I opened the box and pull out a rolled up scarf, but then to my surprise as it unraveled in my hands it revealed that it was both a scarf and hood. Amazing! How my secret gifter knew that I love hoods I will never know. Hoods I love and scarves I love! Also the fabric is soft and cozy! As an added bonus it seems to be reversible. One side with a great pattern and the other side solid grey! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
