If you don't have this blanket yet, my question is…why not? As someone who is chronically ill and knows her way around comfort items, let me tell you, this is the best gift you could buy for anyone who can be confined for days. This blanket is the softest, kinda silky soft feeling with the heat geared toward the higher end. On a really cold night, I might get crazy and then the temperature up to 2. Be warned…your little Velcro dogs will love it too. If they start panting….that's why. Anyway, it's like wrapping yourself in a cloud. You NEED this blanket!!! One for you and one as a gift. It will be their FAVORITE gift!!!
