Cashmere Baby Blankets, by Hummingbird Lane

If you're looking for a soft and warm gift for a little one, visit Hummingbird Lane, makers of Cashmere Baby Blankets. These hand-loomed blankets are made from the highest quality 100% cashmere and are designed for newborns, toddlers and kids (though I could see Mom or Dad snuggling in one as well). The blankets are reversible, completely knit and finished with a special crocheted scallop trim. Hummingbird Lane uses imported, pure virgin cashmere, dyed using eco-friendly Swiss dyes.

Check out the gallery for some of the adorable patterns. If you're buying a gift and can't choose, you can let the new parents make a selection with a gift certificate.

Each blanket is 26" x 35" and costs $248, gift wrapping included, with free ground shipping. Wish I had known about these when my nephew was born!

Yumi & Laurie makes a high-end, stylish, eco-friendly line of blankets, which it calls "blanQuettes." They feel like a large, plush Turkish towel and are designed with vibrant and whimsical colors and patterns inspired by founder Laurie Suzuki's trips to Japan and Europe and the beautiful textiles she saw there.

The blanQuettes are woven out of 100% organic and sustainable cotton and bamboo fibers, are anti-microbial (safe for allergy sufferers), and machine washable. The blanket is light, so it can be used in all seasons, and is manufactured with environmentally sound materials and techniques.

Five styles are available, all 6'6" x 4'9": St. Moritz (rich texture, $225), Nevis (two-color floral, $225), Laguna (vibrant colors, great for teens, $195), Furano (three-color Asian-inspired design, $235), and Milan (texture with calming colors, $225).

All are on sale (20% off these prices) until December 31, 2008.

Frette Cashton Throw

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Frette calls the throw shown here the Cashton, perhaps because you have to spend a lot of cash on it. It is made of pure cashmere and bordered in python. It is shown here resting on a python pillow. The throw is $4,000 and the pillow sells for $3,500. I've never though of python as a particularly cozy material but it certainly makes a statement.

Filed under: Decor

With the warmer weather approaching it's time to lay out by the pool. Instead of draping your towel over the chaise, how about this 100% Turkish cotton chaise blanket from Hammacher Schlemmer. The soft, diamond-quilted terry cotton chaise cover is the same kind found in the plush robes that you are wrapped in at spas. The chaise cover has a hood that fits over the back of a lounger and it has a three-pocket flap on either side to hold your books, sunglasses, sunscreen, cell phone and water. Best of all, the blanket can fold into itself becoming a handy tote bag with its own strap. The chaise covers sell for $79.95.

Britney's Baby Shopping

Filed under: Celebrity Shopping

Since we all now know that Britney Spears is pregnant again, it's no surprise to see that she's out buying some new baby things. At least, she's browsing for baby things because she doesn't yet know the gender of the baby. She headed out to Petit Tresor in Los Angeles to look at their elegant and adorable line of baby furniture. Britney's hoping for a girl, so you can be sure that she had her eyes on some of the frilly, girly designs in the boutique. For now, though, she kept her son, Sean Preston under wraps in a Carezza Minifur Blanket. The blanket is made of soft Italian yarn, in blue or pink, with sabbia suede on one side. Price: $149.
