During a quick stop at Walgreens this weekend, I waited patiently in the car for my husband to run in and buy some cold medicines.
When he returned, he came back with more than just nasal spray and cough drops.
Into my lap landed this:
My reaction: WTF is this?! Oh hells naw, you did NOT just buy me a SNUGGIE! Get that thing away from me and take it back RIGHT NOW! That’s the…
Hubby: It’s not for you. It’s for my mom. Her birthday is next week.
Me: Oh, okay then. It’s perfect.
I don’t know why, but I am morally against the snuggie. My husband (aka, the person who knows me best) thinks that this is the one item I should be all over. I’m constantly cold and love curling up on the couch with my giant blue fleece blanket. I’ll wrap it around myself and wear it like a toga as I walk to and from the kitchen for refills of hot chocolate. In theory, I am the perfect snuggie candidate.
However.
I do not like the snuggie. In fact, just mere mention of the word “snuggie” makes me rather…angry. Like punch a koala angry (thank you, CareerBuilder). Some might even say…stabby. Yes, the snuggie makes me stabby. It’s a strange phenomena really. Someone should conduct a study on my psyche. Though I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. How does a monk’s fleece cloak evoke so much emotion? I don’t know. I just know there aren’t enough koalas around when I need them.
I secretly want a snuggie. Only, I want a low-cut one so that crap doesn’t bunch up around my neck.
You are not alone. But, which I too am morally against them, I sorta want one. I know, for shame!
You know what my beef is? It is a freaking blanket that some jackass made and is making millions on bc other people that aren’t as smart as you and fail to wrap their own blanket around them toga style.
so funny story: my gram gave me the knock-off version of the snuggie for christmas. TDH and I had recently seen them at a store and laughed at them. HOWEVER, I do not get on my couh without it.
Funny story #2: I wore it the wrong way for the first month I had it. TDH got a good laugh out of that when he figured it out.
I do not normally advertise the fact that I have a knock-off snuggie. It’s kind of old lady-ish but man is it warm.
I’m against it only b/c it’s supposed to be called a “slanket”. How did the snuggie rip off slanket and get away with it?
Please, don’t punch koalas! Punch babies!
This made me laugh out loud.
They look just like backwards robes to me. Does anyone know if there is a differance? Me and my husband make fun of them also. Deep down inside I know they look like something I would happily err….snuggle in.
It may be comfy as hell but I just can’t get over the creepy-ness factor. Thanks for the compliment on the new blog design, just a theme I found on the internetz :)
I agree with you on this one. I’m all for snuggling under my blanket, but if I want to read, I turn up the heat. Or put on a sweatshirt.
Those commericals look creepy – the one of the family around the campfire just makes them look like Druids. And wouldn’t you think they’d be pretty flammable?
I think it’s the ten-zillion spammy emails I’ve gotten about this product. If I wanted one, I’d buy it–quit spamming me! It also looks like it has great tripping potential. I realize not everyone has their house cordoned off by baby gates, so this might not be a huge concern for others. But all I can picture is myself with my face planted on the kitchen floor as I try to leave the living room, but my Snuggie decides to be a snaggie and grab the baby gate.
Yeah, so not a product for me either. (And is it just me, or does the name slanket come way too close to skankie to actually be marketable?)

Snuggie= X-large robe backwards.
ugliest thing i have ever seen!! lol
I am so with you on this! When I first say it I was intrigued and now I am just totally *yuck!*
The snuggie was invtentd by kris kross from back in the day. All they did was turn a robe backwards and wear it :)
i’m torn between the Snuggie and the Shamwow
