The Snuggie is a blanket with sleeves that was originally only available by ordering it from television - see this commercial - but now is available in stores. It is the best thing ever invented. They also make them for children and dogs. I got mine at Target for $15. |
for dogs ????
i guess i was under the same rock as sweetpea, i never heard of them either until now. i suppose i can see the interest of them... maybe... although personally i manage just fine with my regular blanket without sleeves.
and since i read a lot in bed, my favourite attire is also "none" (except for the bedclothes). when it's really cold, the sony 700 saves the day ; built-in light means you can stick your head and hands completely under the quilt and read in a nice cozy cave.

I must say that the whole "static electricity" thing makes them sound less attractive. I wonder if there's a natural fibre one? I had a cursory look but couldn't find anything. I get zapped by polyester things, unfortunately :/ |
funny comparison. i don't like the idea of a giant polyester static electricity generator either ; i hate getting zapped.

i don't think we have them here either. i've never heard of them, anyway. seems like it would be really easy to make one if you wanted one ; and you could use a nicer fabric.
