My Niece Is Super Blanket: Affirmations for Her

My Niece Is Super Blanket puts its message right in the middle, where the big white lettering reads My Niece Is Super Awesome above a smaller line that says Best Niece Ever. The words are set on a deep teal field crossed with dark tropical leaves, so the message feels bold from across the room. It is the first thing you see, and it tells whoever picks it up exactly who it was made for.

What the print says

The main lettering is rounded and playful, with little sparkles and a short underline beneath it. Around it sit many small squares, each one a different floral pattern. Some hold butterflies in pink and orange, one shows a blue flower garden, and another has a circle of blooms around the words Beautiful Girl. The squares read like the pages of a scrapbook, one kind word after another. Among them you will find lines such as I'M PROUD OF YOU, LIVE LAUGH LOVE, NEVER GIVE UP on your dreams, and You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think. A square near the bottom invites you to wrap yourself up and consider it a big hug. The whole arrangement is busy but friendly, and every square has its own color.

Who sees themselves in it

The messages speak most clearly to a young woman who is working toward something, such as a student heading into exams, a first-year teacher or a new graduate looking for a job. They also fit a niece who has had a hard week and needs a reminder that she is capable. Aunts and uncles who are close to their nieces will recognize the Best Niece Ever line as their own. You can imagine it on a dorm bed or across the arm of a sofa during a family movie night, where it does the quiet work of reminding her she is loved.

Meant as a gift

This is a natural choice for a birthday, a high school or college graduation, or the first night in a new home. It also works well for a niece who is moving away and will miss the family, since the messages carry the reassurance of home. You can wrap it up with a handwritten note and let the squares do the talking. It comes as a fleece throw, sherpa throw, fleece blanket or sherpa blanket, so you can choose the feel that suits her.
