I have ordered a Slanket!!

If I don't like it, it'll morph into someone's Xmas pressie.

we would like a full review (with photos !!) when you get it.

what colour did you choose ?

Sparrow · 10-03-2009, 11:48 AM

I chose Royal Blue.

I'll spare you the piccies; but will post a review if I remember.

no no no !! photos are a key part of any review !!! you can't get out of that !

when will you get it ?

"normal delivery time is 5 to 7 days" - so about a fortnight I expect.

I doesn't have a camera (or a mobile with photo facilities) - and I'm not schlepping down the local passport photo booth in it.

Do they work as a bathrobe if you put them on backwards?

No (too square). It's more of an on-the-go pagan ritual cloak.

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.

Wierd. Never seen anything like that before

Dear me - a search reveals that Amazon UK sell them (curiously, in the "Kitchenware" department!). I shall have to invest in one

I would be more inclined to the blankoat if I could afford it. It could double as a Halloween costume, either a monk or a wizard. (Or a waiter at The Abbey in Atlanta.)

The yeti got him and I a slanket each the other day (from somewhere like fireboox or iwoot, with next day delivery) - I can reveal that they are not-quite-long enough for yetis so it's advisable for them to wear warm socks with it.

I can also reveal the red colour is more of a brown-ish burgundy, and the brown is, um, brown.

Snuggies are awesome for reading in the cold!! I like any flannel PJs for when it's cold.

Save your money. Move to Noosa where you don't need one.(*)

Works for me.

(*Can you tell I don't do the household budgeting?)
