Slankets and Snuggies the best way to keep warm this Winter!
Even well heated houses can get drafty in winter, but Slankets keep people warm and snuggly when they are ill or watching television. Slankets are like wraps but with sleeves which allow you to comfortably read or work at a laptop.
These are guaranteed to please the females in your life and also your children.
The Slanket is is 60 inches x 95 inches, so it's long enough even for people over 6 feet, and is made out of polyester microfibers, so it's soft and thick.
When someone asks why a regular blanket won't do, the Slanket is the answer. The sleeves are wide enough to keep you warm and allow enough space for maneuverability (gaming is the most prominent example).
My daughter wears hers as wrap/dressing gown when walking about at home or studying and as a Slanket when watching TV. Now it's winter she wears her slanket many hours a day. As you may guess the Slanket which she received as an early Xmas present has been a great success!
In fact it's the most successful present I've even given someone!
(Please avoid buying the cheap rip-off blankets)

- How do I keep warm? Great question! Today I am sitting on mom's porch with her heater blowing on me - I ran out of GAS in the fifth wheel last night and couldn't understand why I had turned into a popsicle.
