The ninja lovey you didn't see coming. Because it's sneaky like that.

This sweet ninja is soft, cozy, and comes with a minky sword. Who better to protect your baby from nightmares?

This sweet ninja security blanket from Koddalie on Etsy is a unique and cuddly way to keep your baby happy--and safe from the bad sort of ninja. Because all new moms have ninja problems, right?

Handmade of black dimple-dot minky and soft pink cotton, it measures in at 12x12, but can also be made at 18x18 or 29x29, if you need extra ninja protection for the little one. She's washer and dryer safe, and even comes with her own minky sword.

And if you love the idea of a cuddly minky lovey with a face but aren't into ninjas, she has listings for design-your-own blankeys that give you dozens of choices from animals, minky colors, and cotton fabrics. But none of them come with a sword. Except the ninja. Just sayin'. -Delilah

Find adorable minkey loveys at Koddalie on Etsy. Ninjas can be made in other colors besides pink, too.
