Got this for a Christmas present for my mom. When she opened it, I actually got a verbal response out of her! She doesn't flip out over gifts usually. But she "ooed and awed" over this blanket and absolutely loved the softness, the feel of it and the thickness of the blanket. She especially liked that there are 2 different sides of the blanket so she can choose the smooth, luxurious colored side or the bumped but warm and comfortable sherpa side.
