Blankets are one of those quintessential baby gifts that may feel like the ultimate been there, done that in terms of style. But a cozy throw that doesn't scream "cutesy wootsy" is a parenting staple; you can cozy up during those nighttime feedings, snuggle together while watching a movie, and as your child grows he can use it for fort-building and imaginary picnics.

I'm digging this frog throw blanket from the Modern Basics Big Boo collection. If the big froggy eyes disturb you rather than delight, you might prefer the dragonfly throw blanket or perhaps the hippo throw blanket instead. All are made from fleece with yarn embroidery, and are machine wash/dry. In your choice of four colors, because somewhere, someone really wants a pink frog.
