My First Sensory Bunny and Blankie Gift Set

My First Sensory Bunny and Blankie Gift Set — a bunny and a blankie, boxed

A soft plush bunny and a matching blankie, packed together in a box that needs no wrapping. Crinkles hidden inside, ribbon tags to tug, and a different texture wherever small hands land.

It's the first-toy gift done properly: something to hold and something to hide behind.

🐰 The one people buy for a new baby

There's a reason bunnies have been the default new-baby present for about a century. They're soft, they're friendly, they've got ears made for chewing, and nobody has ever objected to receiving one.

If you're buying for someone you don't know well — a colleague's new arrival, a friend of a friend — this is the safe, lovely choice.

🧸 A comforter they can actually bond with

The blankie is the clever part. Babies attach to something small, soft and portable, usually around six to twelve months, and once they've chosen it that object becomes non-negotiable.

A blankie with a bunny attached is easier to love than a plain square of fabric, and easier to carry than a full-size toy. Which is rather the point of a comforter.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What age is it for?
From birth. Newborns take in the patterns and the crinkle sound; the tugging and holding start properly from around three or four months, and the attachment to the blankie usually arrives somewhere after six.

Can it go in the washing machine?
No — the label says surface wash only. Wipe it over with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and don't machine wash or submerge it. Worth knowing, because comforters get loved hard: plenty of parents buy a second one early, so there's a spare on washing days — and for the day the favourite goes missing in the supermarket.

Bunny, or one of the others?
The bunny is the traditional choice and the safest gift. If you'd like something a little less expected, we do the same set with a fox.

What's the difference between this and the bunny on its own?
This set adds the matching blankie, which is the piece most babies end up attached to. The plush bunny on its own is the simpler option, and the bunny with a cloth book swaps the blankie for a soft book instead.

Does it make a good gift?
An easy one. It arrives boxed, it suits any family, and two items feels more like a present than one.

🧺 Which Sensory Snuggable should you choose?

We stock the bunny three ways, so it depends what you want alongside the plush:

• This set — bunny plus a matching blankie. The comforter option, and the one we'd pick as a new-baby gift.
• Sensory Snuggable Bunny — just the plush, in pink. Also available in grey.
• Snuggable Sensory Bunny with Cloth Book — the plush with a detachable soft book, for a bit more to do.

And if you'd rather not have a bunny at all, there's the fox and blankie set, a fox and a giraffe.
