There are certain people on your Christmas list every year that are always hard to buy for. Grandparents and in-laws seem to top the list for most people, but even your spouse can present a challenge when they say, “I don’t need anything, really!” As much as I try and tell my husband this, he misses the part where shopping for him and watching him open a gift at Christmas is part of the fun. Bonus points for me when he really loves it.
After seeing for myself the quality of a photo blanket from College.com, I’m convinced that this is the perfect gift for those hard to buy for people and anyone you want to wrap in a cozy blanket covered in beautiful memories. The company features other photo gifts of course, like canvas, calendars, iphone cases and even pillows but the blankets – in our Canadian climate – is where it’s at this Christmas! You also have a choice of blanket in fleece, sherpa, printed woven and woven image.
The website itself, for browsing and purchasing your product, is well done. I’ve been on basic web graphic design sites that leave me banging my head on the desk because of the poor layout, uploading issues, etc., but this website design area was flawless. I was able to easily create the blanket collage (upload, drag, drop photos) and also add in colored patches, text and designs. You’ll get a warning if the resolution of the photos isn’t the greatest (typical when uploading photos from your phone into a large size) but I found upon delivery that the photos were just fine, so use your judgement with the design.
The company prints and ships from the United States and their shipping policy is here for review (take note of the shipping prices for international and the shipping time).
Their blankets are backed by Collage.com’s Just Right 100% satisfaction guarantee: if a customer doesn’t like his or her order, they’ll make it right or refund their money.
