I Love You Blankets
Make Your Own Love Blanket
While I think the "I love you more" blankets are pretty adorable and make a great gift to a special someone, you can make your own love blanket for a lot cheaper and it can be more personalized. Also you can make a blanket that he would actually leave out in his living room or where people would see it. Especially guys will be less likely to leave out a blanket or throw that just says I love you.
If you wanting to make your own blanket but lack more then basic sewing skills or for that matter any sewing skills you can still make a I Love You Blanket for your loved one with using one that is premade. It is a perfect valentines gift or a just because gift.
