Are you lookin’ for a unique gift to give for a baby shower, Baptism, or a wedding? If so, consider personalized baby blankets from FillInTheBlankie.com!
I received an email from Fill In The Blankie shortly after giving birth to Sissa. So I jumped on the opportunity to have one made for her and bring you my thoughts along with a discount and a giveaway!
My first thought was that the blankies I would want were a little on the expensive side. However, once I received the blankie, I realized that the quality of the blanket had far surpassed my expectations! I fell in love with it! The blankie was exactly what I had expected and more.
Once I got onto the Fill In The Blankie website, I was instantly drawn to Natalie’s On Cloud Nine blanket, which sells for $109. While it looked comfortable, warm, and snuggly, I didn’t want a heavy blanket because we had plenty of them.
I knew I wanted something we could use all year round, and Hazel’s Pride and Joy, $109, was the one I chose. I liked that the price already included the personalization and the satin trim. That made it easier for me to know exactly what I would be paying, and there were no hidden surprises at the end. The site also offers a plethora of fonts to choose from, which was a hard decision for me because I liked four or five of them.
The satin trim gives the blankie a statement and that touch of elegance. The blankie itself is simply beautiful with the woven pattern you can’t go wrong! This blankie would make a great gift for welcoming a new family member. Not to mention the look on her face when I present it to her when she has a child…. brings a tear to my eye just thinkin’ about it!

Sissa’s blankie has her name and reads:
” ~ Dream Until ~ Your Dreams ~ Come True ~ Sweet Dreams ~”

I loved the fact that I could add a little extra. I was able to add an icon to all the sides of the blankie, which I think was a great touch! With the blankie centered around dreams, I thought the stars were a perfect touch! It was $7 to add the icon, but it was so worth it.
The only disappointment I had was that I wanted the glow-in-the-dark thread. However, shortly after my order, I received an email saying that the thread had been breaking and wasn’t available. While I looked forward to seeing how a glow-in-the-dark thread worked, I appreciated them taking the time to email me and let me know. I would rather have a great product than one that would disappear after several washings.
I have washed the blanket at least six times already, and it looks brand new. How in the world I’ve kept a white blanket spotless with a newborn and a 4-year-old is beyond me! This is my first personalized blankie for Sissa, and I hope that it’ll hold up for her to share with her children one day!
Overall, I’m very satisfied with how simple the website was in personalizing the blankie. It was super simple. If you are clueless about what you want the blankie to read, you can select the occasion, and it’ll come up with suggestions…CLEVER!
