Celebrities, Smart Shoppers Turn to PhotoThrow™ Gifts to Make Holidays Memorable
by James Finch
Looking for a unique holiday gift that you're loved one(s) will cozy up to all winter long, year after year? Talk show host Oprah Winfrey sent South African legend Nelson Mandela two PhotoThrow™ gifts last year to celebrate holiday gift giving. President Bush ordered a PhotoThrow™ for Prime Minister Tony Blair to cement their alliance, and to remind Mr. Blair throughout the year of their friendship. "Your loved one will be looking at your photo gift more often, when it's close to her or him, instead of hidden away in a photo album," said Mary Ann Stetz, an authorized PhotoThrow™ distributor. "It's a wonderful way to remind a loved one of a special warm and fuzzy memory."
PhotoThrow combines your photography with knitting for a special, one-of-a-kind, breath-taking holiday gift. Your loved one gets a soft, lush throw made from heavyweight Amilux yarn (the same fabric use to weave a sweater). Your photo image is knitted right into the throw – not printed or heat transferred. As a result, your image will not fade or wash off, remaining steadfast for years to come. You can wash your throw in cold water and air/tumble dry on the gentle cycle to preserve your gift a lifetime. Your gift can be as creative as your imagination. Make your most special moment memorable with any special photo: your wedding, your baby, pet, your sweetheart or a military photo!
You can send in any picture, color or black and white (limited to a size of 8.5 by 11 inches), with an image of at least 240x240 pixels. You can email your photo (scanning at 300 dpi and in grayscale), saving the file as a jpeg with minimal compression. Fulfillment is done quickly to accommodate holiday shoppers, and all orders are shipped UPS unless otherwise specified. For a modest extra charge, you can personalize your PhotoThrow further by adding text.
PhotoThrow™ offers a family of photo knit products to help make your holiday gift extra special. Gifts come in two sizes: 30 inch by 40 inch and 40 inch by 60 inch. Your most memorable photos can be preserved on knitted throws, pillows or sweaters. What a wonderful gift that keeps on giving all year around! And so many choices, too. Over 50 borders to choose from in the Sweetheart family of PhotoThrow, one can select a border surrounding your photo, as simple as "I Love You," or "I love Grandma & Grandpa," or even "World's Greatest Pet."
We can even honor our servicemen and servicewomen with a personalized Military Throw, choosing from any of the four branches of U.S. military service. Your serviceman's photo would be personalized with the branch logo, including United States Army, Marines, Navy or Air Force, in a memory to be treasured and respected for a lifetime.
Proud parents can announce the birth of a newborn with a photo and commemorate the day, weight and length of the infant on the throw. The BabyThrows differ from the original throws, coming in a pastel color.
PhotoThrow™, the brainchild of textile veteran Andy Concilio, makes warm and cozy consumer keepsakes. With over 30 years in the knitting business, Concilio thought the idea of placing a photo on a throw, pillow or sweater would be the perfect way for families and loved ones to maintain affection for one another throughout the year.
