My Personal Review:

This blanket is large and it is parachute-type material, so it's very thin. It's best suited for the beach where the ground is soft and there is less chance that anything will damage the material. There are small pockets built in the blanket into which you can scoop some sand to keep the blanket in place, which is great for that often breezy beach weather! If you take it for a picnic and spread it on the grass, it's easy to stake into the ground to hold it in place (it comes with the stakes, too), but it's not cushioned at all so it would be best to bring a nice fluffy blanket or a few big towels to lay underneath for a more comfortable experience. The thin parachute/nylon material dries quickly.

I like that it comes in its own matching bag that can neatly and snugly hold everything you need. The bag is attached to the blanket on one of the edges, which is good and bad. The good thing is, of course, you cannot lose the bag. However, having it attached makes it a bit difficult to get everything folded tightly and compact enough to shove back in the bag. Admittedly I am not the best folder, but I think it makes it a bit more difficult to get everything back in. And forget about getting it back in neatly, at least that's how it was for me. It's a very cute and handy bag with a drawstring, though, so it keeps it compact and as neat as possible. It's very easy to carry and lightweight as well.

At the time this review was written, the price on Amazon for the blanket is $19.99 with Amazon Prime free shipping available, which is a reasonable cost if not just a bit high. I received this blanket at a discounted price but I always reveal my true opinions on products and do not let discounts bias or influence my experience.
