Christmas photo blankets for the whole family
A Christmas photo blanket is the gift that gets used every evening from December to March. Ours come in three sizes (30x40, 50x60 and 60x80 inches), in soft fleece or extra-warm sherpa.
- Family Christmas Photo Blanket – Rustic Frame: five family photos in rustic wood frames with lanterns, pine and green plaid, plus lines you write yourself.
- Christmas Photo Blanket with Custom Message: one favorite picture as a polaroid on a festive table, with your own message underneath. It's an easy pick when you only have one great photo.
- Family Christmas Blanket with Face Photos: each family member's face on a cartoon family in matching Christmas pajamas.
Tip: pick photos taken in daylight, with faces looking toward the camera. Close-ups print far better than group shots taken from across the room.
Gifts for Grandma and Grandpa
Grandparents already have everything, except more ways to see the grandkids. Blankets that list every grandchild's name are some of our most-loved gifts for them.
- Grandma Blanket with Grandkids' Names – Gingerbread: up to 12 grandkids, each as a little boy or girl gingerbread.
- Family Snowman Blanket with Names: a snow globe of snowmen with up to 12 kids' or grandkids' names.
- Family Christmas Blanket – Elf Express: an elf train carrying everyone's names. Kids love finding their own name on it.
For faith-filled families, the Nativity Christmas Blanket with Family Name & Bible Verse and the Christmas Wreath Blanket with Name & Bible Verse make meaningful gifts for Mom, Grandma or Nana.
Gifts for pet lovers
For many families, the dog or cat is the star of the Christmas card. Give them the spotlight on a blanket or a T-Shirt.
- Dog Christmas Photo Blanket – Santa Paws: five pet photos on kraft cream with their name on a red ribbon.
- Christmas Cat Blanket – Funny Cat Tree: the cat knocking over the Christmas tree, with your cat's name and family name. Every cat owner will get the joke.
- Custom Pet Christmas T-Shirt – Santa Hat: your dog or cat's photo in a Santa hat, with their name.
- Custom Dog Christmas T-Shirt – Ugly Sweater: your pet's face on an ugly-sweater design.
Gifts for couples
- First Christmas Photo Blanket – Pine Wreath: five couple photos under a pine wreath, with the most important one cut into a heart. Made for newlyweds, new parents or a first Christmas together.
- Penguin Couple Christmas Throw Blanket: two cuddling penguins in a snowy village. It's a sweet pick when you'd rather not use photos.
Christmas party shirts with faces
Office party, family reunion or a Christmas in the sun: a custom Christmas Hawaiian shirt with your face on it gets everyone laughing.
- Custom Christmas T-Rex Santa Hawaiian Shirt with Face: a dinosaur Santa for the funniest person in the family.

The first Christmas after losing someone is hard. The Christmas in Heaven Memorial Blanket pairs a favorite photo with a cardinal, a quiet way to keep a loved one close during the holidays.
How to order in time for Christmas
- Choose your photos early. Use clear, well-lit photos; close-ups of faces work best.
- Check every name and line of text. We print exactly what you type, including spelling.
- Order by November 30. Every gift is made to order. Blankets, Hawaiian shirts and T-Shirts all take 3–5 business days to produce, plus shipping time. Ordering by the end of November gives your gift time to arrive before Christmas.
FAQ
What photos work best for a personalized Christmas gift? Bright, sharp photos where faces are clearly visible. Phone photos are fine; avoid screenshots and photos taken in dim light.
Can I preview my design before ordering? On many products, yes: a live preview on the product page shows your photos and names before you check out. For blankets, you can also ask for a proof by leaving a note with your order.
How long does it take to make my gift? Every item is made to order. Blankets, Hawaiian shirts and T-Shirts all take 3–5 business days to produce before they ship. For Christmas, we recommend ordering by November 30.
Fleece or sherpa, which blanket should I choose? Fleece is lighter and works all year round. Sherpa adds a thick, warm backing, which is perfect for winter and for anyone who's always cold.
Do you have gifts for kids? Yes. Our Hawaiian shirts come in youth sizes, and blankets like the Polar Bear Christmas Throw are made with kids in mind.
