A down throw blanket is an excellent gift idea for special occasions such as a house warming. Down throws come in many different colors, and often they are reversible with one color for the topside and another for the bottom side. A down throw blanket is also an excellent gift idea for seniors.

A down throw blanket is the same size as other throw blankets, but they are generally much warmer. The traditional 50” by 60” size is perfect for an average size individual to snuggle under when lying on a couch. They are also perfectly sized for draping around the shoulders of an average sized individual so they can walk around the home without tripping over the ends of the throw.

Down throws are excellent gifts for the elderly. Seniors have a tendency to get cold easier that others and the throw will keep them warm. Also, many seniors live in drafty old houses that they’ve had for years and sometimes those types of houses are extremely difficult to heat. Plus, on fixed budgets, many seniors can’t afford to have the heat turned up where they’d like to. So, the down throw blanket will help them save money and still feel nice and cozy.
