The Snuggie – the blanket with sleeves. Wow. As I write this review, words escape me, but I will try to give my honest opinion on the Snuggie. As I said, I saw the Snuggie commercial and I thought it was a spoof on something. But after realizing that this was a legit product, I tried to pay attention a little more. I was intrigued with this Snuggie – the blanket with sleeves. It looked so warm and cozy – and what about the cozy spectators at the sporting event all snug as bugs in their Snuggies.
As I watched the commercial, I was thinking about all the people I could give the Snuggie to as a gift. Sure, I would get one for myself and my daughter, but who else. I don’t know what my husband would do if I presented him with his own Snuggie – so no Snuggie for him. I would give one to my mother and sister. Did you know they have Snuggies for dogs now too? I wonder if they have size extra extra large that would fit a 160 pound St. Bernard and 130 pound Newfoundland. If they do, I’m on it.
I ended up ordering only one Snuggie at first and then if I was satisfied with it I would order more. It turns out that when you buy one you get one free. Okay – there’s my daughter’s Snuggie. Here’s the best part. With each Snuggie you buy you receive the super slim totally portable book light. Now I can wear my Snuggie in the dark and see what I’m reading! So I get two Snuggies and 2 portable book lights. Sweet. I couldn’t wait for the Snuggies to arrive. How could anyone resist this: “Blankets are ok but they can slip and slide, plus your hands are trapped inside. The Snuggie blanket keeps you totally warm and gives you freedom to use your hands.” Furthermore the Snuggie is made with soft fleece. I love thick soft fleece.
The Snuggies came – one burgundy and one royal blue. The portable book lights came too. They were very slim as promised. Anyway, my daughter and I love our Snuggies. The only thing is the fabric seems a little thin. I was expecting luxurious thick fleece, but it seemed lacking in texture. Still, it adequately covered my whole body and the sleeves covered my arms too. It wasn’t really robe like, because when I’m wearing my robe, I can stand up without it falling off. When I stand up wearing the Snuggie, it falls off. My daughter likes her Snuggie. She was happy to have one when she was invited to a friend’s sleepover. Guess what the theme was? Snuggie. Good thing she had one. Overall I love my Snuggie. It’s very warm and cozy, but I do feel somewhat trapped inside when I get
the hot flashes that seem to come all too often lately.
I highly recommend the Snuggie for anyone who wants to get themselves a blanket with sleeves and get a super slim totally portable book light to go with it.
