  Handmade Baby Blankets by AllyZabba
Maggie Mason, author of the popular shopping blog Mighty Goods says it best, "Softer than a baby's butt. Compare and contrast, if you don't believe me…They're machine washable and buttery delicious. A fine extravagant gift for a baby..." Why do babies love their handmade AllyZabba blankets so much? We understand they love the feel of the silky side against their skin because it is very similar in texture to the lining of the uterus! Everyone tells us their babies sleep better, and mom and dad love the retro-dot styling available in their choice of colors and styles.
