How to Personalize and Gift Blankets for Mom?

April 16, 2025 by Tessa Chavara

There’s a moment every mother holds close to heart. The first time she cradles her newborn, the chaotic joy of a family road trip, the quiet pride of watching her child graduate. These memories fade into life’s background noise unless we give them shape. At Printerpix, we craft personalized photo blankets that do more than warm laps. They cradle stories, celebrate love, and whisper, “You matter.”

Here’s how to match the perfect blanket to the extraordinary mom in your life, with sizes and materials designed for her unique role.

1. For the New Mom: A Pocket-Sized Hug for Baby’s First Year

Product Pick: Soft Fleece Baby Blanket (20″x25″)
This isn’t just a blanket—it’s a time capsule in fleece. Sized like a love letter (20″x25″), it’s ideal for swaddling newborns or draping over strollers. Imagine her unfolding it at 2 AM feedings to find a sonogram image paired with “Hello, Little One” in delicate script. The buttery-soft, hypoallergenic fleece is gentle enough for delicate skin, yet durable for years of toddler snuggles.

Personalize it with:
• A 3D sonogram image with “Your First Bedroom View” in delicate script
• Baby’s hospital footprint scan beside “Tiny Feet, Giant Impact”
• A collage of positive pregnancy test + nursery prep photos titled “The Making of You”

2. For the Pet Mom: A Fur-Friendly Masterpiece

Product Pick: Sherpa Throw (50″x60″)
For the mom whose camera roll is 90% dog photos, this Sherpa throw is a throne for her furry royalty. The 50″x60″ size drapes perfectly over couches, while the luxe Sherpa fabric mimics her pup’s cozy fur. Customize it with a collage of her rescue dog’s goofiest poses or a regal portrait captioned “Queen of the House”. Bonus: Sherpa’s durability means it survives muddy paws and park adventures.

Personalize it with:
• A regal portrait of her rescue dog crowned “CEO of This Household”
• Paws-and-nose prints forming a heart with adoption date coordinates
• A comic strip of their daily routine: “6AM: Breakfast Demands. 11AM: Squirrel Patrol.”

3. For Grandma: A Legacy Woven in Every Stitch

Product Pick: Heavyweight Plush Fleece Queen Blanket (60″x80″)
Grandma’s lap is the family’s favorite seat, and this 60″x80″ fleece blanket ensures there’s room for everyone. The heavyweight fabric retains warmth during marathon story times, while fade-resistant printing preserves grandkids’ handprints or a vintage photo of her mother’s wedding day. Add a family tree design with birthdates and watch her eyes light up as she traces each branch.

Personalize it with:
• A vintage wedding photo of her mom holding her as a baby, captioned “Love Repeats Itself”
• Handprints/footprints of every grandchild forming a family tree
• Recreated pages from her old recipe book beside “Secret Ingredient: Your Hugs”

4. For the Adventurer: Trail Memories She Can Take Anywhere

Product Pick: Waterproof Push Fleece Throw (50″x60″)
She’s the mom who hikes mountains and hunts sunsets. Our 50″x60″ Push Fleece Throw combines adventure-ready practicality with sentimental charm. The water-resistant backing shrugs off dew during sunrise picnics, while the fleece front showcases a map of her favorite national park dotted with trail photos. Add “Home Is Where We Pitch the Tent” in rustic font, and it becomes her favorite campfire companion.

Personalize it with:
• A topographic map of her favorite hike marked “Where I Found My Strength”
• A constellation chart of the sky on her child’s birth date
• Trailhead signs from all 50 states she’s visited forming a border

5. For the Stylish Mom: A Chic Heirloom She’ll Display Proudly

Product Pick: Woven Image Throw Blanket (50″x60″)
For the mom with an eye for timeless décor, this isn’t just a blanket – it’s woven art. The 50″x60″ woven image blanket transforms photos into textile masterpieces with exquisite texture. Unlike printed blankets, the woven technique gives black-and-white family portraits a museum-quality depth, perfect for draping over her favorite armchair.

Personalize it with:

  • A vintage-style portrait of her mother’s wedding day
  • An artistic close-up of her garden roses with “Love Grows Here”
  • A tapestry-like collage of all her children’s baby shoes

6. For the Mom Who Does It All: A Quiet Oasis of Calm

Product Pick: Woven Image Queen Blanket (60″x80″)
Between carpools and conference calls, she deserves a sanctuary. Turn those efforts into threads with this woven queen masterpiece. The 60″x80″ size drapes beautifully across beds. Personalize it with a minimalist design—her mantra (“Breathe, Mama”) beside a photo of her reading to the kids. The woven texture makes you feel having a huge, lovely hug.

Unlike printed blankets, the woven texture:
➤ Feels substantial like a cherished quilt
➤ Develops a soft patina over time
➤ Hides pet hair between cleanings

7. For the Minimalist Mom-to-Be: Understated Elegance

Product Pick: Woven Image Swaddle (37″x52″)
Modern moms deserve keepsakes that match their aesthetic. Celebrate her journey into motherhood with a 37″x52″ woven image blanket that grows with her baby. Now: a pregnancy announcement piece with a watercolor sonogram and “Little Love, Coming Soon”. Later: a nursery wall hanging or tummy-time mat. The material is gentle for sensitive skin, and the medium size transitions seamlessly from hospital snuggles to toddler adventures.

A few simple design ideas to elevate its subtle texture:

  • A single line-drawing sonogram with “Est. 2025”
  • Faint watercolor birth flowers of her due date month
  • Embroidery-style coordinates of where she first felt baby kick

The matte finish and breathable weave make it ideal for:
✔ Nursery wall hanging
✔ Breastfeeding cover
✔ Tummy-time mat

8. For the Long-Distance Mom: A Reversible Embrace

Product Pick: Double-Sided Push Fleece Queen (60″x80″)
Distance can’t dim a mother’s love. Our 60″x80″ Push Fleece Queen blanket offers two sides of comfort:

  • Side 1: A collage of your last visit—baking cookies, hiking, laughing till your sides hurt.
  • Side 2: “Always With You” in her handwriting (upload a scanned note) over her favorite floral pattern.

The reversible design means she can flip between memories, while the queen size ensures it drapes over her bed like a hug from afar.
