<p><strong>Bearaby's Weighted Blanket for Kids is made with nothing but layer upon layer of soft, organic cotton.</strong></p>
<p>Highly breathable, wonderfully cozy, and utterly calming.<br />
Let's look at how the sleep-loving, kid hugging weighted blanket for kids, the Nappling can help your child:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Better sleep</strong>: If your child has trouble calming down at nap or bedtime, a Nappling could be just what they need. Weighted blankets provide a natural, soothing tool to help kids settle to sleep easier and bring about deeper, better sleep.</li>
<li><strong>Better focus:</strong> A child who is well-rested finds it easier to stay on-task. A weighted blanket can help kids stay focused, which helps them flourish in their academic and social development.</li>
<li><strong>Calmer hearts, minds, and bodies:</strong> A weighted blanket can help ease child anxiety. It's a simple, drug-free method that calms a child's anxious thoughts, feelings, and that growing little body.</li>
<li><strong>Treats symptoms of autism and ADHD:</strong> Weighted blankets can help children (and adults) with autism or ADHD cope with symptoms of sensory overload and hyperactivity.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why We Love It</strong>: We love this gift because, during times of grief or anxiety, a weighted blanket can provide a biological cue for children to relax. The feeling of a weighted blanket "hug" signals to the brain that it's time to quiet their thoughts and slide into sleep - making it a fantastic gift to parents with children of any age.</p>
<p><strong>What To Express In Your Card:</strong> I know how stressful things have been for you and the little one(s). I hope this blanket offers them some solace during times of stress. Please, call me if you need anything else - I love you!</p>


Bearaby: Weighted Blanket for Kids - The Nappling

<p><strong>Bearaby’s Weighted Blanket for Kids is made with nothing but layer upon layer of soft, organic cotton.</strong></p>


Bearaby

<p><strong>Bearaby's Cotton Napper is a buttery soft, breathable, knitted weighted blanket made from long-staple certified organic cotton - helping you sleep more deeply and wake feeling rested and revitalized.</strong></p>
<p>Ideal for all seasons, weighted blankets have been medically proven to aid naturally deeper sleep cycles. The weight on your body stimulates the production of serotonin (the happy hormone), reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and increases melatonin, which helps you fall (and stay) asleep.</p>
<p>Plus, Bearaby weighted blankets use nothing but layer upon layer of natural, breathable, great-feeling fabric and an open-loop knit design to bring you the best knitted weighted blanket for blissfully deep sleep -- so you'll wake up feeling cool, calm, and collected.</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift:</strong> During times of grief or anxiety, a weighted blanket can provide a biological cue to relax. The feeling of a weighted blanket "hug" signals to the brain that it's time to quiet our thoughts and slide into sleep. We love this gift because it can provide soothing comfort to those who feel alone or distressed - especially during times when you are unable to be by the side of a grieving loved one.</p>
<p><strong>What To Express In Your Card:</strong> I want to give you a hug so badly. In the meantime, I hope this blanket offers some comfort. I love you.</p>

<p>What is the best gift anytime? A Target eGift Card. With no fees and no expiration dates, the real question is: who couldn't use a gift card from Target?</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift: </strong>Whether as a baby gift or to replenish supplies around the house, to cheer up a sick kid, or help someone with prescription costs, you can almost always find exactly what you need at Target. We love this gift because it enables your recipient with endless options and the ability to purchase precisely what they need - no questions asked.</p>
<p><strong>What To Say In Your Card:</strong> I thought this might come in handy. I am sending you so much love!</p>


Target

Target - Target Gift Card

<p>This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift:</strong> We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.</p>
<p><strong>What To Express in Your Card:</strong> You'd do exactly the same. xo</p>

<p>Give the gift of doing with a Home Depot Gift Card. They are ideal for any occasion.</p>
<p>For those who have lost homes because of natural disasters or an elderly person you love in need of a home renovation (a ramp), a Home Depot Gift Card says a great deal. You can use it to budget project expenses and easily track your purchases online.</p>
<p><strong>Why We Love This Gift:</strong> Houses are always in need of a little repair. This is an excellent gift for returning servicemen and women as home repairs can be necessary and/or therapeutic to varying degrees. For people trying to extend the independent living of their aging loved one, little things around the house make a difference. Things like rails near the toilet, a ramp, and similar house renovations can make a big difference. People recovering from stroke often need bathrooms and stairs to be retrofitted to help them in their long-term recovery or rehabilitation. For a family with a newly-mobile toddler, installing a gate or bolting a bookshelf to the wall are both helpful beyond measure. The possibilities are endless.</p>
<p><strong>What To Express in Your Card:</strong> How can I be most helpful?</p>
