Gettin’ cold at your house?
While watching live tv (sorry, TIVO!), I recently saw a commercial about the Snuggie at $19.95 plus free book light.
Naturally, I went online to look it up. I found out about the Slanket, available at amazon.com (and qvc.com for less), but priced twice as much as the Snuggie. Worth the difference? The Slanket story was appealing: a college guy freezing and needing to use the TV remote control from under his blanket. Gotta love that. Man after my own heart.
[note to self: PR angle -- Slanket, sponsored by TIVO]
Then I found an online debate about the two here. Snuggie: cheap knock-off or better priced? Slanket: overpriced or higher quality?
Then I wondered if I was wasting my time on the internet. And if my bathroom would ever clean itself.
During that message board debate, someone brought up the existence of the Nuddle, priced at $110 with slits for arm holes and a pocket to anchor your feet and keep your spouse from stealing the blanket. The perfect Valentine’s gift. But you pay extra for that defensive position.
So, I ask you, dear readers, will someone from these companies please send me a free sample? please buy all these blankets and tell me which one is the best?
K, thx.
How do you keep warm in winter? Snuggie? Slanket? Salsa dancing?

I guess I’m old-fashioned. I keep warm with slippers and a robe.
Yeah, I’m sorry. Those things are so ugly! If I wanna be warm, I toss on socks or slippers. Put on a sweatshirt or cuddle under a blanket…preferably with my kids and husband.
And who the H#$L thought up those names?!

Considering that I usually have a multitude of animals trying to sit on me, I’m not often faced with this issue.
I can loan you the dog and skunk for an evening if you like…

kristen, slipper and robe? oh, the shopping opportunities you are missing out on!
dumblond, doncha like looking like Obi Won?
reese, we have the dog but she is not dependable for warming me up when I want her to! i’ll pass on the skunk! thanks, tho!
I have a multitude of regular blankets piled on my couch. We make very good use of them! As for the remote problem…we just don’t change the channel very often and if someone calls? Forget about it, leave a message!

When you figure out a way for your bathroom to clean itself, please, please share your secret.

“Then I wondered if I was wasting my time on the internet. And if my bathroom would ever clean itself.”
Um, that would be a big YES! But then we’re bloggers, it’s what we do.
And in addition to whatever other inconveniences would be associated with the snugket or whatever, would it be worth such an overdose of dorkdom?

Jenn, if we have piles of blankets the dog takes them over, kicks some off to make the perfect pile for herself!
Mrs. G, you’d be the first I’ll tell. then I’d write the book and make a bajillion dollars.
Citizen, you think it looks dorky? not Star Wars-y? Oh, same thing? Imagine an extra long remote control/light saber….
I’m with the others…my mode of staying warm in my drafty old San Francisco Victorian is layers, hats, long underwear and my favorite…Haflinger wool slippers!

I guess I am the only who thinks having a blanket with arm holes a good idea. I want one for my bed though, so I guess I’d need sheets that way too.
