"I purchased an Angel Blanket for my mother-in-law who lost her sister to cancer. I was so impressed with the quality of the product and the uniqueness of the fabrics and designs. My mother-in-law loved the gift and has a warm reminder of her sister each time she wraps the blanket around her."

"I had a Just Because™ Angel blanket specially made for very dear friends' first child, and was so impressed by the beautiful detail and quality of the blanket. The velvet blanket was perfectly wrapped in a very delicate sheer keepsake bag that presented the blanket beautifully. I know that my friends and their little baby girl will love and treasure the blanket for years to come!"

"...ordering a blanket from Just Because Originals gave me a connection to my sister-in-law that I had never experienced. I was able to express my love and concern for her that bridged that horrible word, cancer. I am so happy that I was able to purchase something that is as unique and as special as she. When she opened the gift she noticed and commented on EVERY detail, from the personalized gift card, to the distinct wrapping, to the blanket itself. No words can describe her reaction. Thank you! Instead of just giving her a gift, I was able to touch her life."

"...you cannot imagine my surprise when I received my Just Because™ Original gift, a lingerie bag made of the most exquisite and rich fabrics. Never had I received such a personal gift that had an immediate effect to make me feel as beautiful and special, too! Thank you! I will forever cherish this keepsake and happily recall the day I received it, as well as the memories of the wonderful friend who sent it."

"I purchased a Just Because™ Original blanket for my Sister, Maureen, who had been undergoing chemotherapy for months. When I heard about these blankets--a blanket for a cause--I just had to get one for Moe to provide warmth and comfort during her treatments. I surprised her with it at Christmas and she was moved to tears at the beauty of the blanket...and at the thought and feelings behind it. This gift embodied that sisterhood of love that we shared----the blanket's beautiful pattern and colors were her favorite, the verse was our mantra this past year, and the donation to Compassionate Passages, Inc. was helping a charity that we both have a great deal of passion for.
I have kept the blanket since Maureen's passing and I will treasure it always for the love, warmth, and compassion it gave to both of us during her journey with and eventual death to cancer. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving for it will give precious memories to me, and eventually to her children and grandchildren, for years to come."
