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).
Where did the word Slanket come from ?
I was in Colorado at the time with my brother Jeff, and our friend Jay who is on the homepage, and we were having a late morning brainstorming session. BLANKET SLEEVES = SLANKET. It almost created itself. It was there to be discovered
