Gunamuna Bamboo/Cotton Gunapod Wearable Blanket

Safety and comfort.  Two words that come to mind when I think about what I need for my baby to sleep at night.  I need to make sure she will be safe in her cradle.  This means no loose, heavy blankets to get in her face, but the ability to keep her warm and snuggly.  Meet the Gunapod, wearable blanket from Gunamuna.  Now, I know there are millions (okay, not really, but there are a lot!) of companies that have designed wearable blankets, so what makes the Gunapod different, you ask?  


It's called WONDERZiP.  I have never seen a wearable blanket that has a zipper like this! It has 4 all-around zipper pulls for easy on and off, diaper changes, temperature regulation, and the baby's personal preference.  Unzip the bottom portion of the Gunapod to change you sweetie's bum, let them kick their little tootsies, or cool them down if they become too warm!  You can also unzip the bottom to allow you to properly strap the baby into the stroller or carseat while they are wearing the Gunapod.


 The neatest thing about the WONDERZiP is that you can completely open up the Gunapod to put the baby in the blanket if they are already sleeping!  No slipping it on over their head and waking them up.  The zipper opens all the way to the other side and the shoulders unsnap for wake-free dressing.  To me, this is 100% unique, and I love this feature.  





It comes with this nifty tag that shows you all the different ways you can use your Gunapod.


The Natural Collection Bamboo Gunapod is bright and cheerful!  I received orange, but it is also available in a hot pink dot or a brown dot as well and retails for $39.50.  Each one has a slightly different hand-sewn patch to make it unique and special. This version is lighter weight and made from 70% bamboo viscose and 30% cotton so it is super-duper soft!  The fabric is pre-shrunk, so you know that it won't look wonky when you pull it from the dryer.  The bamboo Gunapod is also antibacterial, breathable, moisture-wicking and eco-friendly.  It is made from 100% naturally grown and sustainable bamboo that is grown without pesticides, fertilizers or chemicals and no irrigation is required for it's growth aside from natural rainfall.  I love using a product that has a great-carbon footprint!  


 The inside has a smooth, fuzzy texture. 


The Gunapod is also a lot longer than any other wearable blanket.  The size small that I received looks like it will fit Livvy for a long time!  I plan to use this one through the winter by layering a warmer sleeper on underneath.  


As you can see, she didn't mind wearing it at all!  She still had plenty of room inside of the Gunapod to kick her feet around and roll back and forth.


See, easy for changing!


The Gunapod is also available in 100% polyester fleece for a warmer, fluffier blanket for winter.  The Classic collection Solid Gunapod comes in light pink, brown, blue and ivory and retails for 29.50.  The Party Collection Striped Gunapod comes in purple, olive, blue and orange and retails for 34.50.  

Another really cool thing about Gunamuna?  They adhere to the strictest standards of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CPSIA, and the British Safety Standard so you know that by using the Gunapod, your child is not only comfortable, but safe too.  Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.

Sew Sweet Tag Blankie & Tag Monster Review and Giveaway

I was thrilled with the opportunity to review the new Night Owl Tag Blankie and Spike Tag Monster from Sew Sweet with Olivia.  Sew Sweet is a company based out of Canada that makes personalized baby blankets, birthday blankets, pillowcases and tag blankies.  The awesome bonus part?  They are all handmade!  So you know that every item is made especially for your little one!




When we opened our package, the first thing I noticed about these blankies was their vivid color and how super-soft they are.  The ribbons are very bright and silky.  Olivia is into chewing on her blankies right now, and with the snuggly texture and buttery-softness of the minky, these blankies are perfect for her.  


The "Night Owl" design is very cute, with bright yellow, orange, turquoise and brown owls.  The ribbons coordinate perfectly with the owl design.  


The Tag Blankie is huge!  It measures 16" x 16" and retails for $20 CAD with name embroidered and $15 CAD without.  The ribbons will be great for Livvy's sensory development and help with her hand-eye coordination as she tries to get them in her mouth!


The white bubble-dot minky side is personalized with Olivia's name in orange embroidery.  


This is the "Curlz" font.  You can also pick from five other fonts when personalizing your blankie.


Olivia loves her Night Owl Tag Blankie!  I put it in her hands and she immediately started chewing on it!


This is the Spike Tag Monster.  Spike is made from Minky just like the Tag Blankie and I think it is just as cute!  I love the little ribbon teeth and the cyclops eye (made from felt.) There are also three other Tag Monster designs available to choose from.  All Tag Monsters retail for $20 CAD.


Olivia chewed on the ribbon tags straight away.  She loves Spike too!

Sew Sweet recommends hand-washing the Tag Blankie and Tag Monster in cold water and not bleaching or ironing them.  You can follow Sew Sweet on  Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest and get the latest information on new products and sales.  P.S-A little birdie told me that football and baseball shaped blankies will soon be available (also in pink,) as well as another more girly blanket.  We can't wait to try out what comes next!

Our Sew Sweet blankies are just what their logo says...handmade, personalized, and loved!  Thank you Sew Sweet!

Sew Sweet has generously offered up a Tag Blankie or Tag Monster to my readers as a giveaway.
