My husband is Chinese-American and, as a result, I’ve come to learn and appreciate many aspects of Chinese culture. Of these, I especially like the belief that the number ‘8’ brings good luck, and that multiple 8s will bring good health, good fortune, and a long life. My daughter just graduated college and I wanted to give her a gift that will last a long time and bring her good health, good fortune, and a long life. This blanket is my gift to her, and is endowed with ‘8’s in many different ways!
