We have been lucky with the weather in the UK over the summer. It's been lovely and warm and it's been great weather to eat outside. However having to get up early to take my son to the train station, I've realised it is getting colder when I get up and before long the night's will be drawing in and Winter will be here and it will be time to get the blankets out. 

I don't know about you but I love to relax in the evening, snuggled up on the sofa with a blanket wrapped around me. So when My Picture got in touch to ask me to review a personalised blanket I thought that would be handy for the winter months. This is an advertorial with My Picture but all words and opinions are my own.

Who Are My Picture?

My Picture started their company due to a passion for art and photography. They sell a range of photography from simple reprints to canvas wall prints, puzzles, rugs, mugs and tote bags (ideal for your business promotion), calendars and photo books. They also have over 12,000 reviews on Trusted Shops, where they score 4.67 out of 5. That's a pretty impressive score don't you think?

Ordering the blanket

The blanket was easy to order. You upload the photo and then you can drag the photo to fit the print area. If you want you can also add text. The blanket I ordered is 200 cm by 150 cm in size but you can order a smaller size too.

I'm always looking for companies that respect the environment and My Picture says they follow a strict eco-friendly manufacturing policy, from the production of the blanket to the printing process itself, so you can be sure that the ordering is not at the expense of the environment. That's great to know.

What I thought

The personalised blanket is large, big enough to cover a double bed. The photo is bright and colourful and the colour tones are true to life. I must admit, seeing my husband and I enlarged on the blanket to at least double size made me laugh! You never quite know how things like this will turn out and I was really pleased. Top tip - spend some time in a photo editing package first to make your teeth whiter and iron out any wrinkles first otherwise you may get a shock.

The quality of the blanket could not be better. The stitching had no loose seams and the blanket is really well-finished. The side with the photo on is low pile but very soft, and the reverse is polar fleece grey and super cosy. . The company say the blanket is odourless and I liked that it didn't have any strange smell to it when it arrived. Machine washable at 30 degrees it's straightforward to keep clean too.

I can't wait to snuggle up under the blanket on a cold winter's day.
