Faith-filled gifts for Grandma

11. Christmas Wreath Blanket with Name & Bible Verse
A watercolor wreath of 6–8 botanicals around her name and a KJV verse, or one you choose. The Christmas Wreath blanket comes in five colors.
12. Nativity Christmas Blanket with Family Name
The family name and year under the Star of Bethlehem, with a Bible verse. The Nativity blanket is a keepsake to bring out every Christmas.
How to choose the right blanket for Grandma
- Names or photos? Names suit large families and grandkids of very different ages. Photos are better when you have a few really good, recent pictures.
- Fleece or sherpa? Fleece is lighter and works year-round. Sherpa adds a thick, warm backing, a good pick for grandparents who always feel the cold.
- Which size? 50x60 inches covers one person on the sofa. 60x80 inches is big enough to share with a grandchild.
- Check the spelling. We print names exactly as you type them, so double-check every grandchild's name before you order.
When to order
Every blanket is made to order and takes 3–5 business days to produce, plus shipping. Order by November 30 to have it arrive in time for Christmas.
