My Ubby – $50 Gift Certificate – CLOSED

When I received My Ubby for review, my brother was visiting. Allergic to all things baby, I was taken off guard when he grabbed the newly unwrapped package and settled in on my sofa for a nap. And that I had to wrestle it back from him. That is the kind of effect My Ubby has had on all resident and visiting members of our household.

My Ubby refers to a custom made blanket, or as its Kansas based makers describe it: “a blanket-friend that will always be by your side. Soft and warm, ubbies can also be used as a tissue, super hero cape, or sun shade. An ubby will never run away but sometimes hides. An ubby never gets mad or complains. A true companion for life”.

The last sentence rings particularly true for us. I find that there are very few things that come into our lives these days we know from the outset will become a family heirloom. Our family values our family valuables, meaning we have many treasures that have been passed down from the generations. While many of them may not be worth much money, we hold them dear to our hearts and look forward to passing them along to my daughter when the time comes. With its monogrammed detailing and the love that goes into all of its cuddling, I am positive that My Ubby will forever live with DD.

You can imagine how upset we were when, on day three, DD spit up her lunch all over My Ubby. Having had lots of experience with strained carrot stains, I was fairly certain that our new keepsake had suffered its first battle scar. But I simply threw My Ubby in the washing machine, used cold water, tumble dried on low – and to our surprise the blanket came out as good as new.

I have been known to abandon a website that is not user friendly in pretty short order. In fact, I am sure I hold the world record for fastest abandonment of a non-user friendly site, even if I really want the item in question. To my relief, ordering My Ubby was a simple task, laid out in five clear steps. Each level of the ordering process guides you with clear instructions, prompting careful selections along the way. A tally of your order amount is kept in plain view while a picture appears to the right of the order screen, so you can have a visual of your finished ubby as it is being built. If you happen to change your mind about colour, fabric selection, monograms, stitching or graphics (or if you wish to play with their different selections), the program allows you to easily switch back and forth without making you lose your mind.

Our result was an original two sided ubby (one sided versions are also available), measuring in at 35 x 45 inches. The company also offers the Itty Bitty Ubby, which measures 15 x 15 inches. Our ubby has a cream sateen edging with butter cream coloured fabric. “Butter cream” is an apt description for our ubby, given how smooth, soft and yummy the microfiber plush is to touch.

This is a perfect gift for your child or for an expecting family (they also have gift certificates for those families waiting to see if they are having a boy or girl).
