If these smiling, happy faces don’t put a grin on your face, the touching story behind Happy Blankie definitely will! These adorable, oh-so-cuddly blankets from Happy Blankie are sure to make anyone feel loved. Created by CHO (Chief Happiness Officer) David Holdridge at the tender age of 9, Happy Blankies were born out of his younger sisters’ love of both blankets and stuffed animals. David knew that there must be children all over the world who would love a comforting object to help them feel safe and happy, just like his sister, especially little ones without a mommy or daddy.

Happy Blankie’s ONE To Love ONE To Give mission inspires us all to share – a valuable lesson brought to life by David. For each special blanket purchased for someone you love, whether it be a new baby, a favorite niece or your own son or daughter, Happy Blankie will give the same blanket to a child in need. Each blankie arrives with a “giving is cool” tag, with instructions on how to donate a second blanket. This is one gift you can feel GREAT giving! Each Happy Blankie costs an affordable $29, a small price to pay to put a big smile on the face of more than one child! For more information about this remarkable new company, visit HappyBlankie.com.
