After Eric and I decided that we were not going to find out the sex of our baby, I started online shopping. One of the first things I started looking for was stylish gender neutral swaddles in Canada.
The selection in most stores was disappointing. I was unimpressed with boring yellow duckies and traditional green stripes. Where were the swaddle blankets that reflected my personal taste? I was looking for products that were more modern, sophisticated and playful than what was available at places like Babies r Us. I found a ton of great options online but most were from the USA. As a Canadian shopper, I was hesitant to order from America. I didn’t want to pay the extra expense associated with duty, shipping and a low Canadian dollar.
With this in mind, I put my librarian skills to use, and began doing a ton of research. With a little digging, I found a few online retailers selling stylish gender neutral swaddle blankets in Canada. Today, I am going to share a list of my favourite sources for unique, quirky and stylish gender neutral swaddles sold in Canada.
