I purchased the fancy Zambaiti throws for my grown children last year for Christmas. My grandson is now 1-1/2 and he loves that throw. Walks around with it saying "mine". My daughter takes it from him dragging it around so he will not destroy it. So, this year I find this Overstock offering. He will have his own throw to do with what he will. I know he'll love it. When he was at my house a month or so ago it was nap time and my son in law asked if I had a blanket. He assured me my grandson was not going to nap. I handed him my cashmere throw and he asked "are you sure?" I said absolutely. Needless to say, he napped. Kids like soft! This should work well and it is almost as nice as the fancy ones for a fraction of the cost.
