Happy Blankie

In 2008, when David Holdrige was just seven years old, he had a really good idea. He wanted to combine his little sister’s two favorite things, stuffed animals and blankies, to create something that would make the world smile.

David’s idea inspired the whole family and soon Happy Blankie was born. The first creation was
Giggle the Happy Pig, an adorable animal-faced piggy blanket with a HUGE cheek-to-cheek smile. Soon after, Giggle was surrounded by her favorite friends: Stomp the Happy Frog, Tumble the Happy Bear, and Chase the Happy Dog.

David knew his idea was a great one because whenever anyone felt or saw a Happy Blankie they had a smile a mile wide. Then his mom, Emily, had a second great idea—give a blankie away to a child in need for every blankie they sold AND let kids choose where they wanted it to go. Thus, “One to Love, One to Give” became the core philosophy of Happy Blankie.
