A photo blanket for a deployment, in either direction

Send the family's faces to the person who is away, or send the person who is away home to the kids' couch. Either way it is a photograph someone can sleep under.

For the one who is away

Sherpa has a thick fleece back and is the warmer, bulkier one. Velveteen has no fleece backing, so it is the lighter of the two, and it holds the most photographic detail. For a blanket that has to travel, choose velveteen at 50 by 60 inches.

For the family at home

A Hug From was made for this: grandparents, deployments, dorm rooms, hospital stays. The message area takes four short lines. Write what you would say at bedtime.

What people ask before they order

Can you ship to an APO, FPO, or DPO address?
Write to hello@blanketized.com before you order. Military addresses are handled differently from ordinary domestic shipping, and we would rather confirm delivery to yours than take the order and find out.
Which design for a child whose parent is deployed?
A Hug From. The parent's face, a line across the top, and a short message in their own words. The opening line and the name are both yours to write, so it can say Mom, Daddy, or a nickname.
How long does it take?
Seven to twelve days door to door within the US. For a homecoming or a departure date, order at least two weeks ahead.
