One doesn’t truly appreciate a good blanket until they’ve spent two hours outside on a sub-60 degree 4th of July night, with a three year old who absolutely refuses to go in, because he’s positive more fireworks will be set off. I would’ve paid triple for one of these $57, Canadian-made, heavyweight cotton-poly fleece Foreign Rider Co. Beresford Blankets. But instead, I was stuck with some cheap Target blanket my mother-in-law brought that not only didn’t keep me warm, it also totally ruined my stylish-yet-comfortable aesthetic. Going forward, I’ll definitely be keeping a few of these on-hand at all times.
