What a wonderful surprise!
My 4 year old DGD opened hers this year, said thanks, but no real reaction. Then a couple of hours later, after presents were over, she was on the couch under it, and said "This is the most beautiful blanket I've ever seen. I am going to sleep with it every night FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!". And then went on to ask if I had enough fabric left to make one to match for her "baby". Made my day....
