Fill in the Blankie: Now for Big Kids

I have been meaning to post for a long time about R's new blanket from Fill in the Blankie, which longtime readers know is one of my favorite places to buy a personalized baby gift. Now, Fill in the Blankie makes toddler/child sized blankies (prices vary) which are generous keepsake gifts for older "babies." R. has one in pink that, believe it or not, has replaced her beloved "Blankee" and "Hockie" which were two plush animals she slept with every night from infancy through age 4. When she saw her new pink blanket from Fill in the Blankie, she shunned those and has been sleeping with this ever since. It was a little tricky picking out just the rights words to personalize a blanket for a 5-year-old, but I settled on one of my favorite quotes, which I first read when I was pregnant with her- "People search and search for the meaning of life/Until they hold a baby/Then they know it." This covers 3 sides of the blanket, and on the fourth side I put her name and birthhdate. If you like it, feel free to borrow the idea. Any blanket, really, from Fill in the Blanket is sure to be a hit. I've given these as gifts and people save them forever. Visit Fill in the Blankie.
