The Magic Weighted Blanket

We have a winner in our Magic Weighted Blanket Giveaway!

This fantastic giveaway was courtesy of The Magic Weighted Blanket, who offered to give away one of their weighted blankets to a lucky SPDBN family.

And that lucky family is…

 

Amy B. from Pennsylvania!

We contacted Amy to let her know about her big win. She’s very excited because the blanket is for her daughter.  Amy writes “She attends OT and a OT/SPT therapy play group once a week.  She loves the feel of weighted blankets and even the weighted neck support.  I’m so excited we were selected and this will be awesome for our sensory diet!”

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

Remember, if you didn’t win you can still go to The Magic Weighted Blanket on Facebook, and to enter their Season’s Greetings drawing where they’ll be giving away a blanket a month!

Thank you to everyone who entered our giveaway!  And again thank you to Amanda G and family of Confessions From HoueholdSix for reviewing The Magic Weighted Blanket.
