The cancellation card came 2 days later. They charged me all most 3 time the amount it stated on my original invoice. Can’t get anyone to answer my emails or phone calls. Just a big RIP OFF.

Much to my surprise, I actually like it! That isn’t to say it is an Earth shattering creation. It’s just like a big, cozy blanket. We don’t have many good blankets around the house so this works well. Surprise, surprise.

It’s a bit of a Snuggie rip off, but isn’t the Snuggie just a Slanket rip off? There are tons of these around. I can remember seeing them in tourist stores years ago.

Are you kidding me? I received a NUDDLE Blanket for Christmas – and I have to say, it is the softest, most comfortable, most indulgent thing I’ve ever felt.

The hand “slats” instead of sleeves get those ridiculous sleeves out of your way – and the paunch hand pocket and foot pocket are makes this product so superior to the cheap imitations.

Plus, this thing feels like a golden retriver puppy!.

I’ve found over the years you will blog about interesting things. I always loved taking part in your contests even though my own graphical abilities are nothing compared to that of other visitors to your blog. It was always amazing to see what people can come up with.

I must say you have hit some fairly low ground when you find yourself relaying the latest marketing campaigns for ridiculous products.

Thank you to Benjy for pointing out the obvious fact that the snuggie is just a less fashionable version of the once mighty bathrobe. And wow, the colors really are bad for this product. I would think a nice black “robe” would be nice rather than puke colors.

Anyway.. why am I telling you my opinion of this thing? I don’t want to encourage you any more than I already have.

The snuggie.. ::rolls eyes::

Is it so damn hard to put on a sweatshirt? Seems to me that this is another example of technology taken a step beyond what’s truly useful for humanity…

I wasn’t impressed by the Snuggie when I saw the commercial. I mean, if I am going to wear a ‘fleece dress’, why not just put on an actual fleece or a robe? And they say it’s great for picnics, why not just throw on a coat? lol.

You know what I do want? Did anyone ever have those comfortable jumpers or onesies when you were younger? They were these one-piece sleep outfits that even had little feet in them so that the only thing that was exposed was your head.

They should make those in adult sizes…

I thought it would be a good Christmas gift considering she reads a lot while having a blanket wrapped around her. While I’m still anxious to get the product, it certainly won’t be arriving by Christmas. I’ve snooped online and apparently the product is on backorder, but the company doesn’t bother to tell you, which sucks for those of us who ordered it as a Christmas gift. I just hope the thing arrives before winter ends.

Oh, and I made sure to order a blue one because the red Snuggie looks like a ceremonial robe…. PERFECT TO WEAR FOR THOSE OUTDOOR EVENTS!!
;)
