Custom-Made DreamCatcher's @WeightedBlanket #Giveaway ends 3/3/13

If you or someone you know have sensory needs, you won't want to miss this opportunity to win a weighted blanket (or product) below. They also make nice gifts. 

I received a 7 lb. twin blanket from DreamCatcherTM for my 5 year old son to review last week and upon receiving the package, I was immediately impressed. You can tell it was packaged with care. These blankets are durable and 100% custom-made. The weights are evenly distributed with their quilting technique.

This was embroidered at the bottom righthand corner of our blanket.

The weight was calculated by my son's height and weight. Eileen was very helpful. I chose a medium blue that fits the theme of his room and he can grow into with years to come.



My son took to it right away. I asked him if he likes it and he said, "I love it!" I tried it out myself and I like how comforting it feels and the cotton fabric she used.  He usually sleeps ok at night and I'm hoping I can use it to comfort him in other ways when he likes to "lean" on me.

The Packaging: It came nicely folded wrapped in tissue paper
and with a nice letter.
 Why I like working with DreamCatcherTM:
  • They have a child with Special Needs. Eileen has a child with severe Autism and designed the original weighted blanket with him in mind.
  • Prices include Shipping. 
  • They consult with Occupational Therapists. "Our leadership in the field has all informed weighted blanket manufacturers following the recommendations developed by the DreamCatcherTM team of Occupational Therapists."
  • It's 100% custom-made. You pick the fabric, size and weight. They have thousands to choose from including your favorite characters. They'll also help you with what you don't know such how to calculate the weight personalized to each unique individual's needs. 
  • It grows with your child. They have a lifetime exchange policy. (See more info below)
  • The DreamCatcherTM team have been making blankets for over 10 years. You can learn more of their trials and tribulations here. 
  • They give back. Their Giving Tree Program is amazing.  Please consider donating one today. (See more info below)
  • Eileen is a sweetheart. If you catch her own the phone, she is very open about her journey.
  • They have other products: weighted vests, lap pads, and wrappers.
"It is our hope by offering you a custom or pre-made DreamCatcherTMWeighted Blanket product, that you or someone you love and care for will also benefit from their calming and soothing effects the way our son has. The best part of our job is hearing from our customers what an enormous difference one of our blankets has made in the life of their families." -Eileen & JC Jackson

Learn About Their Giving Tree Program


They currently receive over 500 entries a month in response to their monthly FREE weighted blanket giveaway. That number shows the incredible need for people who would benefit from a weighted blanket, and can't afford one or don't have insurance that would cover the cost. DreamCatcherTM tries their best to help as much as possible, but cannot do it on their own. They started a program called DreamCatcherTM Weighted Blanket Giving Tree Program where they hope to find donors to help someone in need.

  • Only those who meet the criteria to participate in the Giving Tree Program will be notified.

  8. i enter these things a lot. i dunno...i have pretty severe sensory issues, but i still feel guilty. like maybe only parents of autistic/sensory befuddled kids should enter them. if i could afford it i would just buy one and leave these contests to the truly deserving.

  18. My son loves his Dreamcatcher blanket. His first one from another company was made very poorly and fell apart the first time we washed it. I would love to get his father, my husband a Dreamcatcher weighted blanket to help him relax. They both are High Functioning Autistic and the weight soothes them so much.

  28. My 3 year old daughter would be the one to benefit from this blanket. Due to cost myself and my mom were going to attempt to make one ourselves, but I had never considered what went in to making one ( ie their ht/wt, and other factors). I'm hoping this will assist with when she becomes over stimulated and her sleeping issues.

    Thanks so much for a chance at winning one!

  32. What a wonderful family. My 14 y/o grandson has autism. Becoming a teenager with all its changes and challenges, the addition of autism makes worse. This might be what he needs to help cope.
