<h3 class="h4">WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF</h3>
Once upon a time, a young artist had a magical pillowcase that was a window into a world of castles, unicorns, princesses, and knights. But this world was completely black and white, with no joyful colors to be found. So the artist, equipped with 10 markers, gave the unicorn green fur, the castle pink stone, and every other creature and object a brilliant hue of its own. And on the other side of the pillowcase, the artist wrote down wondrous stories of this fantasy land. Then, one day, it was washed and all the color faded away. But that didn't bother the artist--quite the opposite, in fact. For the artist knew they could color in the world again and again. The artist uncapped a marker and got to work...and lived happily ever after. Made in Turkey.

Let's look at how the sleep-loving, kid hugging weighted blanket for kids, the Nappling can help your child:

<li>Calmer hearts, minds, and bodies: 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>Treats symptoms of autism and ADHD: Weighted blankets can help children (and adults) with autism or ADHD cope with symptoms of sensory overload and hyperactivity.</li>
</ul>
Why We Love It: 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.
What To Express In Your Card: 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!

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.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: 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.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo

They are also among the first things people slash from tight budgets. Help them put it back. This gift is suitable for anyone to whom you want to express concern, consideration, or love. Also, here is a hot tip: teenagers love Starbucks. It is a great gift for a teenager.
What to Express in Your Card: I was just thinking about you as you grapple with recent events. I hope you will take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee - I know you are a latte fan.
