Now that the chilly autumn winds are rolling in and the days of endless sunshine are behind is, it's time to start stocking up on the layers that will keep our little ones wrapped up from the plummeting temperatures. In some countries we've heard they expose their tiny tots to the cold for hours on end to build up their tolerance to bad weather, but we prefer the slightly more traditional method of wrapping them up in a nice warm blanket.

Our Star and Stripe Trim Blanket is a charming addition to your baby's cot or pram, made in a classic white cotton blend with a stripy appliqué star and trim. Like most of our products, it can be personalised for free to add a lovely extra touch. Just tell us your little your little one's name and we'll embroider it in your choice of colour and font.

Should you be feeling environmentally conscious, then our 100% Bamboo Jacquard Knit Blanket is the one for you.  Made in a gorgeous jacquard heart pattern which is as soft as it is snuggly, this will keep your precious little bundle wrapped up safe and sound for as long as need be. Just like our star and stripe trim blanket it can be customised for free, and is perfect for swaddling those tiny limbs in ethical, luxurious comfort.

If you're still nursing your little one, our Personalised Breastfeeding Blanket is the perfect option for when you're out and about, complete with a cheeky slogan to ward off disapproving glances. After all breastfeeding is a vital source of nutrition for babies and has been practiced since the dawn of time – so why do people still get so worked up about it? Our lovely blanket is soft, fleecy and comes in either pink or blue to suit your baby's gender – or even your own preferences.

Of course, once they've had enough of feeding they'll fancy some playtime, and our Personalised Patchwork Baby Quilt is just the ticket. Featuring an appliqué elephant, cottage, teddy bear, train, house and sailboat, it's a squishy and lovingly made mat which is suitable for all manner of teeny baby activities. The shapes and textures will stimulate their early learning, whilst the personalised embroidery will leave them in no doubt as to who's the most important little toddler in mummy and daddy's eyes.

With the right blanket you can soothe little one with your scent even when you're not in the room, and its softness will remind your baby of all the warmth and compassion that you offer them.
