Love and Peace from Shi Shu Baby

By Mari Gold

Who wants to bundle a baby in a blanket made of synthetic fabric that has been treated with chemicals? Certainly not your customers. Show them hand-woven, all natural fabric blankets from Shi Shu Baby and point out that these blankies are made solely from cotton and bamboo yarn.

Cotton has a “strong hand,” meaning it is a durable fiber that drapes well (especially helpful when wrapping a little squirmer). Bamboo has many virtues in that it is very soft and breathable; the fiber regulates temperature and it is said to have antibacterial qualities. Bamboo is a self-sustaining plant, so using this fiber is kind both to the baby and the planet.

Beautiful Shi Shu Baby blankets are available in a standard version as well as a snuggler, both trimmed in matching bamboo satin for an elegant finishing touch. The standard blanket measures a generous 30” x 40” and comes in baby blue, pink, green, lemon and lavender. The 16” x 16” snuggler is available in the same tender colors with two new additions — white and oatmeal –– for those shoppers who favor neutral hues.

Since many children bond with their blankies and can’t be parted from them, the smaller snuggler size is easy to take along when baby is out and about. For a clever baby gift, when shoppers buy the regular blanket for a new addition, if there’s a big sister in the family, suggest they give a snuggler to her to use with a favorite doll.

The Shi Shu Baby “Love” Blanket is 30” x 40” and made of soft Suprema cotton with a Modal satin back and trim. The word “love,” in blue, pink, oatmeal or orange, is prominent on the blanket’s middle, in an appealing lower-case. It’s also available as a snuggler in the same colors. A peace sign motif and the word “peace” adorn another version of the snuggler.

Thanks to the use of all natural fibers, Shi Shu Baby blankets breathe, so that air circulates over and around baby’s tender skin. As a further indication of commitment to a natural world, the company makes its ribbons from cotton, prints labels with vegetable dye and makes its hangtags of recycled paper.
