Blankees aren't just for babies anymore

A gift of a soft, luscious baby blanket is sheer delight for a wee one. Among our very favorites at Timeless Treasures is the My Blankee line of dot velour, which we have carried for years in colors from sage to butter to bright red, as well as classic baby pink and pale blue. It has become the baby gift of choice for lots of our customers. We've also heard several people remark that they wished we carried these cuddly blankets in sizes suitable for grown-ups.

Now we are thrilled to offer the very same blanket in a throw size (52 by 60), ideal for adults and kids to snuggle under as you read or watch TV. With the days so chilly and San Francisco houses so often drafty, we can't think of a better way to welcome the new year than to choose a favorite pattern from among leopard print, espresso or latte. Here are thumbnails to give you an idea of the colors we now have in stock.

We can also special order one for you in a variety of prints and solids.

If you aren't familiar with My Blankee, there are a few details that may interest you. The ultra-soft and luxurious blankets were created in 2002 by a textile industry executive, initially to accommodate the special needs of his baby son who had been born with a skin condition called eczema. Made from hypoallergenic and machine-washable fabrics, My Blankee products are manufactured in Los Angeles.
