The professional craftwomanship combined with 100% organic cotton fabrics create a blanket that will embrace and comfort the recipient for life.
NEW: Peipeis now come in three sizes- Original, Midi, and Mini!

Personalized Webpage & Book
Personalized Webpage SampleBaby's village can group-gift a peipei with a personalized webpage!
Share the link with village members so they can purchase the quilt's individual patches and submit wishes. We then take those wishes and compile them into a custom, USA-made keepsake board book.
This option costs an additional fee but a $25 deposit is all you need to get started!
