Gift tips

• Not sure about bed size? Choose a throw blanket or a wearable blanket. They do not depend on the mattress.
• Buying a comforter set? Confirm whether the child sleeps on a twin (38 x 75 in) or full (54 x 75 in) mattress.
• Follow the current obsession. Popular themes include trucks and monster trucks, dinosaurs, unicorns, cats, princesses, butterflies and florals.
• Babies under 12 months: the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no loose blankets in the sleep space, so use blankets only for supervised awake time.
