Last fall while I was shopping at Costco, some blankets caught my eye. I bought one for $20, and loved it so much that I sent my husband back as soon as he could go to get three more. And just last week, I finally spotted them back in store — so if you’re looking for a cozy, soft blanket to use anywhere in your home, you’ll want to get the Pendleton Ultra Soft Plush Throw.
What Is the Pendleton Ultra Soft Plush Throw?
Everything about the Pendleton Ultra Soft Plush Throw embodies my blanket ideal. It’s light enough that it’s easy to lift and toss around, but it isn’t flimsy. It’s also heavy enough to offer just enough weight to make you feel tucked-in and cozy. At the same time, the blanket is thin enough that you’re not going to overheat (even if you’re sitting by the fireplace), but substantial enough to keep you warm if you’re cold.
The blanket also has such a nice, soft, fluffy feel. It’s silky yet furry, and the fleece has never gotten stiff or matted (unlike many other similar blankets I’ve had in the past). Even after many washes (nearly weekly, because the dogs love them too), the blankets still look and feel as good as they did the day I bought them.
I also fell in love with the colorful stripes on the Pendleton blankets I got last year. They’re almost a rainbow — just the pop of fun color that was needed in the room where I keep them. (Plus they echo the rainbow-ordered bookshelves on the far end of the room, tying the room together.) If you prefer more muted tones or a different design, you’re in luck — because the blankets I saw at Costco this year were a muted tan and blue design.
Why the Pendleton Ultra Soft Plush Throw Makes Such a Great Gift
Everyone who comes to our house loves these blankets. They’ve wrapped many teens and kids (and our dogs!) in their comforting softness. I didn’t think of it last year, but now that I know about these cozy treasures, I plan to buy them as gifts. They’re affordable, beautiful, and high-quality, so I know they’ll be appreciated and enjoyed. In fact, I plan to “gift” our own family with more of these beloved blankets, so we can cuddle up in them all over the house.
