Delicious Lara reviews the Raggy Tag blanket

Emma from Mellow Mummy has been reviewing the raggy tag blankets for us -

The Raggy-Tag comfort blanket was exactly what I was looking for to keep Lara entertained in the car and in her pushchair. She’s at an age where she wants to grab EVERYTHING, and if it has a label then you can guarantee that’s the part she’ll grab first.

Lara loves to clasp the Raggy-Tag in her fist and wave it about in the air violently. She picks at the multi-coloured tags with her tiny fingers. I don’t know how she does it, but of all the brightly coloured tags of different textures, she keeps coming back to the boring old white one with the printed washing instructions!

The Raggy-Tag comes in its own mesh bag tied with a co-ordinating bow. You’ll probably never put it back in the bag after the first use but it does mean that it looks great as a gift. The label on the bag tells us that the Raggy-Tag is designed for curious little hands to help them develop their dexterity by fondling each of the tiny tags around the perimeter of the blanket.

The Raggy-Tag Lara tried had one soft side and one patterned side. The soft velour was a favourite with Lara – she loved it when I stroked the blanket against her face! The patterned side was made from a really fine, light Liberty fabric which looks bold yet suitably girly. As a grown-up, I felt the bold, brightly coloured tags clashed a little with the girly pink colours of the blanket – I know, I know, bright colours are best for babies. My favourite tag to look at was a purple gingham ribbon; the best to touch and feel was a bright blue ridged tag with a rough texture that contrasted nicely with the soft blanket.

The Raggy-Tag is available in a great range of fabrics and colours (and even sizes). The Raggy-Tag is such a simple concept, so with prices ranging from £14.99 to £19.99 I don’t think I could justify it as a purchase for my own baby. But as a gift, well that’s a different story… I’d highly recommend one as a gift for a new baby because it is a little piece of luxury with an incredibly practical application.

Raggy Tags are gorgeous baby comforter blankets, made right here in the UK in a tempting array of gorgeous fabrics – including some classic Liberty prints (as demonstrated by Emma here). A perfect gift for Babies Who Fiddle.
