Lovies have so many uses: newborn, carseat, daycare, grocery store (so they aren't dragging a big blanket around), and a good cuddle blanket even as babies get older. My 5 year old grandaughter still sleeps with her lovie!  Handmade using only high quality minky fabrics and topstitched for durability.
 
Wash in cold water, no fabric softeners. Tumble dry fluff/no heat, no dryer sheets.
