Default Got your Snuggie yet?

How many of you have one or have thought about it? I put it on my list for the kids, saying it would be a gag gift because I wouldn't want to be seen buying one.
I have thought about it a few times though.

There's already knock offs out there!
Like there weren't enough of the originals flooding the market..

I wonder what the flamability potential is... that'll be the next story.. "Grandmas up in flames from defective Snuggies".

OH is cleaning the chimney today, then I can have a fire. Maybe I won't feel the need for one when the fireplace isn't empty and cold.

Yep yours truly has one it was a gift last year, theres 2 problems with them, well I am sure there are more, but for me!!.......unless you lay down in it your back gets cold, as it does not do up just hangs open like a flippen surgical gown, and if you do try and wear it, and stand up, you go ass over tit tripping over the hem as they dangle down the front of you.

So I guess if you do buy one make sure you lay on your back and never turn on your side or your butt cheeks will freeze.
2. take the damn thing of before you stand up or you might be paying a rather large dentist bill.

Me too, I'm sure a support group will follow. At least we live in the US and weren't intrigued by the Slanket.

See, I have a very comfortable robe I've had for years (bought it at M&S while we lived in the UK) and I just can't see the need for a fleece surgical gown.....
