Christmas in the air @ DenaliBlankets.com

Less than 3 months away!!!

Denali Blankets is gearing up for the holidays.  The countdown is on with less than 3 months to get your gifts purchased wrapped and under the tree.  The big holiday of the year is meant to be beautiful, joyous, full of family and the season of giving and appreciation.  All to often, the spirit of Christmas is overrun with stress and the overwhelming pressure of trying to pick the perfect present for the ones you love.

This year, we at Denali Blankets, want you to relax, kick back and enjoy this wonderful season.  We have made it easy for you to give those you love a gift they will love forever.  Give your friends and family the warmth of a Denali throw.  This gift will remind them of your love every time they bundle up under the softness of the double thick fleece.  With many beautiful prints to choose from, it will be easy to find just the right pattern for everyone on your list.  We are offering our new kids sizes this year.  No more toys that only get used once or twice and then put to the side.  These blankets will get used everyday and will soon become the favorite item in the house.

Denali Blankets are made in the USA.  They are double thickness fleece, made from high quality fabric and are machine washable.  Te more you use them the softer they get.  Unlike other fleece blankets, Denali’s do not peel or pile.  They can be washed again and again, and come out looking great each time.

Give a Denali blanket this year to those you love and you will be loved forever.

Breast Cancer Awareness – UniqueLinensOnline.com

I will never forget the day my mother called to let me know she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.  I see my surroundings, I hear my mothers voice and I see myself sitting on my kitchen floor trying to process the information my mother was giving me.  It seems so long ago but yet only yesterday.

My mother was 61 years old when she was diagnosed in January of 1991.  She went through chemo and radiation treatments and lived in remission long enough to do some of the things she most enjoyed in life.  She was able to travel to see each of her eight children, making sure they were all OK, almost as if she knew she hadn’t much time.  And she didn’t.  Mom passed away in November from the cancer she had been diagnosed with just 10 months earlier.

My mother called me in late October and told me how tired she was.  I knew then that her fight was coming to an end.  She had battled hard, faced the demon head on and gave it all she got.  She was brave, courageous, humorous, humbled and strong to the end.  As her final days approached, Dad called his eight children to let us know it was time to come home.  Several of us made it the day before she passed away and mom was in and out of consciousness.  As I sat with a couple of my siblings beside my mothers’ bed, mom woke up, looked at her children and said, “you silly kids, why are you all here.”  Hanging on to her sense of humor to the very end, these were the last words I heard her say.  The next day she passed away, surrounded by family.  Every single day I miss her.

The pink ribbon of hope has been forever present in my life from that day on.  I have worn it to honor my mother, celebrate my sister’s triumph as a survivor and remember far to many to name.  It is a symbol instantly recognized by millions across the world.  It signifies the very core belief of all humans, the one thing that we all possess and have in common, the one thing that continues to drive us forward when faced with immense adversity….HOPE!

We are proud to introduce the newest collection from Denali Throws.  Two blankets both adorning this magnificent symbol.  The Pink Ribbon series would make a wonderful gift to someone who is fighting the fight, celebrating the victory or as a thank you for the ever tireless caregiver.  The blanket will wrap them in love as they face their battle, remind them of their valiant fight or provide the warmth of a friends love when wrapped around their shoulders.  Give those you love a gift of warmth and they will always be wrapped securely in your support.

To all of those fighting, keep going, face it bravely, you are amazing.  To those we have lost, we miss you, honor you, humbled by your spirit.

Camping Blankets: Lions, Tigers and Bears, Oh MY

Unique Linens Online:  I have skipped around the house of my childhood singing, Lions and Tigers and Bears countless times.  It is a tune that sticks in your head and a saying that gets used time and time again for a variety of reasons.  This famous line from the classic movie Wizard of Oz, has been a favorite of mine.

This line, along with “No Bears are Out Tonight”, reminds of wonderful summer evenings at my parents home in Idaho.  These were sayings we would yell out, while running around the outside of the house, waiting for the person to jump out and catch us.  Once caught, we became the ferocious beast waiting for our prey to round the corner.  Games of the dark, in the coolness of the Idaho evenings, were usually a prequel to sleeping outside under the big star filled sky.

I have had a great opportunity this past week to watch my 8 and 10 year old bask in the glorious days of summer.  They have had friends over, played in the river, built campfires, told ghost stories, roasted hot dogs, made s’mores and slept outside for a week straight.  Their once pastie Oregon skin, now has a golden brown tint and just about every limb has bug bites, scrapes and bruises, signs of successful, fun-filled days.

Bunkhouse Plaid Denali Blanket

As I sent the kids outside to sleep on the trampoline, I made sure that they had the trusty dog to sleep by their sides to protect them from the creatures of the night.  I also made sure they each had their Denali blanket from www.uniquelinensonline.com to take with them.  My sons friend, who is also ten, reassured me that he did not need a blanket because he was a “man” and could handle the cold.

Denali Cashew Plaid

I reassured him that I was a mom and I knew better…..he took the blanket.  As it turned out, he was more of a man than I thought.  The blanket was near him, but not on him.  He stayed true to his claim but honored me by having it near by, just in case.

The Denali blankets are a must have for summer fun.  They are plush, soft and so cozy.  The best feature is how well they wash up.  Machine wash and tumble dry and your blanket comes out looking wonderful, ready for the next summer adventure.

Denali Bear Boogie

My kids tote them all over the place, from sleep overs, to boating to camping.  Denali blankets have become the one necessity that always gets packed.

Summer is almost over, the kids will go back to school, and the fun-filled days will be busy with learning, reading and writing once more.  Take the next month to watch your kids have fun.  Take the next month to do something fun with them.  Chase them around the house, yelling Lions and Tigers and Bears, OH MY!!!  Then send them out under the star filled sky with their favorite blanket, so their days of summer will become memories for a lifetime.
