My First Sensory Fox and Blankie Gift Set

My First Sensory Fox and Blankie Gift Set — a fox and a blankie, boxed

A soft plush fox 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.

Everything a first soft toy should be, in an animal that isn't the usual one.

🦊 Not another bunny

Most babies acquire three bunnies and a teddy in their first fortnight. A fox stands out on the shelf, and it tends to be the one people remember giving.

The russet colouring helps too — strong, warm colours are easy for very new eyes to pick out, which is more than can be said for pale pastels.

🧸 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 fox 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.

Fox or bunny?
The bunny set is the traditional new-baby gift and the safer choice if you don't know the family well. The fox is the one that stands out — better if they've already been given a pile of bunnies.

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

Does it make a good gift?
A very good one, and a more memorable choice than the obvious. It arrives boxed, so there's nothing to wrap.

🧺 Which Sensory Snuggable should you choose?

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

• This set — fox plus a matching blankie. The comforter option, and the one we'd pick as a new-baby gift.
• Sensory Snuggable Fox — just the plush, on its own.
• Snuggable Sensory Fox with Cloth Book — the plush with a detachable soft book, for a bit more to do.

Prefer something else? There's the bunny and blankie set, a bunny and a giraffe.
