Some people are just hard to shop for, right? As you make your holiday gift shopping list, I’m sure you’ve come across a couple of people that when you ask them what they want for Christmas, they say “oh, I don’t know.” It’s so frustrating!  I find it especially hard to come up with great gifts for my parents and grandparents every year. I came across a site called PhotoWeavers, and now I know exactly what to get those hard-to-buy-for people on my holiday gift list!

PhotoWeavers turns your photo into an incredible woven photo blanket that showcases your photo, plus personalization like a name, a special date, and/or a border. There’s a great “Inspiration Gallery” on the site that shows examples of different combinations you can make. Looking at the gallery gave me even more ideas for who a photo blanket or photo throw would be perfect for! Know someone who just had a baby? Design a blanket for them featuring a photo of their precious new addition, plus the baby’s name and date of birth.  Someone who graduated from high school or college would appreciate a cozy photo throw with their photo and the name of their school and when they graduated.  Give your parents, grandparents or a special family friend a photo of your kids for a special keepsake. The possibilities are endless!

PhotoWeavers can also turn your photo into a wall hanging, a pillow, a purse, or a tote bag. What a great way to have a special photo with you all the time!  Ordering is so easy – just upload your photo and personalize it. PhotoWeavers will edit your photo so it’s the best it can be, scan it into their digital interface, then weave it with over 8 miles of cotton.  After washing your blanket or throw so it’s extra comfy when it arrives, they ship your finished product via FedEx, and you have your photo throw or other item! There’s a video on the site that shows the process, it’s really cool to see how all the threads come together to make an exact replica of a photo.
