Why A Collage Photo Blanket Is A Personalized Gift To Showcase Your Favorite Pictures!

If you're like me, you take photos wherever you go

. Capturing images at play, at a special event, and even when working. The pleasure photos bring are often uplifting and I believe everyone should have such a record to rely on. The always help those precious seconds, minutes or days transcend the event and be relived over and over again.

That's why a collage photo blanket caught my attention as personalized gift with legs! it works for me and here's how it may work for you.

My niece, the Soccer Star.

You know how family obligations can require a great deal of time which you don't believe you have at first. Then something changes and the disruption becomes a regular event you happily attend. Thats how going to my niece's weekly soccer game began for me and my camera.

As a little payback for all of the enjoyment the weekly game had given me, at the end of season I wanted to do something special. I had many great pictures of my niece Laura, but I always gave her pictures. This had to be different. After researching personalized gifts, I discovered photo blankets, afghan photo blankets, tapestry photo blankets and photo towels. Who knew there was such a selection? Would she simply be blown away when she opened the box and saw herself woven into a soft photo blanket? Or would I get the eye roll and a "Thanks", as she moved on to something else.

Which Do You Choose?

The problem with my wonderful niece's gift is the fact that I had so many great shots of her soccer exploits; I wasn't sure which to use. I wanted this to be something she would cherish for a lifetime; therefore, I didn't take the decision lightly. Well, there is something I want to share about a personalized woven photo blanket. It can feature your absolute favorite photo, filling the blanket in all its glory. Or, you can elect to do a collage photo blanket.

I decided to select a collage photo blanket. The product is really quite amazing. It can feature anywhere from 6-10 of your favorite photos, all on a single blanket. You no longer have to go through the challenge and worry about selecting the single best photo. Instead you can choose all 10 of your favorite photographs and create something truly impressive. You can use the team photo, the team logo, action shots scoring goals or making a great pass or give a high- five to a teammate. You'll find that telling the story can often be accomplished much more effectively using a collage of images rather than just one.

My Many Photos Meant Many Problems

Being able to use a bunch of photos can be a blessing and a curse all at once. It's great to be able to get all the best pictures on the same photo blanket. But, if the layout of those pictures isn't organized right, it can actually look like a mess. How can you avoid this potential problem? Simply make sure the company that is creating the blanket has an experienced designer working on your project.

When dealing with multiple photos, how they are cropped and arranged makes a big difference in the final look of the woven blanket. You absolutely cannot rely on a computer to do this (although many companies do, and I don't recommend you go there if possible). You need the experienced and skillful hands of a designer to get the look just right. Not only does the designer adjust and tweak each photo as needed, it's their job to place the group of photos in the most appealing layout for the blanket you've requested.

When researching companies to buy your collage photo blanket, make sure they pass the following test: The company should have an experienced designer (a real person) and not rely on the computer to generate the design; the company should have a great track record for crafting and selling many collage photo blankets with happy customers; finally, to make it an even more enjoyable experience, look for a company that also has exceptional customer service and is ready to help you live on the phone. Now you are in great hands--the collage blanket will make the perfect gift every time!

Happy Ending!

Finally the gift arrived in its pretty gift wrapped box. Would it be loved or just passed over? I wondered how my young niece, Laura, would react. Well, was I thankful (and relieved) as I watched her face light up with joy as she took the collage photo blanket out of the gift box, and showed it to friends and family at the end of season party. In fact all the comments and praise she received made me realize I needed to continue to give her personalized gifts as to commemorate special events or occasions as she grew up.
