Good Questions: Anyone Recognize This Blanket?

With the weather getting more wet and cold all around, the good ole blanket is in high demand (my girlfriend is in love with the Snuggie, which makes everyone look like Alec Guiness in Star Wars). Reader Jennifer writes in asking about a specific blanket that has caught her eye from a fav show and hopes someone out there can help identify it:

Private Practice is my favorite LA-based show, and I love seeing the cast around Santa Monica, where I live. What I love even more, though, is the fashion and decor on the show. Last week's episode ended with Violet wrapped in a blanket on her couch. Anyone recognize the blanket? It's exactly what I'm looking for for my reading nook...

Got a good question you'd like answered? Send your queries and a photo or two illustrating your question, and we'll see if the ATLA team or our readers can help you out.

actually, yes.. this is identical to a throw my mom purchased @ Target about 2 years ago when she repainted her guest room.

It may be from Target, but I also saw ones very similar if not the same from World Market last year. I bought my mom one in a different color for Christmas. :)

Yeah, I was going to say Target two or three years ago, too.

damnit, they're hideous - but i kinda want a snuggie. The whole laptop with a blanket over you is a little cumbersome. They should have an adult sized baby bunting pj. lol

AT contributor Rebecca notified me that she has the very same blanket and that it is from World Market.

I have the same blanket but in a tan/cream colour combo from Urban Outfitters circa 2005.

brookejoy... I read this the other day:

"Watch the commercial and tell me the marketing people who put this together did so with a straight face. There is simply no way. It's obvious the inventors ignored the revolutionary new invention called "the sweatshirt" when they made this, but it's so over the top it's laughable. Why is it that when everybody is shown together they're wearing the same color? The first time I saw this commercial I immediately thought of the Neighborhood Watch from Hot Fuzz."

I got in in Zara Home, in Spain. Not sure whether they have it anywhere else.
