Personalised Baby Blanket with Name - Bumble Bee Design Custom Newborn Gift - Nella Vosk

I'm going to a baby shower and want a gift that stands out. Any ideas?

A gift with the baby's name on it stands out from the pile of onesies. The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket in the Bumble Bee design carries the name and birthdate on a cheerful bee design. Parents use it from newborn cuddles to toddler snuggles, then keep it as a keepsake.

We don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Is the Bumble Bee design a good pick?

Yes. The Bumble Bee design is a cheerful bee design without a pink or blue theme, so it suits any baby. The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket still needs the baby's name and birthdate at checkout, so it works best once the baby has arrived and the details are known.

My baby has eczema. Is this blanket a good idea?

The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket is 100% polyester minky, not one of our Bamboo Bubby pieces designed for eczema-prone skin. Keep it for cuddles over clothing and for photos. Choose bamboo against the skin, such as the Bamboo Bubby Nap Ninja Bamboo Baby Bodysuit. If the skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP.

I want a keepsake, not another thing they'll outgrow. Is this it?

It's made to last past the baby days. At 76 x 101 cm, the Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket in the Bumble Bee design works as a receiving blanket, a milestone photo prop and a toddler comforter. With the name and birthdate on it, families keep it long after the tiny clothes are packed away.

What size is the Bumble Bee blanket?

The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket measures 76 x 101 cm (30 x 40 inches). It's big enough to wrap a newborn for cuddles, lay out for monthly photos and stay a favourite comforter into the toddler years. It comes in one size. You choose only the name and birthdate.

What age suits this blanket?

Newborn to toddler. It's a receiving blanket for newborn cuddles, a backdrop for monthly milestone photos, and a comforter for your toddler on the couch. The 76 x 101 cm size keeps it useful as your little one grows, and the name and birthdate keep it special.

What does it feel like?

Plush and soft. The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket is a super-soft velveteen minky made from 100% polyester, with a smooth, velvety feel. It's cosy for cuddles in your arms, on the couch or spread on the floor for photos.

What does the Bumble Bee design look like?

It's a cheerful bee design, personalised with your baby's name and birthdate. Check the product photos to see the full design and where the name and date sit before you order. The same blanket also comes in the Pink Heart and Blue Star designs.

How do I add the name and birthdate?

Add your baby's name and birthdate in the personalisation prompts at checkout. Check the spelling and the date before you pay, because each blanket is made to order with the exact details you give. For any question about personalisation, email info@nellavosk.com.au before you order.

How do I take milestone photos with it?

Spread the Bumble Bee blanket flat and place your baby on top, with you right beside them. The name and bees frame the photo. Use the same spot each month so the photos show how much your baby has grown against the same blanket.

Can I use it as a receiving blanket?

Yes. The listing names it as a receiving blanket, for wrapping your newborn during cuddles and feeds while you're holding them. When your baby goes down to sleep, put the blanket aside and use a safe wrap or sleeping bag instead.

What is the Bumble Bee blanket made of?

The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket is 100% polyester, in a super-soft velveteen minky. It isn't made from bamboo. Nella Vosk is also home to Bamboo Bubby, and our Bamboo Bubby bamboo clothing and bedding list their own fabric details on each product page, so you always know what you're buying.

Can my baby sleep with this blanket in the cot?

Keep loose blankets out of the cot for babies. Red Nose safe sleep advice is to sleep babies on their back, with the head and face uncovered, in a safe sleeping bag or firmly tucked bedding. Use this blanket for supervised cuddles, play and photos. For sleep, the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves is a wearable option.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It's a soft polyester minky, made as a keepsake blanket, not for eczema-prone skin. For babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, choose bamboo for anything worn against the skin, such as the Bamboo Bubby Nap Ninja Bamboo Baby Bodysuit or the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves.

Bumble Bee, Pink Heart or Blue Star: what's the difference?

Only the design. All three Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blankets are the same plush 100% polyester minky, 76 x 101 cm, personalised with name and birthdate, at the same price. Pick the Bumble Bee for a cheerful look that suits any baby.

Is a personalised blanket better than a store-bought one?

It's more personal. A plain blanket gets handed down. The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket belongs to one baby, with the Bumble Bee design and their name and birthdate on it. Each one is made to order, which makes it a keepsake as well as a blanket.

Is this the same as the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket?

No. The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket is 100% polyester minky, sized for a baby, with a name and birthdate. The Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket is 100% organic bamboo, in bed sizes. Choose the personalised blanket as a keepsake gift, and the bamboo blanket for bedding.

How much is it, and how long does delivery take?

The Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket in the Bumble Bee design is $49.95. It's made to order with your baby's name and birthdate. Allow about 10 days for delivery in Australia and beyond, or about 7 days in the US. Orders over $99 ship free within Australia.

Can I order more than one?

Yes. Each blanket carries one name and birthdate, so order one per baby with that baby's details. For twins, cousins or a group gift, add a blanket for each child and mix designs if you like. Each is made to order, so allow about 10 days for delivery in Australia.

How do I wash it?

Warm machine wash, then tumble dry low or line dry. Do not bleach and do not iron. Following these steps keeps the Nella Vosk Personalised Baby Blanket in the Bumble Bee design soft and plush, ready to pack away as a keepsake later.
