It'a THE Blanket with Sleeves--You Gotta Get One!

Well, Jonah received his Snuggie last night. Sorry to say, the UPS "man" didn't deliver it, but I'd like to think it was still a Special Delivery.

While it's probably not a completely necessary household item, the Snuggie is a MUST-HAVE.

Translation = everyone's getting a Snuggie on my Christmas List this year. (It's the Furbie for adults, in my opine.)

Why?

1. It's actually really functional.
Sure, it's just a fleece blanket, BUT because of the way it's "cut" or patterned, you have full use of your arms while you are under it. This Obi One Kanobi blanket (that's what you look like when you wear it) covers your neck, but is still long enough to cover your toes. (And as Jonah demonstrated last night, you could theoretically cover just your arms/torso, but leave the legs uncovered.)

2. It comes with a booklight that rocks.

Because it's "As Seen on TV" you get a bonus gift. Woo hoo! In this case, it's a booklight that is hilariously technical (push the "on" button and it unfolds like 4 times, THEN turns on a light).

3. It's just plain fun(ny).

There's something fun about owning a completely unnecessary household item. For me, it's a little like owning the garlic press. Sure, I could just turn my knife on it's side and SMASH garlic when a recipe calls for garlic (has to be a wide knife, mind you), BUT it's much more fun to get out the garlic press and smoosh that garlic through the midevil kitchen appliance.

So I'm just sayin', consider the Snuggie.

(PS: It's only $14.99 at Target right now. I'm not even sure you could purchase fleece and MAKE your own Snuggie for that price--and include an awesome booklight. I don't think you could.)

(PSS: If I worked in marketing for Barnes and Noble, I would have a Snuggie display at the checkout. Forget those miniature hardbacks and $30.00 pens, your favorite book AND a Snuggie make the perfect pair.)
