If you want a gift that gets used every single day, this is it. These generously sized (roughly 120cm square) 100% cotton muslin wraps are big enough to swaddle a newborn securely, and the open weave softens with washing while staying breathable — reassuring for anyone anxious about overheating. Beyond swaddling they become burp cloths, pram shades, changing mats, nursing covers and comforters. A multipack is a safe, affordable choice that never feels like a token gift, and the prints keep it feeling like a proper present.
