Pretty Rugged Blanket
What's to love: Like the name says, this blanket is pretty and rugged with soft faux fur on one side and what the company calls RuggedTex nylon on the other, making it windproof and waterproof.
What does it do: Spring weather in Arkansas is unpredictable and these blankets just might make watching a damp, chilly morning soccer practice or an evening boat ride on the lake more pleasant. The 55-by-70-inch blankets are machine washable, monogrammable and have a waterproof corner pocket. They come in a waterproof duffle bag with a carrying strap. The blankets are available in several colors and patterns and sell for $290. Visit prettyruggedshop.com for more information.
