Chic Monkey Boutique Review & Giveaway

Chic Monkey Boutique LogoWith the amount of online baby boutiques out there these days it's hard to find one that offers both quality and style at affordable prices. Countless times I have found an adorable outfit that would look great on Princess P or a fabulous diaper bag that I just had to have - until I saw the price tag. But that is the case no more thanks to the cute creations and affordable prices at Chic Monkey Boutique.
Chic Monkey Boutique ShirtWhen Chic Monkey Boutique founder, Cristie Barbian, gave birth to her daughter in August of 2008 she had visions of all the trendy baby items she saw but they were too expensive. So one day she decided to start making these items for herself and they turned into an immediate hit! In December 2008, Cristie decided it was time to open a boutique and share her blankie masterpieces with moms everywhere. Then, in February of 2009, Chic Monkey Boutique was born. To this day, Cristie still lovingly hand-makes Chic Monkey Boutiques Signature Baby Blanket!

We were sent the Chic Monkey Signature Baby Blanket in the Green and Brown Paisley print to review. The blanket arrived perfectly packaged and wrapped in coordinating ribbon ready for gift giving. But, of course, Princess P caught a glimpse of me taking it out of the box and wanted it instantly. I managed to catch a picture before she unwrapped it.
Chic Monkey Boutique Green and Brown Paisley BlanketAs soon as Princess P felt of the minky and satin baby blanket she said "soft, soft". I just shook my head and agreed with her. Now, every time she wants the blanket she calls out "soft".
Princess P with the Chic Monkey Boutique BlanketThe handmade Chic Monkey Signature Baby Blanket is made of the highest quality and is super adorable. I love the colors and the pattern really makes it stand out amongst all of P's other blankets. The minky and satin blanket measures approximately 36 x 30 and is perfect for snuggling up with.

At Chic Monkey Boutique you will find the Signature Baby Blanket in a wide variety of styles and patterns. All blankets are made to order and can be customized to your liking, including personalization! These blankets would make a terrific baby shower gift.

But if a blanket isn't quite what you had in mind, take a minute to browse around Chic Monkey Boutique. I promise you will find exactly what you are looking for! Also, while you are there head over to the Chic Monkey Boutique Blog and enter the giveaways over there. They are doing a giveaway every month with one year-long giveaway for a Custom Crib Set (a $500 value!).
