Shelley, where do you get those lovely 'bumpy' blankets from? They look great

Yummysmummy you can buy them in Adams for around £9 or mothercare for around £15 occasionally they pop up in Home Bargains for about £4 ... blankets that are nicer than that in my opinion are the ones from Primark they cost £3 ish and are so soft, wash well and we have 8 of them for my daughter as she won't have any other kind of blanket!

Bliiiiiiiiimey. They kinda cut down the profit by quite a bit then!

Will stock up next time i go to Primark - decided to make a few more and see if i can make myself a bit of pocket money

How do you advertise locally? (to those that do!)

Hi,

Thought I'd share this idea with you all, found on a website selling Prince and Princess nappy castles.

They are lovely. Doubt whether they would fit on a cakeboard though

Hi there I bought my blankets from Home Bargains for £3 and they are fantastic quality. Everyone who has seen them or bought a Nappy Cake from me have commented on how lovely they are. They are very silky soft and babies love them. I also use a plain super soft fleece blanket which is lovely too. I am a bit of a perfectionist so I only put quality items into my nappy cakes and spend a lot of time on the colour combinations of ribbons also because I think it makes all the difference.




This is a picture of a plain blanket which I also use - I apologise for the quality of the photos haven't quite sussed out the lighting yet. May invest in a photo tent soon !!!
