Daytime Stars Wrap Themselves Up With a Hot New Product

TreasureKnit Photo Blankets a Big Hit in Celebrity Gift Bags at 2006 Daytime Emmy(R) Awards

LOS ANGELES, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- This year at the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, one unique gift made its mark with celebrity co-hosts and presenters, such as Kelly Monaco, Jack Wagner and Lisa Rinna. Out of a gift bag worth nearly $40,000, the TreasureKnit Photo Blanket was one of the hottest items. TreasureKnit.com weaves any photographic image into a beautiful luxurious Photo Blanket, thanks to the latest innovative technology.

The product made such a lasting impression that a TreasureKnit Photo Blanket, personalized with a photo of Barbara Walters and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, was featured on the May 1st broadcast of ABC's The View.

Co-host Hasselbeck urged Walters to keep the gift and jokingly remarked, "... you need to keep it (your blanket) so that someone you don't know isn't wrapping themselves with you." Hasselbeck went on to add, "There I am, sleeping with Barbara," referring to Walters who had wrapped herself up with her TreasureKnit Photo Blanket on the show.

Woven images of the stars or pictures of their loved ones gave this year's gift bags a more personal touch. "We are proud to be chosen as one of the participants of the official gift bags at the 2006 Daytime Emmy Awards. Stars will be able to keep these blankets for years to come. Because their photographs are knit into the blanket, rather than silk-screened or printed, the images will stay intact wash after wash and will never fade or run," said Richard Nadel, representative of TreasureKnit.com.

Machine washable TreasureKnit Photo Blankets are made from 100 percent hypoallergenic soft yarn and feature one-of-a-kind beautiful fringes for an extra snuggly feel.

"People respond so positively to our blankets because they are such a personal keepsake -- almost like a modern day equivalent to a quilt. It's a terrific way to keep a favorite photo forever," Nadel added. "These blankets become a cherished family treasure that can be passed on from generation to generation."
