When it comes to gifts, it's always the thought that counts.

Take 17-year-old Alyson Alfaro, for example, whose seemingly outlandish gift from her boyfriend turned out to be exactly what she wanted.

Alfaro and her boyfriend, Exavier don't get to see each other often because they live three hours apart, she explained to Buzzfed News. One day, after six months of dating, Alfaro told Exavier that she was cold, and wished he could be there to keep her warm.

That's when the dutiful boyfriend came up with a very unique gift idea: a blanket with his face on it.

Alfaro thought the gift was absolutely perfect, and thousands of people Twitter agreed.

Beyond the many inquiries about where the blanket was from (collage.com), users were overwhelming in their support for the remarkable gift.

While Alfaro is stunned by her tweet's success, she told Buzzfeed she's thrilled that, “a tweet about me loving and being obsessed with my boyfriend is what’s getting attention."

Fellow people in relationships: looks like we're all getting blankets for Christmas this year.

Mashable has reached out to Alfaro for comment.
