like these

so many but I want to make sure that they look like the pictures before buying one. I like the knitted ones rather than fleece

I originally ordered the kids one from twinkle deals and it was really small but nice so I decided to order an adult blanket and my 8 year old loves it. The kids blanket only came up to her hips but the cult blanket is big enough for Her.

I got a knitted one. It's a little bit pointless really, it doesn't look like a tail unless you purposefully lay it out and it's annoying to get in / out of if the phone rings or you need the loo.

This is a lake blue from a UK eBay seller, it was around £19 I think. It's really cosy and a lot bigger than I thought, was an adult size.

i got this mermaid blanket from a uk seller. took a week to come. it is lovely and long too. my niece is 5 and it will easily come up to her armpits if not further.

i don't know about anyone else but i thought there was room for them to put their feet through at the bottom so they can walk in it but this one doesnt seem to have. there is a hole but not big enough for both feet i doubt.

What age do you think they are good for? Is my 10 year old niece too old?

I would also prefer to buy it in a shop if poss so that they could take it back. Do you know if any real shops sell them?

Thanks Smile
