>>Baby Luxe Daily
"I love Love LOVE what Im about to show you! TRUST ME, this is that special, unique present and keepsake you have been looking for for your next baby shower or for your own newborn. Purely luxurious, customized, and practical, Fill In The Blankie is one of those gifts that will bring tears to the receivers eyes with its beauty and sentiment!"
"You'll feel cozy just perusing this website - my son recently received an embroidered blanket from them, and it is amazingly soft. This company makes giving a Baby Blanket so much more than a standby shower gift - you can customize any variety of blanket with any statement in a whole variety of fonts and colors."
"I recently had the wonderful opportunity to pick out and customize a blankie for Kristin my sister. Now I did not know that she was having a girl when I choose the blanket but either way I love what I did choose and I hope my baby niece will love it too."
"The perfect blankie can be hard for trached kids to find. Our RT was adamant that any kid with a trach not use blankets made from material that 'shed', such as minkee. That includes handmade quilts tied with yarn. The popular rag quilts too.I simply can't say enough about the absolutely perfect blanket she created for Parker. From marketing, to presentation, to the quality of work, quality is of the upmost importance. And how perfect are the words she custom embroidered on Parker's blankie?"
"Fill-in-the-Blankie is a special, meaningful gift for babies, toddlers, and new parents! Personalized used to mean that you could have baby's initials monogrammed onto to an item; Fill-in-the-Blankie blankets are ULTRA-personalized, allotting up to 200 characters on each of your blanket's four sides!"
"New parents almost always receive baby blankets as shower gifts and often as Christmas gifts for their child's first Christmas. Often these blankets are either handmade, or personalized in some way or another with the babys name and birthday. And sometimes in these cases, the blankets are delicate and end up on a shelf or in a box only to surface when the child is old enough to appreciate the nostalgia."
"If you have a baby to shop for this holiday season, you'll definitely want to check out Fill In The Blankie and their ultra Personalized Baby Blankets! This makes a great first Christmas (or any Christmas) gift, but its also very fun to give to expecting parents, new baby, first birthday and many more."
"I just love Baby Blankets. They're so soft and little and cute. Just add a baby all bundled up inside and you have just about the cutest thing in the world. With as many baby blankets as we have my oldest still became attached to one particular blanket. It seems all kids fall in love with one. I've discovered a brand of blanket that's sure to become not only baby's favorite but mommy's favorite too."
"My beautiful niece was born last month. I knew she was going to be baptized and wanted to get her the perfect gift. I really wanted something that would be a reminder of her special day, one that could be kept and looked upon years later as a memento and become a family heirloom...."
"Remember when your guidance counselor told you find one thing to do and do it well? Fill In The Blankie has done just that. They have taken the art of personalization and created beautiful, usable, affordable, cuddle-able Baby Blankets..."
"Looking for a super soft, luxurious Personalized Blanket? Fill in the Blankie can take care of you! Fill In The Blankie specializes in custom blankets for birthdays, baptisms, baby showers, you name it, they can create it! What's so cool about their blankets is that there isn't a teeny tiny personalized name embroidered on one corner. Oh no! They use all the space they can, all four sides of the blanket!"
"It seems like anything personalized is in right now. You see personalized pacifier clips, labels like the orbit labels I reviewed, onesies, bibs and more. Personalized items for baby really add that special touch. Fill in the Blankie is an ultra Personalized Blankie, taking it one step further..."
"I have three children and another one on the way. So Ive gotten a lot of Baby Gifts! And I have to say while Ive loved them all, I always particularly loved the personalized Baby Gifts . . . especially the personalized Baby Blankets. That's because not only are these Personalized Baby Blankets soft and useful..."
"Today I received in the mail a beautiful Blankie from Fill In The Blankie. It is a beautiful blankie for sure. Every child would want one...heck I even want one. LOL. The quality of the blankie is very soft and the satin on the edges of the blankie are super soft as well..."
"Featured is www.fillintheblankie.com - out of Dallas, TX - that specializes in ultra Personalized Baby Blankets. Not only do they make great baby shower gifts, but they are also incredible gifts for newborns..."
"What's so unique about a Baby Blanket from Fill In The Blankie? Tamar Shay goes on-air to "fill in the blanks" as to how you can tell a story along all 4 satin edges..."
"I'm one of those folks that leaves 14 minute long voicemail messages and answers multiple choice questions with a full page essay. So you can imagine what I do with my friends' new baby cards."
"As reported on ABC's Phoenix affiliate morning show "Sonorian Living." What makes these Baby Blankets so unique? It's all about the "ultra personalization."
"Shout out your love from the rooftops, or at least from the blanket edges. Share your poetic words-of-wisdom or rip -- off a great poet -- on the satin edging all around the edges of a cuddle-soft blanket from Fill In The Blankie.com..."

Their unique selling point? Unlike most competitors, Fill in the Blankie allows buyers to have up to 200 characters embroidered along a blanket's satin edges (the norm is just 20 characters). Instead of being limited to a baby's name and date of birth, customers can pick a poem, write a letter or tell a short story -- making for ultra-personalized gifts that can be ordered in a matter of minutes.
