I'd actually get them somewhere OTHER than Target or BRU. Those are a slightly lesser quality/smaller swaddle than the real ones. And the real ones are softer and work better.

The ones they sell at Target (and often, online) are not the same as the traditional ones - they're smaller and not as soft. The real ones have the word "boutique" in the title and are 47x47. They've been on babysteals.com twice in the last couple months so you can keep an eye there, or there are some patterns that are under $40 on Amazon.
I've compared my boutique ones to a friend's BRU (or Target) ones and thought mine were so much softer. Plus the extra length is nice if your friend plans on swaddling with it.
