"Gorgeousness"
My title says it allo really, I love everything about this blanket. I think the colours are so nice, girly and yet not overly pink. Sometimes you get sick of the sickly baby pink that so many gift blankets are, but this is lovely and vibrant.
When it arrived it's presentation was lovely, as a gift it would feel like a very special thing to receive. I washed it before I gave it to my daughter and it washed up fab and dried very quickly, a bonus when you live in a flat with no proper drying facilities. The first time we actually used it was to go on a 3 hour train journey to my parents and I have a lovely picture of Kacie snuggled up asleep under it. She loves to hold the trim and cuddle into it while she's going to sleep. It's now a perminant fixture in her cot and will be used as her security blanket when we make our frequent trips to my parents or go on any other holidays.
Would I personally spend £35 on it? Well, I'm afraid not, as it is way over my budget. I would however consider it as a beautiful gift for pregnant friends, but agree with the reviewer who said a more greeny, yellow colour choice would be a good idea, as when I was pregnant that is the colour I'd personally have gone for.
Overall though I love this product and would be encouraged to consider other thigs in the range after using it.

"Lovely quality"
When I saw on the website how much this cost, I thought it was a bit over the top, but now that it's arrived, I can see why it's so expensive. It is really good quality and feels very luxurious. It's nicely presented, wrapped up with ribbon, so would make a lovely gift for a new mum. The colours are very funky and make a change from the usual pastels. Mine is now permanently in the pram and when I put it over baby Pierre, he starts sucking the end so I think that means it has his seal of approval. I also use it to hide him when I need to breastfeed in public and it does the job perfectly. I've machine washed it and it came out in pristine condition (unlike some of the cheaper ones). It's very well made and made to last so the price will be worth it if you can use it for several babies.

"Lovely quality, bit pricey"
I love this blanket, the feel of it is lovely and snuggly and the funky colours make it feel up to date and trendy.
This would make a lovely gift if you have the money to spend as id say this was more of a luxury item than a necessity for a mum on a budget.
At £35 its something I would probably not be able to afford to buy myself but I would love to have the cash to buy as its so nice and the quality feels very good. It is better than all of the other blankets that I have and just shows that sometimes pricer items are better than cheaper ones.

"Lilly and Sid blanket"
A bright, colourful and viberant blanket which is very eye catching. It would be nice if they also did a range in lemons and greens.
Made of cotton it will be cool in the summer and warm for the winter ( I sat with it around me to see if it was warm) which it was. The blanket is also stretchy and can be wrapped around your little one.
Ive washed the blanket a couple of times to see how it fairs up and it kept its shape and dried quickly on the line.
The blanket retails for £35 and I asked my friends what they though of the price and the concensus was it was a little expensive with most people expecting it to be around £25. The blanket did arrive nicely presented and would make the ideal gift for someone. If you wanted to spend a little extra on a quality blanket then this blanket is worth spending the extra money on.
Would I personally buy this blanket, yes I would... I'm now going to take a look and see what else this range offers.

"original products"
The Blanket arrived early yesterday morning when i opened it the packaging was simple but nicely tied up with a polka dot ribbon on first inspection of the blanket it was very well made and very soft and the colours are great its suitable really for either a boy or a girl, and the edges have been binded so there are no loose threads. So i thought i better wash it before i give it my little one so read the label and followed the was guide. It washed lovely and then when my little girl saw it she wanted it so at the moment they are having to share although our 3 week old doesnt know so he is ok...not sure about the price though its a lot of money for a blanket but if you were buying a special present for someone then i would buy one....the items on the website are really original and will be having a look what to buy for christmas....
