Baby Seal blanket

We've featured Birkiland before for their unique, Icelandic take on interiors and games. Now here's an equally quirky-but-useful product. Make your baby look like a seal! But keep him toasty too!

The Babyseal does seem eminently practical: easy to slip baby into and out of, and offering full coverage.

It looks as if it was inspired by an actual sealskin: personally, not having grown up in arctic climes, and being less hardy Icelander, more middle-class vegetarian, I'd rather it were this way.

And then it has the comic effect of making your child actually look like a seal. So, wins all round, really.
