ikea have bold colours. I got a cheap doona and accented that with a bright orange blanky, polar fleece but. Check online though, coz they had heaps of variety, and they mail out too i think
Thank you ladies for your excellent tips of brands to search for and stores to visit. I'm sure I'll find something lovely now.
Muppity that's a great idea - you can tell I'm not very handy as the idea of dying a white blanket never occurred to me! But hey now I'm soon to become a mum, I better get a bit more handy/creative....!
I got given a red blanket from Ikea, it's solid bright red with an embroidered white love heart type thing (though not very big) it's called a "FABLER HJÄRTA" if you look at the website.

: commercial links are against BB guidelines, but I'm sure the OP can search for IKEA if she wants to. =)
Hi ladies, thanks so much again for your tips. Just to update...
The award goes to ... Beema! I have requested one of the gorgeous Little House striped blankets 'Jack' as my going away gift from work!! I am stoked! And I also LOVE the Pink Hut star blankets, I was going to get one of those too! But they seem to have gone out of business (prior stockists no longer have them available; got a bounceback to their email) so I just got a nice off-whiteish organic cotton thermal blanket with an unusual weave from Target, 30% off ($20).
FYI Duck Home doesn't have any bright blankies at the moment. Nor does Target. IKEA could have been a great option but I just couldn't face the Rhodes store madness over the christmas break!!!
