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. Personalization helps build the family tradition and ensures your gift will always be treasured.
Shapes, sizes, colors, and variety for blankets will not be an issue when it comes to personalization. At the time of order, you will have letter style choices and can include the baby's name or add the date, as well. Once you know the size of the blanket you have picked out; you will know how much information it will accommodate. Double 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. Personalized baby blankets can be crocheted, knitted or made from a more solid material such as cotton. Try checking with the parents for any known allergies that the baby has been diagnosed with. Your gift cannot become an heirloom if the baby cannot use it.
