Handmade vs. Mass-Produced: Why Snugabug’s Snuggles Are the Real Deal
Let’s be honest: the baby aisle at the big-box store is full of suspiciously identical blankies, all folded like origami and crying out “I was made by a machine in 0.4 seconds!” 😬
But your baby? They deserve better. They deserve squish. Softness. Heart. Handmade hugs.
At Snugabug, we don’t just knit blankets and comforters — we knit love, care and a whole lot of cosy magic into every single one. ✨💖
So, what’s the real difference?
🧵 Mass-Produced:
-
Made in bulk by machines (or other less ethical ways but that's a whole other blog post)
-
Standardised sizes, materials and designs (no custom order requests there)
-
Less attention to detail
-
Feels... meh
🧶 Handmade (That’s Us!):
-
Every piece is individually knitted by hand (it's just me ... no machines and a whole lot of caffeine)
-
Made with plush chenille yarn for the softest baby snuggles
-
Slightly unique — just like your little one (fun fact: most of my new products come from custom order requests)
-
Crafted in Essex with care and oodles of love
“But is it really worth it?”
Absolutely. Babies might not notice the aesthetic of a handmade stitch — but they feel comfort. And parents? You’ll spot the difference in quality, durability, and how well it holds up after a thousand snuggles and a few mystery spills. 🍼✨
Handmade pieces also tend to become heirlooms — not just accessories. Many SnugaBug customers tell us their little ones grow up still clutching their comforters. (I'm not crying, you are).
TL;DR?
Mass-produced is fine.
Handmade is forever.
So whether you’re gift-hunting or nesting for your own little one, skip the factory fluff. Choose something truly special — because your baby deserves a comforter that’s been loved before it even arrives at your door. 💝
