I have the 65″x50 “I Love You Mom” blanket. It’s super cute and warm and big enough to cover you from head to toes. Another awesome option is to have a customized fleece blanket where you can choose your text and even include pictures for a more personalized gift. It’s a gift for any occasion to treat mom with, and it’s only $40. Pick up your ButterTree Blankets on Amazon or the company website: http://www.buttertreeblankets.com
