Luna Lou Blankets Bring Back the World of Imagination

I recently got a new blankie in the mail that is so cute and unique that I don't want to let my kids have it. I want to keep it for myself. Bad Mama!

Remember the blankies we had as kids, the ones we dragged everywhere? They were warm but not too warm, soft but not too soft. Colorful but not too colorful. They had interesting textures and patterns but were also a blank canvas for your imagination, effortlessly becoming a fort for one, a magic carpet, a nest, or a hammock for your stuffed animals. They were made out of natural materials, in the classic ways. And they were the only blanket you'd want to take with you when you had your tonsils out.

Luna Lou blankets are those blankies! But hipper.

Since becoming an adult, I can't remember ever seeing a truly fashionable knit cotton blanket for kids. These pop-art tributes are just inspired. And besides that, these blankets are eco friendly. They are knit from soft but sturdy recycled cotton. They are thick enough to withstand a whole lotta loving, but not so thick that they would make your tot feel hot and itchy. The blankets have a patterned side with whimsical characters and quotes such as "Up all night, Silly all day" and "I Dream of Cupcakes" and they reverse to a multicolored side that is like static on your television- the perfect backdrop for a little daydream.

I just love their vibe. Cool but never pretentious. Which is a wonderful thing in a magic carpet/fort/blankie. Order your blanket before 7/15/07 and you'll receive a free book tote. No need to enter a coupon.
