Flannel receiving blankets are fuzzy and warm to the touch which is why so many people like to receive their new babies wrapped in them! It's a sign you care about the newborn that you just finished for them. Nothing is more adorable than unwrapping a cuddly baby in her warm little blanket. Many collectors object to receiving their new baby in plastic bags or even white tissue gift wrapping paper. A receiving blanket wraps your baby in love for your best possible presentation.
