2-Pack: Random 50" x 60" Velvet Throw Blankets
Our Take
- A two-pack of “velvet plush” (soft poly) throw blankets- Random colors and styles – you must surrender yourself to the whims of the blanket gods- They call it a throw blanket but we tried it out and we still prefer throwing knives. Different strokes - Blankets are one of those things you don’t usually find yourself owning too many of- Model: 78913 (These blankets are model number sisters with this industrial strobe light. Fill a room with a dozen or so of each and friend, you got yourself a party)
That's So Random
The fact that were selling a 2-pack of velvet plush throw blankets is random. The fact that theyre a random assortments of colors and styles is extra random. But do you know whats more random than any of this? Everything in Japan.Meh writer @skemmehs here corresponding from the great city of Osaka for a second installment of Weird Crap From Japan.
