When I heard about the company “Merle & Velma” I was intrigued by the story behind the name. Since I am super sentimental, I absolutely LOVED reading about these 2 hardworking women who had a profound impact on the owner of this company. It is with their drive and determination in mind that the owner seeks to create a quality product for you and your baby. You can read Merle & Velma’s story HERE.
Merle & Velma puts a modern twist on a classic keepsake. This Birth Story Keepsake Blanket is absolutely beautiful and would make a thoughtful gift for the new mother this holiday season! I wish you were able to feel how soft this blanket is, but you will just have to believe me when I tell you how much my son and I love it.
All of their blankets are made with 100% organic cotton fabric and are printed with non-toxic water based dyes. I had the privilege to receive “The Joseph” color/print design which mixes striking blues and oranges. These beautiful, vibrant colors are digitally printed on the front AND back of the blanket making it adorable no matter what side you are looking at.
Made in the USA, this product is a winner!
I love having my son’s blanket personalized with his information. It is a great way to remember (I already mentioned how sentimental I am!) and enjoy reliving those special details that help make him unique!
So if you are looking for a gift for someone (or maybe even yourself!) that is sure to be a treasure for years to come, check out Merle & Velma‘s keepsakes.
