Lion Dad Blanket: A Letter to My Daughter from Dad

Lion Dad Blanket shows a letter from a father to his daughter, set over a proud lion and his cub, and the words “I can’t promise to be here for the rest of your life” make a quiet, honest promise. The printed line says he will always have her back, and it means that even when he cannot be there, he will still love her. It works as a reminder she can carry, and it is made for a dad who wants his words to last.

What is printed on it

The design opens with the words “TO MY DAUGHTER” in bold orange capitals across the top. Below them, a block of cream and orange lines reads “NEVER FORGET THAT I LOVE YOU” and “I HOPE YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AS MUCH AS I BELIEVE IN YOU.” Lower down, “THIS OLD LION WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK” stands out in large letters, followed by the lines about the rest of your life and the rest of mine. A lion with a full mane sits beside a smaller lion cub, both in warm gold tones against a black background. An ornate gold border frames the whole letter, and the signature “LOVE, YOUR DAD” closes it at the bottom right.

Made for these people

This blanket is for a daughter who hears her father's voice in every line, and for a dad who wants to say something he can't always say out loud. You might choose it for a daughter who has moved away, is starting a career, or simply needs a reminder that she is backed up. The phrase “Lion Dad Blanket” fits anyone who has ever been called the lion in the family.

A gift idea that fits

Give it for a graduation, a birthday or a Father's Day when you want the gift to speak for you. It also works on a bad day, when the words on the throw can do what a phone call sometimes cannot. Choose the fleece or sherpa style and let her wrap up with the letter over her shoulders.
