I just had the opportunity to create this really cute blanket for my grandchild for review. I have to admit that it was one of the easiest personalization experiences I have ever had. I have ordered many personalized products over the years but none were so quick, concise and easy to follow as Fill in the Blankie. If you are like me, you never heard of Fill in the Blankie so this was a new experience. They have a variety of blankets to choose from to include colors and thread options and the sayings are up to you to add that extra touch of love. Can't think of anything creative or enough to fill each side? No worries as they even have leading occasions to choose from with suggestions on what to have personalized. Nothing can be easier!
When you first land on the page, you can choose from blankets based on the good/soft, better/softer or best/softest level. Under each of those categories are:- Soren's Sleep Well - $39 / $67
- Sparky Go Lucky - $73
- Classics by Sonya - $49 / $92
- 400 ct Sheety Blanket - $87
- Betty's Most Graceful Waffle Weave - $67 / $93
- Natalie's on Cloud Nine - $109
- Hazel's Pride & Joy - $81 / $109
- Pharaoh's Finest - $78/ $145
The beauty of Fill in the Blankie, it's all click, click, type and you are done! I ended up choosing Natalie's on Cloud Nine in Ballerina Pink on Ivy Satin with a red thread to accentuate Christmas. Since my grandchild loves to cuddle and loves a soft blanket, I thought this was the optimal choice to have a thorough reviewer as she's a picky one even at the tender age of 13 months. The 30" x 30" will be perfect size for her too.
Once you click next, you are taken to the personalization screen and can add what you want to all four sides or less, it's all up to you. There is a maximum of 50 characters so no writing books! It's the perfect space to convey a loving message while creating a lifetime of memories. After you pick what you want to have personalized on the satin part, your choice or choose from their suggested texts if you prefer, you pick the font, thread color and did I mention they have glow in the dark thread? How cool is that?
For an extra charge, you can also choose to have your gift of love gift wrapped, add a cute Pig-in-a-Blankie soft stuffed animal and an extra illustration added. After you choose any extras, it's purchase time and that's it!
It can't be any easier than having a person come to your house and write everything down for you. I was very pleased at the ease and speed I was able to get through the ordering process. Nothing was confusing and it was smooth.
Stay tuned for my review and giveaway but don't wait too long as this really will make a great Christmas present for your loved one!
