel Chenille blanky.  What are they raving about?  The hype is over recent celebrity endorsements, but underlying this hip factor is this blanket’s profile as a good baby shower gift.  Let’s look deeper into the factors that gave Little Giraffe such a following.  For starters, the travel blanky is one of the smallest choices of Little Giraffe bedding.  At hardly 14 inches square, this blanket could pass for a napkin at some French restaurants I have dined in.  But its diminutive nature is actually perfect for draping over infants in a car seat, or for an impromptu diaper change while running errands around town.

The blanket is made of a special chenille weave that is soft and durable.  Like all of Little Giraffe’s baby blankets, the travel blanky can be washed at home in the machine, and dried in confidence that it will not shrink or pill.  This is the advantage of microfiber or synthetic blends over traditional cotton blankets.  My favorite feature of the travel blanket is the satin trim.  It feels great to the skin and is a favorite of babies as well.  This reason alone is probably why the buzz about Little Giraffe keeps getting louder.
