You’vebeen there before: You get the baby shower invite, peruse the registry, and try to figure out what you can buy that will actually be of use. And let’s be honest, a "keepsake blanket" is probably not at the top of your list. Isn’t that just a polite way of saying "blanket that goes in the cedar chest covered with moth balls?"Not anymore. The Blankee Company has created a blanket thatcombinesasoft moon-star patterned plush on one sideand a yummychamois suedethat will please staunch traditionalists and unconventional preggos alike. And unlike those other blankets, these are totally machine washable. Perfect since you’ll actually want to use them.
