I purchased 2 of these for my parents who are 85 and 90 years old. When they opened the package and felt the velvety throw, they acted like little kids again. I commented that I liked the throw very much and my mother surprised me with a early birthday gift by way of the LDS Bookstore. My Words of Faith throw is on the top shelf and when I need some inspiration or warmth, I take it down and wrap myself in it. It's luxurious to the touch and you'll never get tired of touching it.
