The holiday season is the most stressful time of the year for a lot of people. In addition to dealing with the romantic and familial problems that may arise around Christmas, people also have to remember to purchase gifts for all of their loved ones. This should not be a chore, but for some, the challenge of choosing meaningful and unique gifts becomes overwhelming. People who find themselves feeling this way should consider giving custom blankets to their family members for Christmas. Customized blankets make great gifts because they will be used. Unlike last-minute gifts that end up being forgotten, customized blankets will not go to waste. One does not have to know how to sew to make a personalized blanket. There are websites that will do all the work for you.. All that is necessary is a photograph or image that holds some meaning for the intended recipient of the blanket. The picture can be of anything. It can be a picture of the giver and the recipient together. If the recipient has just gotten married, a picture of the happy couple at the altar would make for a beautiful blanket. The same goes for pictures with new babies. Any major life event can be commemorated on a personalized blanket. Once the gift-giver has chosen the picture, she will upload it onto the website's server. She may be able to design an arrangement of several pictures. After answering a few perfunctory questions, the order will be processed and the company will print the desired image on a blanket. Companies like this also print unique images on coffee mugs, mouse pads, beach towels and t-shirts, but a blanket will be more appreciated than any of these items. The blanket will be placed on the recipient's bed or living room couch, becoming the focal point of the whole room. A knitter can make a patchwork quilt out of colored squares. She can make small swatches using the basic knit stitch until she has enough to constitute the size of a blanket. Once she has reached that point, she only has to sew the squares together by hand to create a hand-made quilt. She can alternate squares in the recipient's college colors or choose shades that coordinate with the decor of the room in which it will be placed. Lace, fringe or some other kind of trim can be sewn around the edges on both sides of the blanket. An existing blanket can be upcycled and still be a meaningful gift. A plain blanket is a good foundation for colorful embroidery and appliques. A favorite quote can be sewn onto the blanket in fancy script. A talented artist can paint an original piece of art on the blanket using acrylic paints. An old patchwork quilt can be repaired by sewing new patches over torn or faded ones. Covering worn patches with fabric in contemporary colors makes the whole quilt look new, especially if the crafter is careful to maintain the original shape of the pattern. She might want to combine personalization techniques by painting small pictures on some of the patches. She could also embroider secret messages on them. While customized blankets are perfect for Christmas, they are also great for occasions that signify new beginnings. Personalized blankets are big hits at bridal and baby showers.
