We have the best customers!

One of the first vendors we started ordering from when we opened The Polka Dot Store was Little Giraffe. They are a wonderful company offering the most luxurious products on the market today. We carry items from their baby collection but they also offer an At Home collection. The blankets, burp cloths, security blankets, and hooded towels come in three textures. The Velvet Deluxe Collection is soft and light weight while the Chenille Collections is a heavier weight ideal for colder climates. Best of all is the Luxe Collection. You will be amazed at how soft and luxurious it feels. The superior quality and easy care of all the Little Giraffe products is sure to please any new mom. New patterns are frequently added to the Little Giraffe Collections to give them a fresh trendy look. Below are the approximate sizes for their products.



Blanket (Chenille & Luxe) 29 x 35

Blanket (satin chenille) 35 x 45

Blanky 14 x 14

Burpy 17 x 13

Hooded Towel 41 x 24



Recommended care is machine washing in warm water with a gentle detergent and drying on the lowest temperature setting, with no heat. Remove while still damp. Finish drying flat. Never use bleach. Many of their products are woven from poly-microfibers, which fuse together when exposed to prolonged heat.

Part of the lastest order from Mud Pie arrived today. It was so exciting to open the box and take out the new merchandise. The Holiday Tutu is just adorable. We will be working hard to get the new merchandise ready to put on the website.

We offer a variety of font choices and thread colors but if you don't see a font or thread color you want, please send us a message telling us what you would like.

In the coming posts, I plan to post bios about different brands we carry. We try very hard to find the very best brands with the highest quality products.
