When my daughter was born, the mother of my best friend gave me a present that she spotted during a holiday. This was a travel-size blanket especially designed as a baby comforter. Little did I know how attached Brooke would become to this gift.

By the time she was six months old, it accompanied her on all journeys, as well as to bed. One day whilst on holiday, it disappeared and despite all our efforts, we couldn't find it. Brooke was practically inconsolable so I rashly promised her to buy another one just like it. Unfortunately I found it impossible to track down a replacement.

All I could find were regular-size blankets. There was nothing on the market even remotely similar to the one that she had lost. So I decided to create my own version. Soon my friends and family wanted 'blankies' too - and this is basically how 'ComfortBlankets.co.uk' came about!
