I've bought these blankets for the past 3-4 years because we loved them. The material does tend to get balled up over time. So, I ordered more again this year. Well we just received them and they are thin compared to the previous years. Still very soft but so much more thin. My husband runs cold so it's good we ordered him two. I probably won't order again unless I can actually see them at my local store.

I just got this home and its shedding like crazy!!! There a little flecks of fuzzy gray fluff everywhere!! Its definitely soft, fuzzy and fluffy and feels great to the touch BUT its making a giant mess!!! I want to take it back but my sams club is a long way from my home. I'm very disappointed.

Sams changed the style of blanket, I had this saved in a wish list and Sams recently swapped the old style for this new, completely different one. Here's a link to the old one. The internet remembers. https://auctions.samsclub.com/catalog/product/view/id/32380

You can not give this as a gift if you order it online. It's just a folded, smashed blanket, packaged in a clear, scratched up plastic bag. "In-store" packaging is very nice. The throw is also very nice and cozy warm. So ... if you plan on giving this as a gift ... only buy it in the store.

I purchased the holiday variant with the trucks. Day of arrival, I ripped open the package and there before me was a super thick and plush blanket. My first thought was "OoooO yummy"! My second thought was "Is it gonna pill or shed"? So straight into the washer it went. Warm water on the medium load setting (my small load setting wasn't enough water to cover it), 1 tide pod and half a cup of scent beads and dried it like I do everything else and it came out of the dryer "PERFECT".  This is the best 15 bucks I've spent all year.  I was reluctant to buy this throw at first because I read Some reviews saying that fabric softener caused their blanket to become matted and hard.... I honestly don't think it's the fabric softener! I have a queen size blanket of the same material that came out matted in spots after I washed it. SO in comparing the 2? I think it's due to not having enough room in the washer. I had to stuff my queen in my washer and set it as a full load and there still wasn't enough water in it for it to swish like it should have. Whereas this blanket/throw with the cute lil trucks?  I set my washer on small and stood there watching (yes, top load machine) and then set it to a medium load so it would have enough water to swish. 

This is the best throw for the price I've ever seen...I purchased two for our den to store in baskets to use when needed (nap on the recliner/couch etc.) imagine my surprise when family members were soon fighting over them because they're really soft, warm and large enough to cover all of your body...no more exposed feet when pulling up the throw to cover your upper body. Warm and cozy is putting it mildly. We loved them so much we ordered two more online for other family members....but be aware the ones we received via online purchase did not come with the ribbon ties to roll up and store so if this is important to you to have those ties it's best if you go to your local store and pick them up so you can insure the ties are included with the throw. As an aside I ran into another shopper who had 4 of these throws in her basket ( I went back to the store to exchange my throws for ones with ties) and she said this was her third visit to purchase more throws as gifts because so many family members fell in love with hers when they visited. I hope this information helps other shoppers..enjoy!

I’ve bought these blankets for the last 3 years. My first purchase I couldn’t believe how warm and soft they were! After washing them several times I’m quite impressed on how they’ve held up. The following year I bought them as gifts and people ranted about them. My 2 year old blankets are still in great condition but I’ve changed up the colors a bit so I’ve purchased a few new ones. I’ve just washed them one last time, I’ve passed some (real) homeless people and temperatures have been in the 30s at night so I’m gonna find a few to keep warm with them.

I’m waiting to be arrested because these blankets are a steal. I purchased one for the dog so she can be comfortable on long rides to the cabin and ended up buying one for each family member because they are so soft and comfortable. For the price you can’t go wrong. Great gift for everyone on your list.

I love this throw! It is the most comfortable, cozy, warm throw I've ever owned. Mine is the pencil paisley, a red paisley on one side, and tan on the other. It's also lovely! It's considered oversized, so it covers quite well. I have fallen asleep under this thing several times!

First, I should stress the word “oversized.” We have purchased a number of throws over the years. None were big enough to cover both feet and upper torso. This one is definitely large enough (unless you are really tall). It is also comfortable, soft and warming...really what we were looking for. We bought one to see if was what we wanted and when confirmed, we purchased a second one. We highly recommend this item.
