I want a newborn gift that feels personal. What should I get?

A gift with the baby's name on it feels made for them, because it is. The Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket carries the baby's name and birthdate on a plush Blue Star design. Families use it from newborn cuddles to toddler snuggles, then keep it as a keepsake.

The baby shower is coming up. Will the blanket arrive in time?

Each blanket is made to order. Allow about 10 days for delivery in Australia and beyond, or about 7 days in the US. If the date is close, order as early as you're able. For a tight deadline, email info@nellavosk.com.au before you order.

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

The Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket is 100% polyester minky. It isn't one of our bamboo pieces designed for eczema-prone skin. Keep it for cuddles and photos, and 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.

Baby clothes get outgrown in weeks. Will this last?

Clothes are outgrown fast. A blanket isn't. At 76 x 101 cm, the Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket works as a receiving blanket, a milestone photo prop and a toddler comforter. The name and birthdate make it a keepsake to put away once your little one has grown.

What size is the blanket?

The Bamboo Bubby 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 milestone photos, and stay a favourite comforter into the toddler years. It comes in one size, so you choose only the name and birthdate.

What age is it for?

Newborn to toddler. Use it as a receiving blanket for cuddles in the newborn days, a backdrop for monthly milestone photos, and a comforter as your little one grows. At 76 x 101 cm, it stays useful as your baby grows, and the name and birthdate keep it special long after.

What does it feel like?

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

What design is it?

This listing is the Blue Star design, personalised with your baby's name and birthdate. Check the product photos to see the full design and how the name and date sit on the blanket before you order. The design and personalisation are made to order for each blanket.

How do I add the name and birthdate?

Add your baby's name and birthdate in the personalisation prompts at checkout. Double-check the spelling and the date, because each blanket is made to order with the details you give. For any question about the personalisation, email info@nellavosk.com.au before you order. Delivery takes about 10 days in Australia.

How do I use it for milestone photos?

Lay the blanket flat and place your baby on top, with you beside them the whole time. The name and Blue Star design frame the photo. Take a photo in the same spot each month to show how much they've 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 blanket made of?

The Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket is 100% polyester, in a super-soft velveteen minky. It isn't made from bamboo. Bamboo Bubby is our brand name, and our bamboo clothing and bedding list their own fabric details on each product page.

Is it safe for my baby to sleep with?

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.

Personalised blanket or sleeping bag: which do I need?

They do different jobs. The Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket is a keepsake for cuddles, photos and play. The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves is a wearable 1 to 1.5 TOG bag for sleep, with fully enclosed sleeves for eczema-prone skin. Together they make a thoughtful newborn gift.

How is this different from a plain baby blanket?

The name and birthdate. A plain blanket gets passed on. A personalised one becomes theirs, with the Blue Star design and their details on it. Each one is made to order for a single baby, which makes it a keepsake as well as a blanket.

Is this the same as the Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Blanket?

No. The Bamboo Bubby 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 Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket 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 or cousins born close together, add a blanket for each child. Each is made to order, so allow about 10 days for delivery in Australia.

How do I care for it?

Warm machine wash, then tumble dry low or line dry. Do not bleach and do not iron. Following the care steps keeps the Bamboo Bubby Personalised Baby Blanket soft and plush, ready to be packed away as a keepsake when your little one outgrows it.
