Baby Sheepskin Rugs - where do you get them?

I want to get a friend a sheepskin rug for her newborn and can't remember where you buy these from. They are basically just a small rug, I know someone else got one from IKEA but I'm not near one so need to get it from somewhere else, or online.
Anyone know where I can get one? Thanks.

I got one from Urchin, www.urchin.co.uk. About £40, I think

Janus, this might make some people cringle but DH got one from - a local butchers shop! I felt horrified when he told me - didn't seem very hygienci really but it was much cheaper than any we've seen since in any shop and worked perfectly well (you can wash them as well if you are worried!)

We've also got one from www.urchin.co.uk which has the holes cut to fit into buggy's and car seats etc so very small. think it was about £40

John Lewis do them and you can probably buy online.

www.huggababy.co.uk and www.sheepskin.co.uk

My DS slept on his until he was at least six years old! he used to call it his lambskit, it went everywhere, we used to just put it on the floor when he was very little and he'd sleep anywhere on it.

I think my 15yr old will be taking her 'flee-flee' with her on the day she gets married! (assuming she ever ties the knot, of course)

She has it in her bed at the foot but has to compete for it. When we got a kitten it started suckling on it and now the two of them have to fight it out. The cat goes all floppy and gaga cos she thinks she's with her mummy again - ahhhhh!

Thanks very much. Alibubbles, Huggababy's is the most reasonable I've found so far (Katherine, good idea about the butchers but as it is a gift I wanted it in a 'proper' packet) so I'm going to go for this one. My daughter has one too (bought from a shop that's now closed down) but she is 2.3 and currently snoozing away on it, they do really love them and I think it's the most valuable (in terms of use) present you can give someone.
Thanks again everyone, I'm sure she'll love it!
