Product Reviewed: Personalized Ubby Blanket by My Ubby

Reviewed by: Kate Hetrick, mother to 7 month old daughter Lily

Ok, how cool is it to say that you designed your own daughter’s blanket and that it was custom made specifically for her? Well, I can say that and I absolutely love Lily’s “ubby”. The designing process on the website www.myubby.com is really easy to follow and it is fun. First you choose between a one or two-sided blanket. The blankets are approximately 35” x 45” which I didn’t really pay much attention to the measurements when ordering the blanket. But when I got the blanket I was so surprised at how big it is! It is perfect because I fold it up (of course in a way that the cute monogram is showing so everyone can see it) and use it to cover my daughter and keep her warm in her car seat carrier. But then I also lay it on the floor for my daughter to play on. And the blanket is big enough for Lily and I to cuddle up with when we are laying on the couch, which is our Sunday afternoon ritual.

 I chose the two-sided blanket and the next step is to pick from a variety of fabrics and colors for both sides of the blanket. There are not an overwhelming amount of choices but there are definitely more than a couple to choose from so it is nice. I chose the pink bubbles and pink fluffy fabrics. These fabrics are so soft that I totally want this blanket for myself (I’m sure Lily won’t notice if I borrow her ubby). The next step allows you to choose a color and either a satin or stitched edging and I chose the pink satin edging which is smooth and shiny. The last step allows you to either have an inscription (up to 54 characters) or a monogram on the blanket. And of course you can choose the color and font style for either one. I chose a monogram in brown. The monogram is on a corner of the blanket and the chocolate brown stitching looks so pretty with the pink blanket. Voila, the design process is super easy and the blanket came quickly.

It was packaged in a bag that had something adorable on the outside that said something to the effect that opening the bag is known to cause instant joy with side effects of giggles, very cute! Overall I love this blanket. I am very happy with the workmanship too. The blanket and monogram are sewn and stitched together really well. The fabrics seem to be very high quality and are really soft. The blanket is machine washable too.

Overall Rating: A+

I am definitely going to tell my friends to check out this site and have fun designing an ubby for their little one (or themselves). Actually I want to make a few more ubbies for my daughter too. The blankets are very high quality and it is a one of a kind blanket so what could be better than that? I love My Ubby!
