A Custom Fleece Blanket Makes A Great Personalized Gift For Both Babies And Adults

Personalized photo blankets make great gift ideas for him, her, kids, babies or the home itself. If you are searching for a unique gift idea for a loved one then a customized photo blanket could be a great place to start.

We all like doing Do-It-Yourself projects and that is why personalized gifts are becoming more and more popular as gifts for people of all ages. A custom photo blanket allows you to use your designer skills to make your own uniquely customized gift that showcases your favorite photos in brilliantly vivid colors.

If you do choose to make a custom photo blanket I recommend you look for one that is made from a soft and comfortable fabric such as polar fleece. You will find polar fleece blankets are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, thus offering a much wider range of uses.

I also recommend you find a photo gifts Website that offers a photo collage option. Not many of us have access to photos that are big enough to cover an entire blanket without having to artificially enlarge them. The problem with having to enlarge your photos is they lose their clarity and consequently the quality of the photo on the finished blanket is likely to be less than perfect.

The big plus about being able to create a photo collage is it gives you the flexibility to produce the exact design you need, no matter how intricate and complex that may be, while still being guaranteed a high quality finish.

When you browse around you will find that custom blankets are available in a whole host of different sizes. A number of webstores also offer the option of having your photos and designs printed on both sides. Regardless of the size or if you choose to have your blanket printed on one side or both, one thing is assured; they give you the opportunity to create your own unique gift that will make a wonderful present for just about anyone.

Smaller fleece blankets are commonly used as baby blankets and provide a wonderful gift idea for new babies. Customized baby blankets are always cherished by mom and dad and as the baby grows, often become a great comforter to the child themselves.

Custom designed blankets also make great gift ideas for adults, especially grand parents; particularly when they are customized with photos of their grand children.

One of the best attributes of polar fleece blankets is their durability makes them suitable for outdoor use as well as indoor use. So it doesn't matter if you want to use them as a lap blanket to snuggle up on a chilly winter's night or as a picnic blanket, they are perfectly suitable for both!

In addition to pictures of children and grand children, another popular design idea for personalized blankets is photos of sports teams; they make great lap blankets and body warmers for those of us that enjoy cheering on our favorite teams on cold winter nights.

Lots of people love turning their own gift ideas into reality and customizable photo gifts give anyone the opportunity to do so. If you want to put your own images and designs on a blanket, whether it's for your own use or for a present, it's easy for you to create your own photo blanket; just find a photo gifts webstore and with just a few clicks of your mouse your ideas will become a reality!

DIY fleece blankets are tremendous fun to make, especially when you create them with your own unique photo collage, plus they make fantastic gifts for your loved ones.

Finally, for those of you who may not be aware of the benefits of polar fleece, you should know that it is a man made fabric manufactured from something called polyethylene terephthalate and is designed to mimic wool. Polar fleece is a strong fabric that shares all of wool's finest qualities but only weighs a fraction of similiar woolen products. It is soft, comfortable, warm, machine washable and fast drying, making it a great alternative to wool, especially for those of us who are allergic or sensitive to wool.
