Comments about Lap Blankets:
Great to help you relax after a stressful day. Soothing warmth and scent. Purchased extra as a gift to daughter in law with twins! Perfect for cold days!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
The size is both a pro and con for me. I like the coverage, but it is difficult to fit into my (average sized) microwave. Also, the repeated re-folding neccessary to get even heating is kind of a pain.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Bought one for myself a year ago and have now given one to my parents as a gift. Helps too ward off chills and relieve aches and pains.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I'm back to buy the smaller neck version for travel.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Often these types of products are too heavy to be practical. These are perfect. Soft, sturdy fabric. I like the moist heat. Great to used in the car. No complaints.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
My fiance and I love these blankets and have purchased them 2 years in a row for friends. Everyone is hesitant to try them but once they do, they can't stop talking about them. Wonderful moist heat for back aches!!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought one each for my aunt and mom for Christmas. They both really enjoy being able to wrap up in the warm blanket.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Instructions warned against overheating. I had trouble heating the lap blanket evenly and I'm always worried about heating it longer for fear it will damage it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
We like the fact that it is not strongly scented - it is not overpowering.
The cover tends to slide a lot, though. It isn't fastened to the pillow enough.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This was a gift and she loves it
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Because of the blanket's size it is somewhat difficult to get hot. We took the insert out of the cover and cut it in half. Now it fits perfectly in the large microwave and takes much less time to get hot. Smells great!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This lap blanket was a Christmas gift to our daughter, who often suffers from back and neck pain. She wraps the blanket around her shoulders at night and says that the heat helps relieve her aches and pains and the light lavender fragrence is very relaxing, which she feels helps her get a better night's sleep.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Given as a gift. This product is very heavy and uncomfortable. It is also time consuming and awkward to remove the inner heating layer, heat in the microwave (you even have to turn it several times for even heating). I was very disappointed. It is soft and might be used without the heating element.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I just love to wrap up in this on a cold day.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I am actually going to return this product. I bought one for me and one as a gift, but realize that after using mine, it would be too difficult for the recipient to use.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This blanket is comforting and warm.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought one for myself and one for my daugheter (so she wouln't steal mine). We both love the warmth and the weight and the slight fragrence of these lap blankets. We put one in my grandson's bed to warm the covers and he slept like a baby! Thank you so very much!

Comments about Lap Blankets:
Gift for my 87 y/o mother. Warming in the microwave my be a slight challenge,(warm, refold, turn, warm)I wish that were a little easier.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Great for a quick warm up. Throw it over your shoulders, legs, or feet. My wife loves it!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
large encough for the best comfort
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I love to roll it up after warming to apply to the lower back. It stays warm much longer than the rice bag I have been using. I was a little put off by the feel of moisture after heating, but it does not leave me feeling wet, or cold. Love it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
A gift to a dear one far away. A touch of warmth and embrace.
No plug-ins, no batteries, Useful anywhere in the house, packable.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
there is no smell
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Bought two for gifts and they love it, I think i need one for myself.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
It'sgreat for aching back muscles because it covers a large area
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I gave this lap blanket to my Mom after she had recently had surgery. Her back was bothering her and her incision area hurt. This warm blanket helped ease her pain and was very soothing.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
The Lavendar Lap Blanket is so nice. I heat it up before bedtime and lay it on my bed under the covers to warm the bed before getting in. Then I move it up near my pillow to smell the lavendar as I drift off to sleep. It doesn't get any better!
I'm disappointed that it's no longer available. I hope it comes back so I can get some for friends.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought it for an elderly nun that was starting dialysis. She loves it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
i only wish it stayed hotter longer......put this on your lap and immediately a cat comes!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought this for my daughter who has a great deal of muscle and joint pain due to Lyme disease. She says it really helps and she loves it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This helps ease back soreness and keeps me warm on cool winter nights (saving on my gas bill). I do not like scented products, so this is perfect.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
My wife has Fybromyalgia, degenerative discs and Chronic Pain Syndrome and has severe trouble with nerves knotting and general pain. The lap blanket is easy to use and soothing to her body and pain areas and lets her function better. The only down side is after a lot of use the seams seem to degenerate and the seed used migrate into pockets that need to be manually moved around to avoid lumping.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought the unscented blanket for my dad who has become quite fragile. He can't generate his own heat and has been tethered to an electric blanket. I bought this to wrap him when he's at the dinner table or in the car and it has been such a blessing to allow for him to move away from the bed and still be somewhat warm. He is thrilled with it. I highly recommend it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This is the second blanket I have had from your company. The first one was scented, but I enjoy the unscented more. I use this blanket to warm the bed at home on a cold winters night. I also keep one in the RV. I throw it in the microwave for a few minutes and it is perfect for warming the bed without having to turn on the furnace.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
My wife is always cold, she uses this product to stay warm , toasty, and comfortable while watching T.V. or reading inthe evening
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought this for my back pain. I am not handicapped. I can drive and walk short distances. Pain is severe at times. I pulled muscles in my hips when severe cough-warmed it up-made tremendous difference. Could not sleep lying down because of cough and pain. This helps reduce the pain and stress. I can fall asleep because of warmth and it's relaxing effect. Love it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I use the product over my shoulders to ease arthritis in neck and shoulders. It's great, but takes a bit of time to heat in the microwave because of its size. You have to turn it and refold for maximum efficiency. But it's so soothing, I love it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Bought this for my mother with arthritis. She absolutely loves it! It is well made - the liner is quilted which keeps all the warmth equally distributed. It is easy to use and the removable washable cover is a plus!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I found this product so comforting that I sent it to a grieving friend. I told her to think of me when she used it and to consider it as a warm hug from her friend who lives far away.
I'd buy this product again; so far, I've purchased one for myself and three for gifts.
Love it!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
It's hard to know what to buy for someone who is turning 100 years old, but when I saw this lap blanket I knew it was the perfect gift. My grandma loved it! She often gets cold and this really helped to warm her up and help her to relax. Thanks for this great product!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I love this blanket... and so does everyone else in my home! It is super soft, stays warm for good amount of time and smells really good. I would definitely recommend it for yourself or as a gift!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I use this every day to help with my painful arthritis in my hips. I wish the heat with in the product would retain longer.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
The lap blanket is just so cozy. If you are looking for the "warm & fuzzies", this is it. It is so relaxing and it makes you just want to fall asleep. Great to relax at the end of a tiring day. It does take 4 trips to the microvave to heat it since it is so large and you need to turn it over and refold it, but it is worth it. I love it!!!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought this for my daughter-in-law, who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She told me that it is so soft and comforting that her five year old son "fights" her to keep it for himself! She usually shares it with him and says they both love it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This is a great warmer for an elderly lady who spends a great deal of time in her chair. The aroma is pleasant and is very soothing.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Gardner's Supply Company products. I have purchased several hot packs, the latest being the lap blanket. I have fibromyalia and these packs have brought great relief. I use them off and on all day and fall asleep with one draped around my shoulders at night. They are high quality, and I enjoy the scented fragrance. I also appreciate having the removable cover, as it can be easily laundered. I have told many friends about them and have purchased one for each of my daughters. They are soothing for anyone after a busy day!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Great size and gives you moist heat which really helps relax stress in the neck and back.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I've had alot of these and this one's the best. Lightweight and a wonderful size!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I received the Lavender Lap blanket as a gift from my husband. I had small scented "hot packs" that I would heat in my micro wave and put them between the sheets at night before going to bed. Now I do the same w/my large lap blanket and it is wonderful. It also works nicely as a "wrap" on those cold evenings..I use my Lavender (could us a bit more lavender scent)blanket every night in the winter and I recently sent one to my sister in law who has been heating a small pack for neck stiffness..She was thrilled and loves hers as well..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Please keep them in stock...yours is the only source. I am also a nurse (and "ex"-massage therapist) so I appreciate the benefits of the fabulous moist heat that this large blanket, when heated, supplies.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I purchased this item for my daughter who has fibromaygia. she loves coming home from work, after a long day, and snuggling up in the blanket. she finds it to be warming to her joints, very soothing and comforting. she said it's the best present I ever bought her!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought one for my daughter in law in Boston for Christmas. Then discovered that my son would sneak it from her-- so I ordered him one of his own. They both love them. Then I bought one for us, and we love it too. It sure feels good on cold winter days and nights.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought 4 blankets so when guests come and we have evening patio parties, guests will be able to warm while outside on a cool evening. I use it for myself when I am chilly and need to get warm. It's very effective! My only complaint is that when stored, it can draw dampness. When it's heated, the moisture is released. They are best stored with a dessicant. Please note that the blankets I purchased were not lavender scented (I am allergic to lavender).
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I suffer from chronic cervical sponylosis with related refered pain through my thoracic region and scapula. I avoid prescription medications to control the pain as I dont like the effects both long and short term. Warmth is an effective source of relief coupled with relaxation techniques. This blanket is excellent. My only criticism is the weight but I guess that is unavoidable.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Finally, a heat wrap that actually wraps around or fits the entire length of my back, instead of "spot warming". A little more lavender fragrance would be great. I love the removable and washable cover; it's made with quality.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Wrap around shoulders and snuggle up to a good book
The material is so soft
Most annoying to stand at microwave and turn every 30 seconds for 3-4 mins
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I love this lap blanket, I have tried to find something like this in the past and never had any luck. It is so very comforting, especially on a cold day.
Thanks!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Have purchased close to 20 over last 2 years; gifted friends/family. Have used similar products for nearly 15 years; even made some. NOTHING like these. We have one dedicated to our two small poodles; they know the microwave and "their" pack. When the worst of my pain hits, I put one under me, one on top, and one across my shoulders...deep, soothing, very well made. When they went on sale, we bought some to have in reserve for gifts, and the future!
Great blessings from an active business person approaching 60 rapidly in Wyoming!

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I have RA in my back. I use the wrap when I first get up and sit to read and it takes away the pain.
It also warms me on those cold winter mornings. If I am in a lot of pain at night, I put the wrap around me and I sleep better. I gave two away so far. My one friend love hers so much as do I. she puts hers on to sleep and help her back pain also.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I use it for back and abdominal muscle pain at the same time. It is big enough to be effective in both areas.
I wish it stayed warm longer but if covered with a blanket or towel, it improves the heat retention time.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
this is the absolutely perfect all around gift to give to anyone....i have shared this product with many family members and friends so they can see for themselves!! will not ever be without one!!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I love it! I place it in our bed and it warms the sheets. Then, I wrap it around my torso and it feels like a comforting, warm embrace!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
As others have stated, this is a bulky blanket and a pain to heat. It is rather heavy as well. The company advertised that the heat would last 30 minutes and I find it only lasts 10 minutes or so. Feels great for that period of time, but it wastes a lot of time to heat and reheat constantly. Smell is nice.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
It's a great product...I love it. I put it in the microwave for a few minutes and then wrap it around my shoulders and it's so soothing! I love the fragrance of Lavendar
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Thought I was buying a lap blanket. This has a removable liner filled with heavy stuff that you can warm in the microwave. Placing on your shoulders is like having a small child stand on your shoulders. Far from soothing the weight gives you a headache. I returned for a refund.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Love this blanket i heat it each night before bed and it soothes my sore muscles
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I warm it up to put in my bed at night. The warmth relaxes me and I am sleeping much better. I love it!

She claims it's the best gift ever and the best way to end the day!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Purchased this as a gift to my daughter who loves lavender and being warm.
She reports it stays warm a long time and is easy to use. She recently moved to Boston which is much colder than California. A good gift to her.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This was given as a gift to my aunt and she just loves it. She has called or e-mailed me several times saying how comforting it is and how good it makes her feel every time she uses it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Felt like I was ina warm cacoon; comforting; spa-like; relaxing

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I use the lap blanket to keep myself warm.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Thought this could be used to ward off drafts and as a lap blanket, but it proved to be too heavy for my Mum.

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I gave this as a gift. The user is "always cold" and told me she found it "heavenly" when heated up and placed under another, bigger blanket. I found it a bit small, but suppose if it were too big it wouldn't fit in the microwave. I also found it a bit too expensive, but the user doesn't know that, so she enjoys it a lot!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Great way to warm up, ease muscle pain, and relax.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Gave this as a gift and they loved it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Living in the Northlands, it's a great help in keeping folks warm, and keeping muscles relaxed. Somedays, it seems so hard to keep and stay warm up here....these blankets are a big help.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I heat it whenever I'm home and wrap it around my lower back. It literally absorbs the pain from my herniated disk. It is a godsend.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I take my blanket, all heated up, to bed with me every night. Beats a husband!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Use on sore or stiff muscles and to relax with moist warmth around shoulders after hard day. Also good to warm up with after being in the cold outside air.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Isent it as a supprise! She received it with love...

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I use this to wrap aroung my knees. I have ostro-arthritis. I can fall asleep wearing this and not worry about being burned!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I put this blanket in the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes, then drape it over my legs and feet while I watch TV or read a book at night. You could also use it to warm up a cold bed before you get in.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This product is great to sleep with. The scent of it has helped me go to sleep faster since i got it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
My mother has a lot of back pain and she used it daily when she visited. She also uses one at her home. She especially uses it when she goes to bed and lays directly on it. It helps her relax and alleviates much of the stiffness which causes the pain.

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I gave one as a gift and we both use them for easing muscle aches and just to cuddle in warmth after a long day in the cold weather. It holds the heat well, but I wish it was more like a blanket rather than a stole. Either way I think it's great!!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Perfect for aching back, sore muscles, or cramps.
Even for just relaxing. Bought one for myself, then came back and got more for gifts. Everyone loved them. Even the men think it is great for their aching back! Get one for the man in your life he will love you forever. P.S. they have one that is not scented too.
Comments about Lap Blankets:

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I love the warm feeling around my legs when outside by the fire pit. The large size is fantastic!

Comments about Lap Blankets:
I was expecting something different. It was too narrow and too heavy.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I love the scent, it's beautiful; however, it doesn't hold the heat as long as I had hoped and it's a little heavier than I anticipated.
I think it does make a great gift though..
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I bought 2 of these. One for a friend who suffers from arthritis and is a lavender nut and the 2nd for myself because I believe in aroma-therapy and need the stress relief that it affords me. Thank you for a lovely product.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
My aunt will love the comfort and soothing scent of this lovely lap blanket. A great gift.

Wonderful. I have used this every night since I received it. Ordering more for gifts.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Keeps us warm while watching TV or reading.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Originally purchased two; one as a teacher gift and the other for a friend who has cancer. After seeing how they are packaged and how fragrant they are, we are buying two more. One for my mom and another for my mother in law. They are perfect for cold days or just when you need some comfort. Can't wait to give them for Christmas.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
It is lightweight and easy to use. This was a gift for my grandmother and she LOVES it! I'm thinking about getting one for myself!!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I purchased this item for a sister that had just had surgery on her shoulder. It really was comforting to her. She was in a great deal of pain and discomfort and said it really did help. So, I would give it a an A+ for that.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
My daughter suffers from chronic pain in her shoulder and arms. This product made her feel cozy and helped to melt away some of the pain she had been struggling with. What a great gift!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
The concept sounded great. The reality is that it is difficult to heat with all the unfolding and refolding. It is also quite heavy. As a result, I don't use it nearly as much as I thought I would.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
This was purchased as birthday gift for my daughter. Since she has been under a lot of stress lately I thought this to be the perfect gift. THis was a good choice as she really loves it. I did buy two, one for my other daughter, and I know she will be as happy with hers also.

Comments about Lap Blankets:
It feels great and is bulky to heat up. The lavender scent is too strong. I would buy the unscented next time. Doesn't stay warm long enough.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
this wrap felt VERY good but is too heavy, also was hard to keep turning in my microwave as my machine is above my shoulders. Eased my pain, tho', and felt very soothing!
Comments about Lap Blankets:
I really like the product; however, it takes a long time to heat up in the microwave. And the buttons fell off the first time I used it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
We bought this item as a gift. The recipient was very pleased with it.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Heat and use. That simple.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
Great for your aching back, legs or shoulders.
Much better than using a heating pad.
It really heats up your bones and takes the pain away.

I bought this for my Daughter. She has Arthritis and Fibromialga. She just loves this blanket. It heats in the microwave and stays warm for 30 min. It is great for her shoulders and legs. She takes it to work and uses it at home. I am so happy I found this product.
Comments about Lap Blankets:
warms me all over quickly and lasts long
