It is always hard to think of a great gift for a baby shower but a baby blanket could just be the answer to earning yourself the "best gift" award at the party. With a wide range of original and clever designs available today you can't go wrong here.

However, what could be more ordinary than a baby blanket you say? Used for many hundreds of years to swath a baby and to provide needed warmth, it is difficult to imagine somebody coming up with a novel idea for a blanket. Well think again. Baby blankets have discovered whole new heights of fun and creativity.

"Pigs in a Blanket" is just one example that combines a clever design with a practical gift. This lovely two-piece gift set will cause lots of "oohs" and "aahs" when the proud mother opens the beautifully decorated gift box which comprises a delightful vintage container surmounted by an organza bow.

Inside is a plush blanket that can be printed with a lovely phrase or simply personalized. It's wrapped around a gorgeous pig in the style of a teddy bear that will soon become the baby's favorite. Made in stain-resistant polyester which will last for years, it might well even be passed down to the next generation.

This gift also includes a children's story book rhyme designed to complement the other two items. "This Little Piggy" printed on the reverse was never such fun and the five little piggies dancing on the front certainly agree.

Another fun gift is the JoJo Giraffe toy that also comes with its own special blanket inside its own keepsake box. At 20 inches tall it will proudly occupy a spot in the corner until the baby can no longer resist the temptation to play with it... which will take approximately ten seconds. With his legs and arms wrapped around a colorful keepsake box done in similar style, JoJo is undoubtedly a perfect gift.

The blanket that accompanies the gift adds greatly to the delight that both mom and baby will receive from this gorgeous item. Very easily personalized with the baby's name, the sunshine yellow fleece is both warm and soothing. Additionally, at 40 inches by 30 inches, it is ample size for a use as a decorative bed cover or a baby blanket.

But baby blankets that are standalone items can also make for perfect gifts. One excellent example of this is The Maddie's Meadow. Brightly and colorfully decorated with flowers and butterflies on a background of pink, it is extremely inviting. The gift box also carries a matching theme with fluffy pink clouds and bright green grass that are a reminder of the joys of spring. Personalization is also easily accomplished as a result of the generous satin border that surrounds the soft fleece.
