The best gift that we ever got when they were babies came from my Mom, and they were the Travel Silkies by cherish and joy
My Mom sent Julien a silky when he was a tiny baby and we were living in France. As soon as he could grasp something, this soft, satin on one side and cow print on the other became his FAVORITE thing. It took him 2 minutes to fall to sleep courtesy of "silky". Well, one day we were out shopping in France, and when we got home silky had fallen out of the stroller. I called my Mom, frantic, and she immediately contacted the company, bought TWO, and fed exed them to me in France...we had a week of "not happy baby" till those things arrived. He is now nearly 7, and hides them under his pillow, where they get taken out in the dark to help him sleep and do that "silky magic". We call it his "tee tee", as when he began to talk he could not say "silky" and hence "cow tee tee" became the name of the object of his desire.
Fast forward to 2 years later and the birth of my daughter, Amelie. She also was given a "cow tee tee" from my Mom, and did the same rubbing on the cheek and nose, thumb sucking action that her older brother did and still does, albeit "in the closet" these days...Well, she has "cow tee tee" and "other one tee tee", which is all pink with no cow print. "Other one tee tee" never quite cut the cake. SO...it has now been 4 weeks and cow tee tee is lost somewhere. I thought she would get over it and just start using "other one tee tee"...but this is NOT the case. Every time she is tired, or sad, or sick, she cries for "cow tee tee". I was just on line to see if they still make the coveted "cow tee tee", and thank Goodness that they do. I am going to call and order her one as a surprise and have it be sent to her...it will be a $27 well spent.
The rubbing, sucking action that these little soft blankies bring on is universal...I recently gave one to a friends 4 month old, and he does the same thing. Instant comfort for the sad and weary...
So, "cow tee tee" is the best gift we have ever gotten...the easy bedtimes, comfort and relief that this little object has given to my kids is immeasurable. I may even order two for her and stash one away...just in case.
PS. The only downside? I can not count how many hours we have spent searching for Amelie's "cow tee tee", as she refuses to leave it in bed and takes it everywhere. One got thrown out at Christmastime with the trash...got a new one. It has been left shoved into a bucket outside in the rain in the Playhouse...under sofa cushions, in restaurants. I could have written a dissertation for a PhD, if I added up the hours spent searching for her beloved "cow tee tee".
PPS, the only other issue with "cow tee tee" is that I hope that my 7 year old son does not end up stealing women's undergarments off of clothes lines, due to his extreme love of "all things silky"...small joke that my husband and I have had for years now... |

We got it today : THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE QUICKNESS. My daughter was given one of your silkys when she was born and sadly, 5 years later we lost it in the zoo parking lot last weekend. So i had to re-order. I thought she was going to lose her mind when she came home to find the replacement today : SHE LOVES IT! Same exact one - doesn't smell the same she says but its perfect! So cute! While I was at it, I ordered a back up for my son who is also a silky lover :
Thanks a ton!

My adopted daughter loves her silky! She has had it with her everyday for the past 6 years! It has taken a beating and held up so well. I just ordered one for my newly adopted son! He is going to love it in Blue/Choc and maybe stop taking his sisters! We love the silky! |

I've always wondered if you had a web site for your beautiful blankets. |

My children have absolutely loved their little silky blankets so now, I send them to my friends and family when they have new babies. The travel silky makes a special and unique gift. |

These are the best blankets- my son is almost 4yrs old and there is not one problem with the blanket after yrs of weekly washings! My son LOVES his silky. I received many blankets as gifts when he was born and his classic silky and travel silky are the only ones that still look and feel great. |

Thank you for making such a wonderful product. All three of my kids have LOVED their silky!! My baby currently can't live without one to go to sleep. Luckily we own 5 of them. I just ordered two more for baby shower gifts. |
