Personalization is becoming more and more common when giving gifts. You catch the parents completely off guard as they open the gift and then see their baby's name monogrammed on it. Deciding to purchase a personalized baby blanket is never a bad idea.
People automatically know that a personalized gift was given from the heart. The recipient is aware that you cared enough to make it personal. Families will make these blankets family heirlooms immediately. The baby will have grown into an adult and their parent will probably give it to them to pass on to their grandchild.
Once you know the size of the blanket you have picked out; you will know how much information it will accommodate. Check the spelling of the name and the arrival date before you place an order for personalization. It would be simply horrible if you received the blanket and something like the name was misspelled on it.
It may not seem important to you, but check the fabric that the blanket is made from. Babies are super sensitive when it comes to their skin and can be easily allergic to something. Surf the web or go to a store but make sure you read the label. Most people are truly awed by the number of selections there are. Your gift cannot become an heirloom if the baby cannot use it.
