Our Air Force Family
"I was so excited and honored when Custom Woven Blankets was granted the official Air Force license, because both of my parents (that's them!) served 36 years combined in the Air Force.
(I deviated from the plan and went to the Army. Sorry Mom!)
Our goal with our officially licensed Air Force blankets is to honor the service of those dedicated airmen who put country first, and deserve the best."

Help Us Give 10 FREE Blankets to Veterans in Local Nursing Homes
This business started because my Dad, Paul, volunteered with a group providing Christmas gifts to veterans in nursing homes. He created custom cotton blankets with the emblem of the veteran's branch of service, their name, and service dates. They were a HUGE hit, sparking reminiscing and conversation even among the "silent types." The rich, bold colors in the throws also brightened up the veterans' rooms, which in care facilities are often shades of beige or white.
I now work with elders in the DC area and know firsthand how chilly nursing homes can be. We think that veterans without loved ones to spoil them still deserve something special: a unique, cozy, heirloom-quality blanket that's both practical and meaningful.
But we need your help to do it.
5% of every Officially Licensed Air Force Blanket purchase will go to our "Veteran's Blanket Fund", which covers the cost of producing blankets for veterans living in local nursing homes. We'll gift wrap and hand deliver them, and post pictures and stories on our blog (with permission).
We're hoping to raise enough money to cover the cost of 10 blankets as our first goal. Check the tracker below to see how we're doing, and THANK YOU for your support!

Custom Woven Blankets are a perfect gift for...
Air Force promotion
Every promotion earned is a step along the way in your journey –– and though we live such busy lives, these moments are worth celebrating with something a little more permanent than a beer, right?! Chart your journey up the ladder with a unique blanket for every promotion.
Air Force deployment
Commemorate your servicemember's safe return with a custom deployment gift that acknowledges and honors the end of their tour.
Air Force retirement
Retirement is a little different in the military compared to civilian life. You could say it's less straightforward; the emotions more complicated. It marks a transition from military to civilian; a status change, from active duty to veteran. It is a deeply significant moment in a servicemember's life and career –– one that deserves only the best.
Air Force commissioning
Becoming commissioned as an officer in the United States Air Force is a big deal, marking a huge step forward in your career. It's worth celebrating! Mark this milestone in your journey to become the Airman you aim to be with a timeless woven throw you'll bring with you on that journey.
Air Force unit pride
Your unit is your team, your family, and the ones who always have your back. Celebrate the cohesion and morale of your unit with this custom gift that shows your unit pride!
Air Force PCS
PCSing is part of military life. Garrett had an amazingly diverse childhood with his Air Force family moving around from South Dakota to Kansas, Virginia to Japan, Hawaii and beyond. Every PCS is bittersweet: saying goodbye to the friends and colleagues at your old duty station, and looking forward to the next chapter at your new base. Mark your travels around the world as part of the US Air Force with a custom heirloom-quality blanket for each new location.
Honor Your Air Force Veteran
Maybe you missed out on all those gifting opportunities when they were happening. NOT TO WORRY my friend! You don't need an excuse to spoil your favorite veteran with a Custom Woven Blanket. Our heirloom-quality blankets are made from 100% cotton yarn, woven right here in America, and perfect for whatever stage of life your veteran is in and whatever they like to do, like:
- Picnicking with the kiddos -
- Hitting the lake or beach with friends -
- Keeping warm on hunting or camping trips and at the football stadium -
- Curling up with a good book or movie -
- Staying cozy during a hospital or nursing home stay -
Or even hanging it on the wall as sound-absorbing tapestry art!
We decided to create a custom blanket for each of our 5 duty stations, and on family movie night, our kids snuggle up with the blanket from the base they loved the most. It's become part of the family ritual, choosing who gets which blanket, and opens the door to a few minutes of reminiscing.
