Google won’t reveal why they are called Bunny Rugs, but the options for blankets to keep your little one cosy are endless. From plush to practical, check out these bundles of snugness

 

SPLURGE

 

If you need a Dior blanket to go with your dummy and bottle, then just $340 will see you on your way to Accessorised Heaven. It features Mother of Pearl buttons and folds up into a neat little bag. It should probably also change nappies and puree food for that price, but hey, it is very, very cute…

This funky wool blanket by Italian label NUME is hand-stitched and has a cute little Gingerbread man in it’s pocket! At $166 (plus international shipping) it’s not cheap, but dang, it’s cool…

Lambykins Merino Wool Blanket and cap set $169.95 from Bebe  – made in Aus and classically beautiful (also comes in colours if you’re rightly worried about it getting dirty). They also sell gorgeous hooded cotton wraps from Eeni Meeni Miini Moh for $44.95  and the wool/cotton cot blanket for $189.

Amelie’s Room have gorgeous and unique 100% cotton jersey blankets  for about $129 for cot blankets and $69 for wraps. The designs are modern, edgy and colourful and to be honest, look like they cost much more than they do!

Plush-tastic (yes I did just say that, ‘cos there is no other word) Minimink make gorgeous and versatile blankets from $88, in beautiful neutral shades. Plus they have matching teddy bears for $18!

Purebaby’s 100% organic Muslin wraps are just $14.95 and are fantastic for gorgeous design without the price tag!

For $39.95 this stylish baby blanket from Comme Les Grands is a fab buy – with combed cotton on one side and velvety cotton on the other it’s versatile in any season and can be used to swaddle or as a cot blanket!

Aussie label Fish Lilly make sweet and soft wraps with vibrant designs. Grab one for a gorgeous gift at CradleRock for $47.95.

Urban Baby has Aden & Anais 4-pack muslin wraps for $59.95, which is a bargain for such beautiful styles.  Neutral is great for newborn, but they also have a huge range of boy or girl colours.

Your newborn prince or princess deserves the best of everything, but price isn’t always a guarantor of quality, even if it does impress the neighbours. Shop around, think about what suits you and your family, and remember that your bub is probably most happy naked, on a soft surface with a bit of rustly paper and something to chew on. He or She doesn’t know or care if it’s couture or cheap – but if Dior shoes and designer nappies make Mummy happy, then go for it!
