::GIVEAWAY CLOSED::
Remember all of those baby blankets you received at your shower that were itchy, scratchy and even broke your newborn’s skin out? I personally have a whole drawer full of unused baby blankets, which are mostly made from microfiber and polyester blends. Is it possible to have a soft, cozy blanket made from natural materials? Obviously, cotton is a soft, natural alternative, but did you know bamboo is as well? I didn’t either until I tried out the Shi Shu Snuggler!
Shi Shu blankets and snugglers were created by mom, Tamre Sutphen, who was fed up when her “son’s favorite blanket caused him to break out in a rash.” She set out to design a natural alternative blanket that was eco-friendly and could breathe. Her research determined that bamboo would be a great solution, since it is a natural antibacterial. She traveled to India, where blankets are handwoven and trimmed in bamboo sateen, perfect for a baby’s touch.
The baby blankets measure 30 by 40 inches, which is large enough to wrap your baby up warmly. I was able to try out the Snuggler, which measures 16 by 16 inches and is great for taking on short trips to the store, play dates and more. The blankets and snugglers are made with 60% cotton and 40% bamboo. I was very surprised that bamboo provided such a soft, cozy material. My son, 13 months, instantly started carrying the little Snuggler around and still loves to play with it! (especially by placing it on his head) They come in many soothing colors like blue, pink, lemon and celedon.
Shi Shu’s material is so unique that their bigger throw, designed for their Shi Shu Home line, was included in the 66th Golden Globe Awards gift bags! How cool is that?
I love the idea of a eco-friendly, natural option for baby blankets and consider it a wise investment for your baby. The Shi Shu Baby Blankets are $88.00 and the Snugglers are $29. Visit the Shi Shu Baby website at www.shishustyle.com to learn more and to purchase your own! You won’t be disappointed with the quality and texture of this amazing material! Thank you to Shi Shu Baby for allowing me to test the Snuggler!

I SOOOOOOOO need that blankie. My niece just found out she is expecting (first baby) and due in October. That would be PERFECT! That looks so neat. I wish when my kids were little they had those. My son had horrible skin issues and that would have been so great.

My son LOVES soft blankets and I have been unable to find one that is not a security blanket size. He is 6 months old. When he needs comforting he rubs his little blanket in his face. How great it would be to have a full sized, soft, antibacterial, and natural fibered blankie for him! It is a dream!

We have a foster baby and I would love to have one of these blankets for her, I think the one is celedon.

My daughter’s little boy is due in March. The one thing she didn’t receive many of at her baby shower was blankets. I’ve been searching to buy a few but I haven’t found just the right blankets that I felt were both affordable and made with baby soft skin in mind. Most that I have found will not withstand excessive laundry wear and tear without bunching up, shrinking, and getting all fuzzy. Maybe the Shi Shu will be the answer I’m looking for. The lemon would be awesome. It would match the nursery perfectly!

My friend just had a baby boy and I would love him to have one of these blankets. They are so beautiful and I love the fact that these blankets are made from bamboo making them naturally antibacterial and I love there are no chemicals in it as well or fake fibers.

The name immediately captured me! Did you know, “Shishu” in Indian language literally means “baby”?!
The blankets look so comfy and yet stylish. So do the Throws!

Just what we’ve been looking for. My son has an old ratty and tatty hand me down blanket. He would greatly appreciate one like this.
[Reply]
I love the way they look and that they are made from natural fibers.

I would like to win (especially the lavender blanket) because honestly, my daughters blanket is disgusting! I know she loves it, but it’s embarassing, I wouldn’t dare take it outside with us, lol. This would be a nice blanket to make her “to-go” blankie. lol
