I purchased a cot blanket as a gift and was absolutely thrilled with the final product. I wish I'd known about Thread the Word sooner - all of my family and friends would have received your blankets as baby gifts. The product arrived in regional Victoria less than one week after ordering, which is amazing for a personalised product. I loved being able to "design" the blanket myself, it was so much fun to do. The quality of this blanket is fantastic, so much better than I could have imagined. My only concern (and it was slight) is that the blanket had quite a strong "washing product" smell when I first unwrapped it, and I wondered how a newborn would react to this smell - this issue was simply resolved by airing the blanket before passing on to the recipient. Thank you Thread the Word team - I love love love your blankets and can't wait for the next baby to be born so I can order again. P.S. One of my photos does not do justice to the colour as it was in shadow, but it does show the product!
