Let me tell you about this little gem that’s become my go-to baby shower gift – the Gunnaicat Cotton Baby Blanket. First off, that bear design? Adorable. It’s like wrapping your baby in a hug from a cartoon forest friend.

The 100% cotton exterior feels like clouds against sensitive skin (I’ve rubbed it on my cheek more times than I’d admit), while the polyester filling strikes that perfect Goldilocks balance – not too thick, not too thin. During summer naps, it’s breathable enough to prevent overheating, yet still provides warmth for chilly AC rooms.

At 85x85cm, it’s ideal for strollers and car seats – I’ve used it to drape over my niece’s carrier during walks, and it stays put without bulk. The scalloped edges add a sweet handmade touch that makes it stand out from basic receiving blankets.

Now for the real test: survival. After 12+ washes (thanks to diaper leaks and pureed carrots), it hasn’t shrunk or faded. The stitching holds up better than my favorite sweatshirt. Pro tip: Toss it in a mesh laundry bag to preserve those cute tassels.

The only nitpick? That stubborn Chinese care label stitched front-and-center. I ended up carefully snipping it off after confirming washing instructions online. Also, grammar nerds beware – the "Bear’s" embroidery might trigger some unnecessary existential thoughts about bear ownership.

At $12.99, it outperforms pricier boutique blankets. Whether you’re a babysitter needing a backup (like me), a parent building a nursery arsenal, or that friend who always gives the best practical gifts – this blanket checks all the boxes. Just be prepared for everyone to ask where you got it!
