Okay, this baby blanket from Dear Baby Gear is seriously soft. It's made with two layers of that amazing minky fabric everyone loves – one side has a cute custom print (this one's white elephants), and the other side is a coordinating opal blue minky dot. The print uses eco-friendly inks that won't fade or run in the wash, which is awesome. Minky is just the best – it's a plush, short-pile fabric that's ultra-soft, has a little stretch, and is made for cuddling. It's also super durable and won't shrink, pill, or get matted even after lots of washes. The size is perfect for a crib or for your little one to drag around – about 38 inches by 29 inches. It's a medium weight, so it's cozy but not too heavy or bulky, which is safer for babies. Customers rave about this being their kid's absolute favorite 'go-to' blanket. Care is easy: machine wash gentle in cold water, tumble dry low. No fabric softener or bleach. It makes a fantastic baby shower gift or a special treat for your own newborn's nursery. It's cute, it's practical, and it's incredibly soft.
