| maggsmomm's Full Review: Carters Receiving Blanket Set, 4 Pk. John Lennon C... |
Carter's Receiving Blanket Set, 4 pk. John Lennon Collection 13147
A lot of baby shower gifts are receiving blankets. I know I got at least twenty at my shower, and thankfully most of them were duplicate brands and colors. Mostly pink but a few yellow and blue here and there for those party goers who were hoping for a boy.
The Carter's were by far my favorite. Carter's infants line has cute designs for boys and girls. But they had just released John Lennon's line and not all of the blankets were available.
I did luck onto this set: Carter's Receiving Blanket Set, 4 pk. John Lennon Collection 13147 .
The blankets come in a 4 pack which is perfect for gift giving. The are neatly rolled and are displayed in a box where you can view the blankies.
Each receiving blanket is made of 100% cotton flannel which makes them extremely soft, especially after a few washings. The sides of the blankets are hemmed so they will not unravel after frequent washings.
They are made very well. We still use these blankets for dolls and of course one to drag behind Doodle. They have held together wonderfully after more than 2 years of use. They still look brand new.
Each blanket is approximately 30 x 40 inches. These blankets are a tad bigger than most receiving blankets. This is great for bigger babies, such as my Doodle. Who was weighed in at birth-a whopping 9lbs 11 ounces.
The set includes two white receiving blankets and two yellow receiving blankets. All four have the same pattern, the John Lennon design.
If you haven't seen it is wonderful! It is suitable for either sex and is cute as it can be. His animals are abstract but identifiable. The colors are pretty pastels and soft primaries that blend well with almost any outfit or room decor.
Doodle wore matching outfits that complimented these blankets perfectly!
I took a few to the hospital for use on the ride home.
Once I got settled in, I used them for swaddling Doodle, throwing them over my shoulder for a burp rag, and letting her lay when at changing stations when I forgot to pack the changing pad.
They are perfect as gifts as you can never have too many receiving blankets the first year, or they are a great bargain for the mother-to-be.
I recommend THESE and all other Carter's products because they are well made and will last forever!
Happy Swaddling!
