Cold Weather, Warm Memories: Why a T-Shirt Quilt Is the Coziest Gift of the Season

Why do we give gifts during the holiday season? Or, more importantly, what sparks us to give anyone any particular gift? For many, the price tag value of a gift is the only thing that matters. Or perhaps for some it’s the sheer novelty––we’ve all had our fair share of “gag” gifts at White Elephant exchanges or for Secret Santa. 

For us, we see heartfelt gift-giving as having two factors: sentimentality and practicality. When we choose the perfect gift, it has a sentimentality––a meaning to the person we’re giving it to beyond the inherent value of the gift. But, it’s also important to think about what a gift offers practically––how can the person use your gift in a way that will make their life even better?

In many of our blogs, we focus on the sentimentality of giving a t-shirt quilt for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions. Today, let’s focus on how practical and useful a t-shirt quilt can be as a new addition to a home, especially during the coming winter months.

WARMTH FOR THE WINTER CHILL

To fight against those long, cold winter nights, there’s nothing like having a warm companion like a t-shirt quilt. As an additional bedspread or a new living room staple, t-shirt quilts have a soft finish and a quilted heft to them that you won’t get from a traditional blanket. Also, depending on where your loved ones are living, they may have to deal with horrible blizzards and expensive heating. A warm quilt that not only displays all of their favorite memories but also provides comfort during often unpleasant times can make a world of difference. Giving a t-shirt quilt to your loved one gives them comfort all winter long. 

A SEASON OF COMFORTABLE ACTIVITIES

T-shirt quilts are also the perfect companion for all your loved ones’ favorite cozy winter activities! Here are just a few that your gift of a t-shirt quilt will let them enjoy even more:

• Reading in their book nook: Book lovers always know where they love to read in the house. In addition to perfect lighting and pleasant candles, give them a t-shirt quilt that they can cuddle up with while tearing into their new favorite novel.

• Cozy movie nights or binge-watching: Whether sitting down in the living room for a movie or an entire season of the hot new show, watching everything is better when curled up in a cozy t-shirt quilt. Add some popcorn and hot chocolate and you’re all set!

• Family game night: Could be board games around the dining room table or video games in the living room––no matter what kind of “gaming” their household does, it’s always better to be cozy while doing it. And hopefully getting cozy will resolve any disputes about broken rules or stolen properties.

• Enjoying their well-earned break: Finally, the holiday season should be a massive exhale from a busy year. All their hard work has led up to enjoying a bit of respite with friends, family and loved ones, so your gift of a t-shirt quilt will take their relaxation to the extreme!

No matter the activities your loved ones choose to wind down with, giving a gift that will make them even more cozy and relaxed while they do it will always be appreciated.

ADD EVEN MORE COZINESS

Once you give someone a t-shirt quilt, that’s only the tip of the coziness iceberg. Winter’s a long season––or at least it always feels like it––so here are some more cozy items to give as gifts beyond a standard t-shirt quilt.

• T-Shirt Pillows and Pillow Cases: We don’t just do t-shirt quilts! You can transform your loved ones’ t-shirts into a comfy pillow to display anywhere in the house. Or, for even more customizability, we offer t-shirt pillow cases as well, so you choose the style of pillow yourself. These are perfect for those who only have a small collection of t-shirts they’re willing to part with. Make their winter the coziest ever with their t-shirt pillow!

• Fuzz Monsta T-Shirt Quilt: Our standard and premium t-shirt quilts are cozy, but nothing beats the coziness of the Fuzz Monsta. Backed and lined with our ultra-soft and durable Minky fabric and made of extra-large t-shirt panels, the Fuzz Monsta is the peak of t-shirt quilt comfort. Your loved ones will never go back from cuddling up with their Fuzz Monsta after you give it to them––it’s that cozy!

WRAP UP THE MEMORIES

This holiday season, take the extra time to think about what gifts are the perfect intersection of sentimental and practical. T-shirt quilts are extremely sentimental because they’re stitched from cherished memories, but they are also the pinnacle of comfort through the winter months. It’s time for you to embrace the comfort of the season and give your loved ones the coziest gift they’ve ever gotten, a MemoryStitch t-shirt quilt.

Don’t forget––the holidays are approaching fast! Our social media channels on Instagram and Facebook will keep you updated on our Black Friday deals and discounts––as well as important dates to order by, to ensure you get your gifts in time for Christmas. In the meantime, hop over to our collection of t-shirt quilts and pillows and get shopping for what are sure to be the best gifts of the holidays!
