Honoring Beth
ChappyWrap has always been about more than blankets — it’s about family, love, and comfort. At the heart of it all was our founder, Beth. Though she passed away in March 2025, her spirit inspires us every day as we celebrate her story, vision, and the lasting warmth she shared with so many.
Where It All Began
In 2006, Beth decided to turn a running family joke into a company. Her family had one beloved blanket that multiple generations fought over, and nothing else compared. They had long joked that someone needed to start a blanket business. With her entrepreneurial spirit and MBA in hand, she set out to create the perfect blanket - soft, durable and big enough to share.
She named the company after Chappaquiddick Island, rooting it in the coastal charm she loved. At small Boston markets and school fundraisers, Beth built ChappyWrap one blanket at a time. Soon, customers were lining up with gift lists in hand, and Beth knew she had created something that could truly bring families together.
A Family Business
When Christina joined her mom in 2018, ChappyWrap entered a new chapter. Together, they reimagined the brand - new designs, new sizes and a fresh way to share their story online. The work was tireless, scrappy and intense, but it was also a once in a lifetime gift: the chance for a mother and daughter to build a brand and tell a story together.
Beth was endlessly proud of that leap of faith. As ChappyWrap grew faster than she ever imagined, she always stayed grounded in what mattered most - personally calling customers, hand-delivering blankets, and making sure every interaction felt like home.
Beth's Legacy
Beth built a business on the belief that warmth and connection are essential parts of life. For nearly 20 years, her passion for caring for others has brought comfort to countless families through our blankets. Beth found her truest happiness in lifting others up. She loved spreading joy to others - through big acts, like creating a blanket company, and small ones, like collecting "lucky pennies" to share with those she loved.
Her legacy is more than a company. It’s every cozy moment made better by a ChappyWrap, every home touched by her vision, and every memory created under the comfort of her blankets.
Carrying It Forward
Today, ChappyWrap remains a family-run business, led by Christina and her husband, Drake. As partners in life and work, they are raising their children alongside the brand, balancing a growing family with a growing team and business, and the everyday joy and challenge of building something meaningful together.
With Beth’s values as their compass, Christina, Drake, and the entire ChappyWrap team continue to evolve the brand with intention through thoughtful design, elevated quality, and a deep commitment to connection. Every decision honors the foundation Beth built, while embracing the future with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and a shared belief that the comfort of our blankets brings people closer.
