Don't hurry be happy Blanket: sloths in a floral print

Don't hurry be happy Blanket shows sloths clinging to branches among small pink and orange flowers, with the words curled across the print. The line tells you to slow down and enjoy the moment, and “Sloth life” sits low on the left like a shrug. It is made for anyone who has claimed a corner of the couch as their own.

The design piece by piece

Four sloths are spread across the print, each hanging from a dark branch with its arms loose and its face calm. Their bodies are painted in warm browns with swirls of teal, red and green, so each one looks like it was decorated by hand. Between them, leafy green stems and clusters of tiny pink, orange and cream flowers fill the gaps, with small dots scattered across the dark ground like pollen. The words “Don't hurry” and “be happy” arc through the middle in white, and “Sloth life” rests on the lower left as a quiet aside. Together the sloths and the blossoms read as one slow, leafy scene, and the lettering gives the whole piece a wry, easygoing voice.

Everyday moments

This blanket is for people who already live at a sloth's pace. You will notice it first on the sofa, where the sloths sprawl across the fabric while you settle in with a book. It also works on a bed at the end of a long week, when the only plan is a nap and a little light reading. On a chilly evening it turns a plain armchair into a small nook of color, and the floral background keeps the mood cheerful even when the sky outside is gray.

When you need a gift

Reach for this design when a friend has just finished a hectic season, moved into a first apartment, or simply loves sloths and everything about their slow way of life. It also fits a birthday, a housewarming or a thank-you for someone who always makes you laugh. Pick the style that suits the recipient, whether a fleece throw, a sherpa throw, a fleece blanket or a sherpa blanket. Wrapped up with a cup of tea, it becomes a gift that asks the receiver to slow down and enjoy the afternoon.
