If you're looking for the perfect gift for any occasion, or an ideal way to commemorate a special event, very few options compare to that of photo blankets. Different sizes, thicknesses and even material options for your personalized photo blanket make this item a truly personal way to say "Thank you" or add to your own collection of mementos.
Depending upon your needs and preferences for your special order, you may choose a knitted, woven or fleece blanket. Another great current option includes either sweatshirt fleece or double layer fleece photo blankets; this only increases your quality and thickness options when ordering.
Before deciding which type of photo blanket is right for you, the purpose of your order and the ideal photo need to be chosen. Perhaps you'll choose a wedding photo for an anniversary gift for your spouse, a favorite family photo for grandma, or even a collection of photos for the perfect holiday gift in a collage blanket.
The great news is that virtually every type of photo blanket will preserve the image printed on it for the life of the blanket. You may further personalize your blanket by choosing the type of edge, thickness or fabric as well. Just remember these choices may affect the time required to fulfill and receive your order, so make sure you order in plenty of time.
A knitted cotton photo blanket is a good quality choice if you are searching for a soft and thick option with a simple edge. However, the image quality of this type of blanket is slightly less than that of a woven photo blanket or a fleece photo blanket.
You may consider a woven photo blanket for a higher level of image clarity for very detailed pictures. When you order a woven blanket, the edges will be a stylish fringe that is both simple and attractive.
Woven photo blankets are usually very thick, but can be suitable for mild or windy outdoor weather because they do tend to breathe fairly well. Your loved one can use this blanket both while watching the baseball game and while trying to stay warm by the fire.
If you'd like to find something with a few more options when it comes to thickness and edges, you may want to consider a fleece photo blanket. This type of photo blanket is made of the softest polar fleece, and your chosen image is printed on it using a special dye process.
Typically, the edges of a fleece photo blanket may be whip-stitched or have coverstitch seams in order to accomplish a clean and finished look. Fleece also is available in different thicknesses, so you may want to adjust this according to how many seasons you'd like to be able to use your new fleece blanket.
One of the greatest things about the introduction of fleece photo blankets into the world of personalized gifts is the stunning clarity with which the images are portrayed. You and the recipient of this thoughtful gift will both be pleasantly surprised at how detailed and clear the picture will appear!
