Nicki’s Bamboo Blanket Review + a Best Bottoms Giveaway
This post contains affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting the “Hop Into Spring” giveaway hop hosted by The Anti-June Cleaver and Our Piece of Earth blogs. Spring will be here in just a week, and I bet you are all looking forward to warm sunshine, sprouting flowers and singing birds!
My giveaway features two products that we use daily: Best Bottom diaper covers and the bamboo swaddling blankets from Nicki’s.
Nicki’s Diapers now has bamboo swaddling blankets for sale, in both the Imagine and Nicki’s lines (they are sister companies). These high-quality blankets are just as soft and silky and pretty to look at as the expensive boutique brands. Both are very generously sized at 50″ by 45″. The 100% rayon-from-bamboo fabric feels so wonderful to the touch; you and your baby (and probably everyone else in the family, too) will love these blankets.
- Imagine blankets are on sale for $13.50 with free shipping at Nicki’s Diapers.
- Nicki’s blankets are just $10.95 each with standard shipping at Nicki’s Diapers.
Ingrid uses her bamboo blanket to snuggle with, as a lap blanket in her carseat and even wraps up her baby doll in it. The lightweight bamboo fabric has a slightly open weave, so it allows for airflow.
Not a day goes by that Ingrid is without this blanket. It’s one of my top picks now as a gift for new babies and their mothers.
They are also plenty big enough to use as a nursing cover, especially because the fabric drapes so nicely.
Nicki’s is also the home of Best Bottom diapers, a versatile AI2 system that can be used in lots of different ways. We’ve used our Best Bottom covers with flats, prefolds and fitteds; we also have a few of the snap-in Best Bottom inserts on hand for really quick changes. You can read my full review of the Best Bottom diaper system here.
Best Bottoms have even worked on our newborns. Here’s the Pink Giraffe cover on Ingrid at about 1 week of age:
All Imagine brand products ship FREE from my affiliate, Nicki’s Diapers, as do all their Best Bottoms covers.
The newest Best Bottoms limited edition print is called Hippity Hop, and it was released just in time for Easter. You can win this highly sought after cover, plus an Imagine bamboo blanket in the beautiful “flutter” print by using the entry from below. Good luck! (GIVEAWAY CLOSED)

My favorite blanket is the anchors away one.
We have that same chevron blanket and love it!! We also love our Best Bottoms!!!!
My favorite blanket is Barnyard Jam because my little guy loves farm animals! 😉
I really like the Imagine anchors blanket, but the Nicki’s gray chevron would coordinate with my baby’s nursery better 😊 I wish they had a selection of solid color blankets.
The rawr blanket is super cute!!! my daughter loves dinosaurs so that print would be well loved here. I love the pretty colors too.
I love the Overboard Imagine blanket. Gorgeous!
I love anchor print imagine swaddler.
The Flutter Blanket is adorable-my favorite!
These are soft blankets! I love the rawr one! And hippty hop is so cute!
My favorite BB cover is Dragon Scales- it was the first diaper I bought that I wanted rather than needed. And maaaaan was that a slippery slope!
I like trumpet
Is this Best Bottoms cover one with the cotton outside? I am curious if there is much difference between the cotton and regular covers as far as stretch and how long they last.
Hi Betsy, this is the PUL cover without cotton. We haven’t tried the cotton yet. ~Anne
The cotton is awesome love them. We only have 1 but we love it
I love the Tree Friends blanket and it is a great price! We haven’t tried Best Bottoms yet, but I love this print!
Nicki’s Tree Friends blanket is adorable!
My favorite blanket is “flutter”.
Both the Rawr and Trumpet blankets are adorable.
I love the Chevron blanket.
I love the Trumpet blanket! It is so cute and I can just imagine how soft it would be since it is bamboo!
We have a Rawr cover and matching legwarmers and I didn’t realize there is a matching blanket too! Its so cute!!
I can’t really pick a favorite as we have not yet tried anything from Nicki’s or Imagine. This would be a good chance for us to do so, if we won. I can say though, Hippity Hop is adorable! 🙂
I love the Tree Friends blanket!
Tree Friends is my favorite Nicki’s blanket print. Thanks!
I love the “Overboard” print from the Imagine blankets. I’m a sucker for anything nautical 🙂
I love the Hippity Hop print, it is so adorable!
I like Nicki’s spring rainbow diapers and Flutter Dot blanket
I love best bottoms diapers. But we have never had a or tried 1 of these pretty blankets. They look awesome
We’ve not used either but have a friend who loves her best bottoms!
I’m obsessed with “trumpet” print so thats what I’d love to win 🙂
My favorite blanket print is Trumpet!
We love Best Bottoms diapers! Hippity hop is really cute, it reminds me of one our children’s favorite books. I’d choose the grey chevron blanket 🙂
The Flutter blanket is cute.
My favorite blanket print is Barnyard Jam! Matches the diaper we have 🙂
I really like them all. They look so soft and comfy.
Hippity hop is so beautiful! Such a charming diaper
The flutter blanket is my favorite!
I love overboard and trumpet imagine blanket prints. I love reading your reviews. They are always so detailed
Awww, thank you, Christina! ~Anne
Are the blankets very breathable? Baby loves his near his face, so trying rto find one that want suffocate him!
Great question! How old is your baby, Elizabeth? ~Anne
5 months in one hour!
I think the general recommendation is to wait until 12 months if your baby will be sleeping with the blanket in bad, but for daytime use I would think your son would be ok since he can roll over and lift his head and push something away from his face if it gets in the way. The bamboo fabric is very lightweight and breathable, and the weave is somewhat open to allow for airflow. ~Anne
Thank you we still swaddle him at night, so no blankets in bed!
Would love the blanket but also want to try best bottoms for nighttime because we are in disposables at night right now.
I really like the grey chevron, mostly cause it is such a great gender neutral print. But I can I say, I just love the pictures of your Ingrid in the Best Bottom diapers. How it shows up on my screen, it looks like she is holding hands with herself. Its so sweet, I love that age (my youngest is about the same).
Lindsay, I’m glad I went with the chevron for that very reason – it’s neutral but still nice to look at. Thanks for the compliments on the pictures! And I didn’t even notice how her hands are joined with the two photos side by side in the collage. Love that you noticed that! ~Anne
I like the open season print.
I really like the tree friends blanket 🙂
I love the Gray Chevron blanket! Hippity Hoppity is adorable, Anne! Thank you for the review and giveaway ♡
I love the bamboo blankets! I want the teal chevron next.
I love the fit of best bottoms. I hope I win. I’ll give the blanket to my sister.
Flutter
I like the flutter dot blanket
The Hippity Hop diaper cover makes me think of Peter Rabbit, and that Imagine butterfly blanket is so bright and colorful!
I really like the imagine rawr blanket, but I love the Chevron and tree friends Nikki blankets
I would love to try Best Bottoms, I hear they are great! And this blanket looks perfect for spring, so it’ll be my favorite! Nicki’s always has such great exclusives 🙂
I recently purchased some aden + Anais bamboo swaddles to try on our newborn (due in April), but I wish I had known about Nicki’s and Imagine! I have some Imagine diapers that are so cute. I would love to try out their blankets. Bamboo swaddles in general are great. I only have three so I would love to have more!
I also have an aden + anais, Rachel, and they are nice, too! The price point on these Nicki’s blankets is really impressive, and the free shipping on Imagine stuff is a really good deal, too. Thanks for reading the review and entering the giveaway! ~Anne
