4. Monogrammed Throw Blanket
This blanket from Lands’ End is made from combed ring spun yarn for extra durability and softness that doesn’t fade after a wash.

For an extra $8, you can personalize this blanket with a monogram: single initial, three initials, or a word. Note: monogramming adds an extra day or two to your delivery time.
