As a mother of 3 boys finding quality products and making them last is a must. I bought my first Gymboree blanket 8 years ago and loved it. They became a favorite gift to give to expecting moms right away. About 4 years ago something happened to the quality of the material they were using to make blankets and for some reason only the blankets that are white in color still measure up to my expectations. I have tried different colors, patterns and seasons and come to only trust and stand by the Gymboree blankets that are white on at least one side.
