| 0:05.4 | Sit and better on the sofa, wrapped in the heavenly softness of the new cozy earth bubble cuddle |
| 0:10.8 | blanket. It is so ridiculously soft. Your toddlers, your teens, pets, even your spouse is going to |
| 0:16.8 | want to cuddle with you. And you will have the best talks all wrapped up together. We absolutely |
| 0:23.7 | love our bubble cuddle blanket because it's the perfect combination of style and comfort. Oh, |
| 0:29.5 | and your sensory kids, forget about it. They're going to try to steal the cozy earth bubble |
| 0:33.7 | cuddle blanket from your room. I'd have them do extra chores to buy their own, but then you |
| 0:38.6 | might not be able to get them out of bed. Look, your bed shouldn't just be a place to sleep. It should be |
| 0:43.4 | your happy place. Use the cozy earth bamboo sheets. We'd love those. And this new blanket, |
