6 Types of Personalized Baby Robes

From the flowing black robes of the lawyer to the cuddly ones for baby, robes have always been hot favourites. A robe is a long loose outer garment that can be wrapped around easily. There were once fur robes to wrap the child. There were the buffalo robe and the lap robe for the newborn. Grandmothers sitting in the sun or on rocking chairs knitted exquisite robes interlaced with skill and love. The robe had the personal touch of the giver and the taker.

Today Grandparents are on the fast track and yet the deep-seated longing remains of presenting to the new addition to the family something that is a combination of beauty and utility and yet is personalized. In the industrial age when machines roll out our requirements, a personalized item seems to be a tall impossible order.
