Giving a personalized baby blanket as a gift for a new baby makes for a great gift. Whether it's a relative or a close friend, a baby blanket that is personalized is a unique and very beneficial gift idea. Not only is it personalized, but it's also very useful for the baby.

You can find companies that will embroider these blankets on the internet or in your phone book. You'll have the option of buying the blanket from them and having it embroidered right there or you can give them a blanket you purchased yourself.

Keep in mind that baby blankets get some abuse and have to be washed pretty often. Be sure that you get a good quality blanket and a good embroidery job. The last thing you want is for the blanket to fall apart after a couple of washings.

You can also get creative with this and create a truly unique personalized baby blanket with their name, birth date, birthplace, etc. on the blanket. This akes for a keepsake that will last for life.

Don't feel that you're limited to only having a blanket that is pink or blue. You can find baby blankets in all types of colors and patterns.

While these blankets are not overly expensive, you can expect to pay anywhere from $40-$75 for one. It all depends on the quality of material, and the size.

If you're looking to give the perfect gift for any new baby, consider giving a personalized baby blanket.
