Two of my friends recommended this site to me as I was looking to purchase a blanket as a gift for an elderly relative. I was expecting great things based on their recommendations but the blanket is even more beautiful in person. It’s soft and very high quality. My only regret is I didn’t purchase one for myself at the same time. It appears to be a very popular blanket as they are now sold out in the one I want, and I can see why. I will be checking back so I can grab myself one. If you a buying this as a gift don’t make the mistake I did, buy two! You won’t want to give it away.
