Review: Blanket Baby Royale

Who would have thought that a blanket made of bamboo could be so soft? A while back I was given the opportunity to try one, the Baby Royal Blanket, and at the first touch I was amazed. I could have easily wrapped myself in it and forget about the rest of the world…

So why use bamboo to make blankets? There are many reasons but the main ones are that:

• it is fully regenerative (it doesn’t need replanting as it is only trimmed not cut)
• ecologically friendly (no pesticides are needed due to its naturally occurring anti bacterial properties)
• it is also hypo-allergenic and three times more absorbent than cotton!

Isn’t the latter just what you want with a newborn baby? Add to this softness and luxurious feel and you have got the perfect baby blanket!

These blankets come in three colours: pink, blue and white.

They retail at £47 each and if the price seems a bit high for a baby blanket I have to say that it is worth every penny. I would personally categorise it as a baby gift, as I would find the price a bit high for a personal purchase, especially when there is so much to purchase with a new baby. But as part of a baby list or birth gift it is ideal. The quality is undeniable, and I am sure that it is a product made to last, so you can’t go wrong.

Baby Royale is still a young company but with a great future ahead, no doubt about that.  They specialise in luxury baby blankets and their product is already retailed at several baby boutiques. Not only this but they are in advanced discussions with Fortnum and Mason interested in retailing the baby blanket!

This is a very lovely present to give and/or receive!
