Ah, young love. When you were attached at the hip, lived for endless caresses, and wanted nothing more than to fall asleep in each other’s arms.
It’s exactly how your tiny dreamer will feel about her own first lovey: an Apple Park Picnic Pal blankie. Made with hypoallergenic filling and organic silk and cotton, the cuddly creatures pacify steadfast mewlers with easy-to-grasp floppy shapes, soft black eyes, and gentle smiles.
The stable of Apple Park characters includes a charming monkey, fuzzy duck, and — our favorite — a silk-clawed bear cub. We recommend you choose one and commit, buying a spare in case of loss or mishap.
No need to be a heartbreaker just yet.
Available at Rockridge Kids, 5511 College Avenue, between Ocean View Drive and Lawton Avenue, Oakland (510-601-5437); online at petittresor.com.
