Spicy disguise

Whether it’s a Halloween costume or a baby shower gift, every infant needs a Tortilla Baby blanket and hat set, created by Katharine Harlan Owens. The similarities in coloring to an actual tortilla make for a baby blanket that will transform the infant (up to three months) instantly into a baby burrito. (As if babies weren’t delicious enough!) This swaddle is circular — measuring 40 inches in diameter — and it’s made of a cotton-polyester blend. The matching knot hat completes the disguise, turning baby into a supersized Chipotle cutie pie.

And when the infant outgrows her tortilla swaddle, it can be repurposed as a burp cloth, stroller blanket, or changing table cover. Now this is a gift that keeps on serving up smiles!
