There are people out in the burbs who would probably buy stuff like this for their tween girls. I went to a suburban hip hop recital, and the girls were all wearing airbrushed crap. Anyway, maybe one of the moms has older kids? Still a really odd gift for your girls.
You need to post this picture on Facebook tagging the moms, with no additional comment. Then one of your ML FB friends should be tasked with commenting "WTF is that monstrosity?! LOL!" and then sit back and see how it plays out.
You know what? Thank God I already wrote the thank you note. I just thanked each one for the "surprise to come" because I wanted to get that shit done. (it's 3 weeks post party, it was time to get them out already).

Tegu blocks are nice. You have great taste. I just got 3 sets for E - 2 travel sized, and 1 larger.
- I think my SIL must be one of your friends. Last Christmas, she gave my 2-year-old three kid size small t-shirts. None had tags, and a couple were stained. One t-shirt had baby orangutangs on it.
Man, I wish I'd had the foresight to take a picture of those hideous shirts before sending them off in a donation.

Is there a link to the back story on this?
Sorry your friends (or at least of them) suck. I also choose to believe that 2 girls gave the money and gave the third the task of picking a gift, and have no idea about this monstrosity. Because, yeah, there is no way three people thought this was good.
I would take a picture of it, post it on Facebook, tag all three friends, and say OMG! Look what Sally, Suzie and Sammie just dropped off for the girls' birthday! They all went in together and got these wonderful handmade blankets specially made for my angels! The girls truly love them! I can't believe you guys are so thoughtful!!!! Thanx Sally, Sammie and Suzie! We love you!

These people should be shown for who they are.
You must do this. Make sure to throw "breathtaking" in the description.
Sorry I didn't read all replies. Did you tell them you opened it? If not, I would invite all 3 over and open it in front of them. Hilarity will ensue. You will get the stool or whatever you want when they see that breakin 2 electric boogaloo booshit right there.

Can you at least get the company to send you one without someone's makeup all over it? They are hideous and I would post it with "there an no words" or "a picture's worth a 1000 words." Sorry, but consider their gift means you are no longer going to have to knock yourself out worrying if your gift to their children is thoughtful.
Well, now you have their vomit blankets for when they are sick.
I am sorry that you put a lot of thought and effort to get nice gifts for their kids and well, it seems that they did not. There are so many nicer and not terribly expensive monogrammed blankets out there.
You should take our advice here. Shaming is the only answer. That thing is butt ugly. And ghetto. And it seriously took me a while to figure out the name.
