Blanket for Parade

[eeyore70]

Don't really want to sit on the ground. Does anyone have any ideas on a blanket to fit two people that can fold up small enough to fit in a womens purse (VB crossbody)??


TIA

I bought this "picnic blanket" off amazon. Its water proof but super thin made of tent material. Keeps you from getting dirty but can still feel the chill of the sidewalk at night. It does fold up super small.

not sure about a blanket, but they sell parade cushions in the park for about $12.00. they're not small enough to fit in a purse, but they're super light weight, so they're easy to carry around.

I have a fleece blanket something like this: https://www.allstarlogo.com/product/custom-fleece-blanket/?gclid=CJ_9hYjj_tECFdeJaAod8XwAqQ It's only $8.

It's super thin, so it folds up pretty small and it weighs next to nothing. I don't know if it's small enough to fit in the purse you're describing, but it fits just fine in the tote bag I typically bring.

I always bring a sarong that I bought in Hawaii at one of the ABC Stores. But you can get them on Amazon. Something like this --> https://www.amazon.com/Sarongs-Wome...499140&sr=1-18&nodeID=1046626&keywords=sarong

It weighs hardly anything. Folds/rolls up really well. Takes up hardly any space in a purse or backpack. Doubles as a wrap if you're cold. During the winter, I wear it as a scarf.

When I went 1-31-17 to the parade, CM's made everyone except the very front row STAND.
If you aren't staking out a curb spot WAY EARLY for the parade you might not need anything.
However, you know how things change.... Nice to be prepared though.

This is the one that they recommend on DLR prep school. It looks pretty awesome, I was considering getting one.

They are also available on Amazon.com for slightly less.

It's really great! I use it quite often. It gets used a LOT at DL. And during the cooler months of the year. I got it for $7.99 at the ABC Store.

Wouldn't a blanket sort of infringe upon the space around you?? The people next to you crowding in??

I bought several of these a few years ago. They're made by ThermaRest so they're great quality, and they fold down so tiny you can fit them inside a sandwich bag. Amazon says they're currently unavailable but you can probably find something similar. It just takes about three puffs of air to inflate, and it's super comfy. It insulates your bottom from both the hardness of the ground, and the coldness of it!

I just bought some Mickey microfleece at the craft store and cut it 5 butts long, 1 butt wide Actually, we just folded it half so it was one butt wide. It doubled as a blanket when the kids decided they'd rather cover with it than sit on it. Microfleece is great because you can cut it to size without needing to finish the edges, but it could be a bit bulky for a purse (it fit in our baggallini messenger bag though).

I like your idea! I suppose you could even cut squares 2'x2' or so, so everyone could have their own ground cover in case you aren't in a line. They would still stack and fold pretty small. Last time we used a twin flat sheet, which was okay, too. We just folded it in half.
