Fleece throws are always a great gift. They're often edged with a blanket-stitch trim and can be ordered in a wide variety of colors. You'll love their durability and easy care. You can simply toss them into the washer and dryer. They can be personalized with embroidery, usually done on one corner that features names, dates or a short quote. Fleece throws are a great gift for active people who will use them for tailgating, sporting events or camping.

Knit throws and blankets are another great custom bedding option. You can urchase personalized knit blankets and throws in a wide variety of sizes, from baby blankets to oversized throws that are big enough for two people to snuggle under. Their texture is similar to cable-knit fisherman's sweaters. And, they have a hand-made look that you're sure to enjoy. Some knit blankets are 100% cotton, while others are made of cotton/polyester blends.

Personalization options are similar to those for a fleece throw, while some manufacturers and specialty stores offer custom embroidery that can include up to five colored threads and a choice of attractive emblems that surround the text. Choose from emblems such as hearts, flowers, vines and other motifs. Choose something specific to the occasion, such as wedding bells for a bridal bridal shower, or teddy bears for a baby shower. Emblems are sure to add an extra-special touch.

Tapestries are wonderful, personalized birthday gifts. They're the perfect choice if you are looking for something with the traditional look of a woven throw, but also want to include the personal touch of a photo. Photo Blankets are the most personalized blankets or throws that you can buy. Like a tapestry afghan, you can put your own photo onto a photo blanket. Photos are dyed directly into the fabric for a crisp, sharp look. Polar fleece is fused to the reverse side, providing extra warmth and softness. Photo Blankets are available in a variety of sizes and are machine washable, making them easy to care for.

A photo blanket with a collage of pictures of grandchildren is the perfect gift for a grandparent. They are also perfect for capturing memories of a vacation and other memorable events. The bright colors and crisp reproduction make photo blankets ideal gifts when you seek to preserve all the details of a stunning photo. Whether it's the colors of a tropical sunset, the joy of new birth, or the radiant beauty of a bride on her wedding day, it will be captured forever.
