Princess Daughter Blanket: A Castle Full of Love

Princess Daughter Blanket shows a pink fairy-tale castle rising above a row of eight cartoon princesses, and the printed words read “To my beautiful Daughter Princess never forget I love you.” It is a message meant for a little girl who already feels like royalty, and it reads as a promise she can keep close. The line works whether she is five or fifteen, because the castle and the crowns speak to the dreamer in her.

Behind the design

The castle sits in the center of the blanket, its pointed towers and tall windows drawn in soft pink tones against a sky of clouds and scattered white stars. At its base stand eight princesses holding hands, each in a different gown: lilac, pink, yellow, sky blue and cream. Their hair ranges from golden blonde to auburn and deep brown, and every one wears a small crown or tiara, so a girl can pick out the one that looks most like her. Above them, the words are set in a mix of black and rose lettering, with the phrase “never forget” standing apart in a brighter pink. The border repeats a scalloped pink pattern, like the trim on a storybook page. Together, the castle, the sky and the lettering build one soft picture of a fairy tale that belongs to her.

Who gets the joke

This blanket is made for the little girl who wears a plastic crown to breakfast and insists on being called Princess at dinner. It also speaks to the mom, dad or grandparent who wrote those words in their own voice and wants her to hear them every time she wraps up in it. Older girls who have outgrown fairy tales often keep a blanket like this for the reminder it carries. You will notice the joke lands best when the person receiving it already knows the feeling of being the princess of the house.

Gift and choice

This is a natural pick for a birthday, a first day at school, a sleepover or a night when she needs a little extra comfort. Choose the fleece throw blanket for a light layer on the couch, or the sherpa blanket when you want something extra warm on a cold evening. Wrap it up with a card, then watch her spot the castle and find her favorite princess first.
