Happy little hippos.

Many moons ago when I was a little pea, the only stuffed animals, hooded baby towels, and blankies out there were the standard-issue ducks, bunnies, and bears. No bandana-wearing ponies, no prissy pink poodles, and certainly no happy little hippos.

I guess the lesser creative companies of yesteryear couldn’t conceive of kiddos growing attached to a 3,000 pound, leathery-skinned creature with an impossible-to-spell name.

Hip, hip, hooray for Angel Dear and 3 Sprouts, two ever-imaginative companies that are putting the hip in hippo! With their goofy grins and unexpected colors, these blankies and hooded baby towels are a modern-day delight.
