Reddit mentions: The best bed throws

For some reason this didn't show up the first time I posted, so sorry if it shows up twice :-)

1

2 (Snow is kind of reminiscent of rain)

3 (food related because I would serve hot meals on it; unusual because it is multifunctional)

4 is for my two year old daughter because she has the normal version, but loves it so much (probably her favorite thing) that it is now in three pieces with the cover off and losing pages every day, but this one has a carry handle and is smaller for toddlers and easier to carry around.

5 You need to read it because I've been told I need to read it.

6

7 because Catwoman

8 The picture of beauty! :-)

9 Because it's a classic. . . it's sweet, has adventure, and teamwork. . . dinosaurs.

10 because it's a sword that I will always have with me because it's a keychain

11 I'm on my 4th week of P90x, and I hate yoga day because I can't do all the moves, so I don't have the desire to do it, but this would help on moves where I am not as flexible.

12 I want these so I can make necklaces with them.

13 Because it has a swingset and a playhouse and my daughter (and when he's older, my son too) would love this, and I love them very much. So seeing them happy makes me happy :-).

14

15 seeds are much smaller than golfballs

16 Nothing smells as good as a freshly bathed baby :-)

17

18 I could practice my letters and spelling (as long as each letter was only used once) :-)

19 My current obsession is being a mom! All of my other obsessions are geeky stuff, so this is perfect!

20 I know this really needs no explanation as to why it is so grand and awe-inspiring, but here are 10 good reasons. . . First of all, it's huge because it's a rug. Second of all, it is from one of the greatest movies of all time, Star Wars Episode V. Third, it looks sooooo soft (it's so fluffy, I'm going to die). Fourth, how many people do you know who have this in their home? Fifth, it has claws. Sixth, it's smiling. Seventh, you could hide under it during a home invasion. Eighth, you could cover up with it if your power went out in a snowstorm. Ninth, (since you love cats) I bet cats love laying on a wampa rug. Finally tenth, it would be the perfect addition to this boy's nursery (I've shown this picture a lot on RAoA, but I can't help it. He's too cute!)

Bonus Item 1 will be PMd to you when I found out your real name, not if but when :-)

Bonus Item 2 Looks yummy!

fear cuts deeper than swords

This was super fun by the way! Thanks!

-Don't buy a tent or backpack right now. You're on the east cost so you should have REI, EMS, and maybe some other outfitters too. Not only because you can try out different kinds, but also because hardly anyone really needs a backpacking backpack and they tend to be 200$ spacefillers in your closet. Buying a tent will likely be useful down the road but being able to rent a backpacking one vs a car camping one will keep quality up and costs down and be way more convenient at this point. Also, borrowing gear for trips is very much accepted as part of the culture. Also, to your point of camping places you can fly to, if it's in Can/US/Europe, I'd recommend using the rental option even more strongly. (Though if you don't hike more than 5 miles or so a day, travel a lot, and don't have to have a backpacking backpack, the Osprey Farpoint 55 or 70 may be the last travel bag of any kind you'll ever buy. I LOVE this thing and have taken it on trips all over.)

-One extra thought re tents: KNOW HOW TO SET IT UP. 80% is self explanatory, but knowing where on the ground to set it up, and how to use the rain fly / guy lines can be the difference between you being dry in a surprise rain and being cold, wet, miserable, and you (or your s.o.) not wanting to camp again. Youtube and your outfitter store employees are actually excellent resources for this.

-Furthering that line of thought, rent this season, then troll craigslist and other local for sale apps (like Letgo, Offerup and Ebay) for what you know by then demonstrably works for you at the end of the season.

-Buying a sleeping bag is a good idea though. The rule of thumb is the degree rating is the temp at which you won't freeze to death, so add about 20-30 degrees for comfy sleeping. But you can save some money and add versatility if you also bring a packable down blanket or a sleeping bag liner (those are the ones I use). Because you're looking for value over total quality, you won't need something that extra 10-15% of size difference, and because rain will screw you up less, I'd probably recommend a polyester bag. (Down tends to me more expensive and you're SOL when it gets wet. People pay more because down bags tend to be warmer for the weight and space, and they're generally better for the environment.)

-I'd also recommend getting a sleeping pad, and generally rec air mattresses of at least 2.5" for side sleepers. (I got a couple Big Agnes Air Core Ultra Insulated ones on offerup for cheap and think they work great.) For car camping you can just get a Coleman air mattress from Target etc, but TRY IT OUT BEFORE YOU GO EVERY TIME because they tend not to last very long...I don't think I've ever had an air mattress last more than about 4 trips without starting the slow leak of death march.

-A 4 person tent is overkill and you would never want to bring that on a backpacking trip. If you do backpacking and want some room, a good two person tent (I use Big Agnes Copper Spur HV2 for backpacking, and an Alps Mountaineering 3 person for car camping, which is huge by comparison).

-Overgeneralization, but generally speaking budget tents and sleeping bags are garbage. I tend to buy used "bombproof" gear from people who realize they don't like camping after they buy the bombproof gear (or when they decide to upgrade). Again, reselling camp gear is very much a-ok with the camp culture. On VALUE vs Price, some companies have amazing guarantees and will repair / replace your gear at no cost forever. (Some brands are Patagonia, Osprey, Darn Tough socks, all of which are companies who make amazing products.)

-I'd also say you don't need a cast iron pan for camping except for the aesthetic. any pan will do, and a cast iron just adds weight and inconvenience (unless you're really handy with a cast iron). One thing I do recommend having though is a couple good sized dry bags. Not only because of their intended use, but because they also double as a scullery bin for washing dishes (turn it inside out though so you can later wash off the oils etc after you're done washing the dishes and pots and turn the bag right side out again).

Hope this helps. Good luck on your adventures!

PS and in re New England adventures, you cannot go wrong with spending 4 nights in Acadia NP / Bar Harbor ME.

Not entering this contest but I still want to add my suggestions for your birthday gift.

It's all about atmosphere and ambiance. Creating a serene environment conducive to relaxation and reflection. It seems that you are a working mom, a wife and probably wear many more stressful hats in your life. That being said, picture this: dinner is cooked, little one's in bed the house is quiet and there you are in your favorite cozy spot wrapped with this Purple Plush Throw. Your cozy spot is lined with this super duper massage cushion and your feet resting on this shiatsu massager encased in these fluffy purple socks. On a nearby table you have the soothing aromatic scent of lavender emitting from this diffuser. Relaxed and soothed you find that you are a bit restless despite all your efforts, so out comes the coloring book. Using your 50 count pack of colors you sit and color for a while in blissful peace. Unwinding for a few moments and allowing the hustle and bustle of the day to pass away. Maybe you even indulge a bit with a cup of tea as you nosh on these delicious butter cookies. After your relaxing massages, your coloring session and bedtime snack, it is time to slip off to bed.

This is what I would give to you: the gift of moments spent each day exclusively designed to recharge, relax and refocus before the new day dawns. The day dawns and you are refreshed and ready to tackle all that may come.

I would not recommend this. choices differ between if you are backpacking/hiking to a camp or just driving in/car camping. Gear can be expensive or reasonable but If you are just starting out, I would not recommend buying expensive gear before you know what provides you value. Everyone's different so some questions only you will be able to answer once you go a few times. I would recommend going conservative on cost to start out until you know what you prefer (Checking out other peoples gear on camping trips/ REI browsing sessions are a gold mine)

​

Sleeping Bag depending on what the night time low temps are (based mostly on how high the elevation youre going to be sleeping at this time of year) you don't need a sleeping bag, I would instead recommend a light packable down quilt like the one from Costco or This cost: $20-$40

​

​

I personally use the Klymit Static V, You can get them refurbished for very little on Amazon/Ebay

​

Tent Lots of options here, a few of them good for a low price. Decision is if you're going to be going solo or taking company (Size) and again how light you want to go on the weight. Freestanding tents generally provide more shelter but can be hotter in the summer and generally heavier. Some people choose only a light tarp setup for ultralight backpacking. its a personal choice but I would definitely take some time to think what suits your need on this. A few options.

​

For the tent I would recommend spending a little more if you are strictly buying for car camping, itll have more longevity and youll be using it for a few years. This is my car camping tent. $260

I would highly recommend investing in some permethrin/bug spray, a good hat and a Head Net to go along with it.

​

Happy trails.

I see you like Harry Potter. I am a fan of this throw. Or you could get the Marauder's Map! This is also really cool. You need.

I love Harry Potter collectibles. I'm in the process of acquiring all the Horcruxes right now.

If I win I really need a new pillow. It's $1.50 over, so a giftcard towards it would be amazing.

Thank you for the contest and I hope you feel better soon!

Also I just saw you're from Michigan as well! Rad. Are you thinking of going to the meet-up?

It really depends on how much you want to spend I think, but as a Sailor Moon fan myself, here's what I would want:

• Sailor Moon Group Throw Blanket - $30.00
  
  
• Sailor Moon R "Cutie Moon Rod" Proplica - $84.00
  
  
• Sailor Moon Crystal Brooch $50.00
  
  
• Her favorite character figure.
  
  
• Sailor Moon Mini Coffee Mug - $12.00
  
  
• Sailor Moon Coffee Mug - Starbucks Logo Style - $20.00
  
  Now this one is pretty unique and custom and would be a pretty cool gift too, a "Name" painted as Sailor Moon Characters.

The Tardis makes me really happy. I also really love fleece blankets. I ain't birthed no babies!

Also. [Happy Birfday.] (http://www.amazon.com/Across-the-Universe-ebook/dp/B00475ARSO/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1376882087&sr=1-1&keywords=across+the+universe) I'm reading the third in the series right now and they're awesome. The website is also really bad ass.

Congrats on being an Aunt! I like the name, it's pretty. Have a great birthday!

Multiple options in different price ranges:

• Puppy pads - Cheap, disposable but can feel like laying on a diaper and may not cover a big enough area depending on what you are doing.
  
  
• Liberator throw - Has dual sided design. One side is satin the other is microfiber. About 100$. Some complaints of "zero abzorption".
  
  
• No more wetspots - We own this. It has dual sided absorption and is basically 2 "shammy" (microfiber) clothes fused together to a waterproof (non crinkly) liner. Basically liquids from one side won't leak to the other so it can be used quite a bit. My SO is a squirter and we are swingers so we needed a towel that would last. This blanket is GREAT and has lasted through multiple washings / drying (on low) so far. Highly, HIGHLY recommend it. I would get the red and black one. Nice for more "darker" stains if that happens.
  
  Mattress protectors may not have the absorption you want. And then you have to take it off after every "play session." A bigger "blanket" style will be easier to just grab and throw it down as needed.

Get some curtains

Maybe reconsider the chalk board wall in the bedroom. It's not a huge space and the black wall could make things a little darker/more cramped. Or maybe just do a portion of it. Also think it might clash with the light wood of the storage unit.

You could get some of those plants that are in pots but kind of hang down a bit for the top area you have if you weren't going to use it for storage. Like these Plants make a space feel more welcome.

Get interesting bedding since it's the focus point of the room. I assume you're a guy from your username so it doesn't have to be anything too extravagant, just some well made bedding maybe in a rich color. Could add an interesting blanket at the end of the bed- assuming you like lotr, this one is kind of cool


Could get a bookcase for the wall the picture is leaning against- lots of ways to decorate those plus storage.

Duh! Who doesn't!?

OK, NSFW: Most of it. Haha! Huge thing for Garterbelts and stockings! Seriously! LOVE THEM! Especially this one, this one, or this one. I have to get this for my GF. Looks like fun. Also, the classic school girls outfit is never a bad choice! Special mention for the tail and kitten outfit! HOT!!

Doctor Who: I love the Van Gogh beach towel and throw! Then of course theres the Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee, Long sleve Tee, Hoodie, bath robe, Hat, and scarf.

But my FAVOURITE thing in the list is THIS! I want this so bad! Must try and find it on the UK Amazon!

Doctor Who Van Gogh Blanket

This isn't $50 but I thought you might like it. Doctor Who Van Gogh Messenger Bag

If I win I would like Doctor Who Weeping Angel

Dang girl have fun spending that money! Thanks for the contest :)

Wow that's a really light fleece blanket. When you get it yourself, weigh it and do a write up if you like it. Seems like a good value.


That being said, in a hammock (from my experience, yours could differ), bottom insulation is more important than insulation on top. I think it'd be worth considering a switch-a-roo: bring the 20 degree UQ and ditch the top quilt for the fleece in warm weather like you're describing. Just a thought!

I have one of these. It's 188x130cm, but they don't mention the size on the Amazon page. You can see it on the maker's page though.

It works great. I have a top sheet, then the electric blanket, then a futon on top of that. I turn it on mid-high about an hour before getting into bed and the bed is super warm when I get in. I change it to a low-mid setting and stay toasty warm all night.

Morthy's Demands:

Old Posh Englishmen love their tea! (on the Unsorted wishlist)

I'd probably self-conscious but force myself to wear this. I can't deny my love of kawaiisugoidokidoki any longer. (Under Unsorted list)

I think this looks more like a [sex toy](http://www.amazon.com/Bed-Head-BH320-Ceramic- Styling/dp/B0092MCQZ4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2BN02OVKX5FBY&coliid=I2GB3XZY9AE4M1) but it's the only sexual looking thing on any of my wishlists. (Under Beauty Products)

Akeleie's Demands:

My most geeky item. (Under Harry Potter but I would never dream of anyone buying this hahaha)

I'm in the midst of cleaning out my room and learning to organize, so this earring hanger would be awesome to achieve my goal of cleanliness! (Under Unsorted)

I'd need this for a deserted island so I could transform into a magical girl and escape. (Under Anime)

1. This blanket because I'm a tiny bit obsessed with Harry Potter.
   
   
2. This scale because it gives a lot more information than just weight which is more helpful in the weightless process. It would be helpful to know how my body fat/muscle/water weight/etc. is being impacted when my weight doesn't seem to be moving the way I'd like.
   
   
3. This artwork because I'm also a little obsessed with The Legend of Zelda.
   
   
4. This dress because it's perfect for valentine's day.
   
   
5. This because it looks cute and comfy.
   
   Your boss sounds great, and you do too. Thanks for hosting this :)

I'm kind of in the same boat as you are. Started backpacking maybe about 2 months ago and had a ton of old gear. Carrying 35 lbs over 26 miles was no fun, and when I came back home to research lighter stuff I kept finding things that were hundreds of dollars a piece. I did a ton of research and found some good quality gear at a budget level.

*note I sleep warm and wear layers. I found the quilt to be good for 3 season camping in the temperate CA conditions. The pad helps with the cold and I'm a side sleeper so the pad is a requirement for me. YMMV.

Poles - $22 (needed for the tent listed above) - BAFX Products - 2 Pack - Anti Shock Hiking / Walking / Trekking Trail Poles - 1 Pair, Blue, Royal Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007YT854S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sI-PBb1S6HSMG

I cook simple meals that mostly require just boiling water. It's also large enough to fit my soap, stove, and gas can in.

Stove - $14 - Etekcity Ultralight Portable Outdoor Backpacking Camping Stove with Piezo Ignition https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B4FY8YO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dM-PBb3M334JD

Filter - $37 - Sawyer Products SP137 PointOne Squeeze Water Filter System with 16-Ounce Pouch, Straw, and Hydration Pack Adapters https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WG9AFW6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1P-PBbX4F8JW4

Filter attachment - $3 - Sawyer Products SP150 Coupling for Water Filtration Cleaning https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018NJC1A6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YQ-PBbDFGGM0D

With this water system you have the option of gravity feeding your water supply at camp. You can also simplify by just buying the $37 kit and just squeeze directly into your water bottle/bladder, but I find this setup more convenient.

After that, the rest are kind of up to you. Food, clothes, etc. I wouldn't skimp on shoes though. Look into trail runners or hiking SHOES (not boots).

Optional things I'd look into is paracord and a tarp especially if you're going to camp in the rain. You can also look into hammock camping which would be a little more budget friendly than the tent + blanket option.

Overall there are definitely cheaper options but I find this to be a good balance of price, weight, and convenience.

All in all this is about $265.

I cannot believe that this Doctor Who throw is now an add-on. It was over $40 when I added it to my wishlist! I really want this because I love wrapping up in blankets and Doctor Who is an amazing show!

I know I love to go for casual drives in my car, with no destination and no timeframe, but what do people that live on remote islands do when they just need to get away? Can they just hop in a pane and...I don't know, fly casual? Cuz that would be pretty awesome!

in my family we dont celebrate birthdays after we turn 16 but i remember money being my favorite thing to get so money is always good if he likes batman and likes jackets you can get him a batman lettermans jacket i dont know why its says $500 i saw it at Walmart for $19 or you can get a batman cozy

You'll know the favorite way to spoil...sounds like walks and cuddles would be on the list for your pup. Favorite food/treats and warm blankets (our pick: Sunbeam Chill Away Heated Fleece Wrap, TCFQR-783-00 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FHW8WKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_pabYzbN3G9K4K). Sending you love & light ❤️

I had this exact same blanket in my childhood home and I loved it. I'm assuming you have a similar sentimental attachment to this blanket but if you want to buy another one I found it on Amazon for a pretty decent price: https://www.amazon.com/Double-Blanket-Featuring-Decorative-Tassels/dp/B01H77IG7C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1488168973&sr=8-2&keywords=Sun+blanket

Kammock’s firebelly down quilt is amazeballs with the mantis. its not cheap, but its a made-to-fit fit and its awesome. Packs down to the size of a nalgene bottle

Pair that with one of those costco down throws and youll be a snug bug


DBD Packable Down Throw (LAPIS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PJ7C4C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_URD2Db8PH2K36

It is pretty awesome isn't it! It's actually a throw blanket/ tapestry however I purchase it off of Amazon. Here is the link!

I would love anything from my list (your choice) or items such as:

Howl's Moving Castle

Super cool bundt pan!!!

Batman Snuggie without cowl

Batman Snuggie with cowl

My brother is almost done with his advance training. What are branch/specialty are you going into?

Honestly just get a Costco quilt today will easily get you down to the 50s Black Diamond Double Packable Down Throw with Stuff Sack, 60" x 70" (Peacock) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079YX2W79/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Jde0Cb4XQ0TE9 and if you have a cost membership it’s like 40 bucks for two of them and they weigh a pound also on Etsy people saw summer quilts for about 70 bucks.

This blanket is adorable!

Need Want a purse?

This necklace is sooo pretty!

> Maybe get them something as a couple, then a other items for each person?

I'd stick to individual gifts OR one couples gift, not both.

For the girl, I'd get her a Game of Thrones-inspired throw blanket. I have one of these and can vouch for them being insanely soft. Then I'd add something more personal like a framed photo of you two to put up in her new apartment.

For the guy, maybe wine glasses and a bottle of wine? Could be perceived as a romantic gesture between you two, or he can drink the wine with the girl.

Good luck with the training! Here's my entry. Stay safe and kick some ass! :)

No problem! If it helps, I had to find the right clitoral stimulation too. I have the best luck with wand vibrators like hitachi.

The brand I was thinking of is actually Liberator, not Sportsheets.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N100ARI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Jen6Bb5FFBDVY

I love this... you could either use it as a comfy blanket for watching TV, or hang it as a decoration!

Thanks for the contest!

I've lived in Michigan all my life and always tried to get away with cute peacoats, etc until I had it one year and declared war on winter. I started wearing thermal underwear all winter under my clothes and my quality of life In general was so much better.. Try to find a down coat if possible. Also maybe get some big warm blankets for when you're inside? I like the ones that have two layers like this. I'm literally covered on one with a heating pad under my butt just to stay warm right now. Oh, also I sleep with a heating pad to keep me warm at night.

Brace Yourself.

I believe strongly in being able to curl up in a warm blanket with a cup of .... well in my case hot apple cider with a good book

But that is just myself ;)

I got the blanket from Amazon a while back. Super comfy and really warm.

I bought this heated wrap a few years ago and it's still going strong. When I first crack it out, everyone laughs at me until they use it. Then everyone wants to buy it.

Okay, I got this.

G4Free 40L backpack - $18.99


Paria Sanctuary Sil Tarp - $79.99


Polycro ground sheet - $7.98


Sleep pad - $16.79


Down throw - $31.95


Ultralight, summer set up straight from Amazon for about $150.


edit: oops, you said no tarp. You could add the bug net for $65 and be at ~210 for an ultralight, modular set up. Could also subtract the polycro sheet and save a few bucks if you buy the inner net.

• Shakespearean insults blanket
  
• Edgar Allen Poe Raven throw blanket
  
  (Granted, these are both through CafePress and slightly more than $50....)
  
  
• I can't READ it, but I like the look of this pillow set.

  Thank you for the contest!

Wow I had a blanket on my bed with the same print. It came from sears. That's some nostalgia. There's a blanket here that looks like it. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01H77IG7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0kB3Db2HF7389

If it is for around the house, I would seriously consider investing the money instead in a soft, luxurious throw blanket. When my fiance and I moved in together, I had my one throw blanket, about $45 (not the cheapest one out there) and we fought over it each day until I bought him one. It's easy, portable and realistically, how much would he be walking around the house vs. just sitting on the couch anyways?

Amazon has some great ones, mine is very similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Tache-Inches-Holiday-Sherpa-Blanket/dp/B00FGBTZBI/ref=sr_1_30?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1415068640&sr=1-30&keywords=throw+blanket

Gotcha! Hmmm...

Maybe this

or this

or this???

I have 4 of them and they’re fantastic. I’ve used it over my sleeping bag on cold nights, or by itself on warmer nights.

They’re probably not at Costco right now (seasonal item) but I found them on Amazon here

well, strap on your "snuggy" and come on down! i would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Hooded-Cozy-Blanket-Sleeves/dp/B009DHQ99C/ref=sr_1_3?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1377100790&sr=1-3&keywords=snuggy

This cushion is really sweet. I also like this Shakespeare insults throw

Here's a Marauder's Map blanket
on Amazon... :)

Or if you can do $5 more this is a much better one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FHW8WKQ/ref=s9_top_hd_bw_g201_i1

These are better: https://www.amazon.com/Liberator-Fascinator-Throe-Moisture-Blanket/dp/B01N100ARI

Here you go. Shipping weight 5.4 ounces: Ultra Soft Cozy Plush Fleece Warm Solid Colors Traveling Throw Blanket 50" X 60" (127 Cm X 152 Cm) (Purple) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016U8ZBGI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ydsoDbDF1BVSZ

It does but it's worth keeping in mind that it does feature a raven rather than an eagle on it.

I got it as a gift for christmas last year, but I found it here on Amazon!

I have my eye on this. I think there is one of Thror's map and also a tree of Gondor as well.

So many things I'm not quite sure which I'd consider the nerdiest, but here are some highlights.
Battlestar Galactica Starbuck Wallscroll
Pound-O-Dice
TARDIS blanket

I'm in an unrelated situation, but slightly similar. Was looking to cut down on my heating bills. Buy an electric blanket. I got mine for 25 bucks (granted I'm in Japan so YMMV). That and get some insulation for your doors. You can get some for cheap in a dept store I imagine. Like a small roll of thick insulation tape.
Overall with tape and my blanket I halved my electricity from last winter. And the expenses I spent on the blanket and insulation have already paid for themselves with this month's bill difference.

DIAGONALLY!

This Ravenclaw tank because I need to represent my house!

Also this because everyone could use a Ravenclaw tapestry throw.

It does. I purchased one for my secret santa for the Harry Potter exchange last year. It comes in all the houses and a Hogwarts crest one too, I believe. There's also a Marauders Map. Here is the Ravenclaw one.

Gryffindor Tapestry

Hufflepuff Tapestry

Last I heard, Costco's not selling them at this time. You can get them on Amazon but they're more expensive.

Almost! We bought [this throw] (https://www.amazon.com/Northwest-Company-Marauders-Tapestry-60-Inch/dp/B00BT17YVC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474212962&sr=8-1&keywords=maurader%27s+map+throw) to give Shay a place to lie down without getting fur over the rest of the sofa.

Girl! I'm a heavy squirter too. Do NOT waste time with a towel. It makes an even bigger mess. Get this. Its worth every single penny. Put it down first, go to town, then throw it in the wash. No wet spot at all.
