Giving a Personalized Blanket

There are many ways that you can make someone happy. Giving them a gift like a personalized blanket however, is one of the best ways. You are going to be able to give them a gift that simply keeps on giving, and it will be a gift that they can cherish for the rest of their lives.

There is nothing quite like a personalized photo blanket for your loved one. First of all, you are going to be able to choose the colors and the photos, which means that you can really give your personalized blanket the exact look that you want it to have. Another great thing about the blankets is that you will be able to choose from a number of different settings and backgrounds for the colors as well as for the photos and also the way that the photos are put onto the personalized blanket. You will be able to choose from all of these settings, which makes the personalized blanket truly a beautiful and unique gift.

Another thing that is great about a photo personalized blanket is that you are going to be able to enjoy this gift for a long time. You will see that it is nearly impossible for it to fade because the photo is actually woven into the blanket, not just printed on it. This means that you can use it for whatever you want to, wash it whenever you want, and enjoy it for years to come.

Remember that personalized blankets are a great way to show someone that you are thinking about them, and also that you care. You'll be able to find that these blankets are something that your friends and family will always cherish, and something that you can always talk about. It is simply a great gift from PersonalThrows.com!

How Can I Send You A Picture?

You can send us your picture by basically two methods:

Upload Online: You can either upload the picture at the same time when you are placing the order for your personalthrow. This is the recommended method as this is the quickest way to get your pictures to us. But, if you are ordering at a time, when you dont have the picture available to upload, then you can still place the order by selecting, "Upload Later" Option and then later go to http://www.personalthrows.com/upload to upload your digital photograph after the fact. Please ensure to write the order number in the message section of the upload form, when you are using this option.
Send Photo By Mail: In case you do not have a digital version of the picture and you are unable to get the picture scanned to be converted to a digital format. Or you just prefer to send us the picture and take care of it all. You can mail us the picture to us in a photo mailer envelop once you have placed the order on the internet or over the phone. Thus noting the order number on the envelop and preferebly on the back of the picture. Once we recieve the picture in the mail, we will scan it and start processing your personalthrow order. We also have a mail-in order form if you prefer not to use the internet or the phone to order, and like to do it all by mail. Please contact customer service at 1-866-678-6933 (toll free) to request an order kit to be mailed to you.

We highly recommend that you do not send us the pictures by email as they are many times lost in spam and quality of pictures are sometimes degraded due to the mailing service used. Any further questions in this context please call or email customer service at 1-866-678-6933 or contact@personalthrows.com respectively.

How Do I Order One?

Step 1: Pick Your Photograph

You can use any photo you'd like - but remember that the better the photo, the better the finished PictureWeave product. We have a few suggestions, listed below:

SIZE: Any photo will work. We prefer photos larger than 5x7. For digital photographs, please make sure that they were taken by a 1 megapixel or better camera.
CONTRAST: A high contrast photo works the best. A black dog on a black couch in a dark room will not yield the best results. Conversely, a white dog in the snow will not work well, either. If your main subject is brightly lit and the background is somewhat dark, the results will be brilliant! Please avoid dark shadows on the face or subject.
FOCUS: Make sure your subject is sharp. The better the focus, the better the final piece will be.
COLOR: We can use black and white or color.
COMPOSITION: Keep it simple. Make sure that your subject occupies 60-80% of the photo. This is not an absolute necessity, but it will make for a better finished piece.
Creative cropping of your photo will result in a better composition, and ultimately, a better finished piece. If you would like us to crop your photo to best show the subject matter, please indicate so when you place your order.
