Creating Custom Blankets For the Whole Family

Nothing says comfort and safety like a blanket. It is the first thing you are swaddled in when you are born, and it is what they will pull over your head when you have departed. Children make forts out of blankets, and young girls whisper secrets to one another when they are tucked under them. You can hide from the day under a blanket or drape one over you when you are lying on the couch and watching your favorite show. You and your family can snuggle under one when you are at a stadium watching a big game.

Personalizing Blankets

Blankets make a great gift no matter what the holiday, occasion, or season. However, the blankets that you get at the department store may not really be special enough to give as a gift. Blankets are cozy and comfortable, and they should be personal as well. Fortunately, modern technology has made it possible for you to personalize a blanket. 

There are websites on the internet where you can make personalized blankets featuring photographs and designs that you make yourself. Nothing could be a better gift at holiday time than a personalized blanket for everyone in the family. You can make multiple copies of the same blanket. Or you can make each person a blanket with an image of their favorite pet,  friend, or social icon.

How it Works

When you visit a website that lets you make a Photo blanket, the first thing you will do is select the kind of blanket you want, such as a throw blanket, a beach blanket, or one for your bed. You will then decide if you want the image to be horizontal or vertical. 

You can upload a photo or a sketch from your computer, or you can select from several images that the company has on its website tools. The better websites will offer you a good selection of patterns and clip art to choose from.

You can also add lettering to a blanket. Each member of your family can have their own blanket with their name on it, or your family motto can be emblazed across the covering. Baby pictures are all so popular, and a blanket with a picture of a bride and groom would be the perfect favor from a wedding or anniversary party.

Once you have finished your design, you will then select the number of blankets that you want. The company will then print them and send them to you. You can save the design, so if any other members of your family want to get one, they can.

The blankets don't have to be exclusively for genetic families. They can be for people in your office who you consider family, close friends, or even members of an organization to which you belong.

Technology can, at times, make your family feel more disconnected because of the internet. However, it can also enable you to save memories and images in a way that you could not before. The personalized blanket can be the family crest of the future. It will be a present that people can enjoy for years to come.
