SNUGGLE UP FOR THE HOLIDAYS – Mertado Plush Blanket Review and Giveaway

December 4, 2011 By Debra Pearlstein 73 Comments

I love shopping online, so I was happy to have found Mertado.com.

Mertado.com is an online social shopping site that sells top of the line home & kitchen products at up to 70% off. Membership is free. It’s super easy to sign up. You can sign up normally or just connect with Facebook if you so choose.

Built on the Facebook social media platform, the Mertado site allows shoppers to recommend purchases, see what their friends are buying, and interact with their network while shopping for their favorite brands at discounted prices. 

Mertado has tapped Food Network TV veteran Curtis Aikens to tape exclusive segments for Mertado TV — a unique series of videos on the site that highlight recipes, tips, and tricks for using goods purchased on Mertado.com. I’ve watched and enjoyed a few, and learned a few things.

 
Mertado was kind enough to send me a Coral Springs Home Plush Blanket to review.


I have to say I was very pleased when I opened the box.
It was a Full/Queen size plush blanket in Burgundy packaged
very nicely.  

But, my true joy came when I opened the package. The blanket is so luxurious and soft that you just want to snuggle in it immediately. I tried it that night and was very pleased. I don’t like thick heavy plush blankets. This one, however, is just as warm as those but very lightweight, thinner and flexible. It was a particularly cold night, and I wrapped myself up in it and had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time.

This blanket is perfect for snuggling in front of the tv, curling up with a good book, sleeping, napping, or just staying warm while you work. It’s really one of the softest blankets I’ve ever felt and I’m thrilled to have it for the coming winter.

And, guess what, my friends? Mertado has been kind enough to offer my readers one of the same supersoft plush blankets.  One reader will win a Coral Springs Home Plush blanket worth $35+ from Mertado.com. 


The first two entries are mandatory and the rest are for extra entries, so best of luck! Please enter via Rafflecopter.

    I would love to have this blanket to keep warm on cold Colorado nights. The fact that it’s lightweight, but as warm as the thicker, heavier blankets really appeals to me.
