Fess Up: Is the Snuggie on your x-mas list?

[rucky]

Either as a give or a receive?

All the adults in the family decided to do a Snuggie exchange this year (saving our budget for the kids). Then we're going to take a family portrait in 'em.

[Odin2005]

1. I want one!

:D

[rcrush]

2. I can usually find a suitable gift for anyone I know at the local head shop

My friends are easy to shop for.

[PromoTom]

3. Im getting one...

for my dog :)

[Shell Beau]

27. That must be a gigantic dog!!

:hi:

[Kat45]

32. They make snuggies specifically for dogs.

Saw one in a store.

[soleiri]

4. I'm trying to convince my family

That they all want snuggies.

So far, to no avail. :(

[blueamy66]

5. I sent away for a free one.

Hope it shows up.

[Debi]

6. I bought this one as a joke for my Irish husband

I plan on stealing it from him around Dec. 26th.

[sasquatch]

10. "I plan on stealing it from him around Dec. 26th."

Why?

[Debi]

36. Because I want it.

and I doubt he bought me one. ;)

[LynneSin]

7. And they allow your family's gene pool to reproduce???!!!

:hide:

[rucky]

11. Like bunnies.

Fuzzy ones.

[Paula Sims]

8. They remind me of Heaven's Gate members

The people on those infomercials are just too freaky & happy.

That said, I got the warmer one from Ulta (with a really big coupon discount).

[HopeHoops]

9. Fuck no!

Anything that has the stupid "As Seen on TV" thing on the box is automatically off of the shopping list.

[GoCubsGo]

26. Some of those "As Seen onTV" products are actually good stuff

OxiClean, for starters. Can't beat it for red wine stains, among other things. Mighty Putty and Mighty Mend It are worthy products, although not quite as strong as claimed. And, I'm a big fan of Shamwows. I sweat more than anyone you ever met. I used the small ones as sweat mops while spending a South Carolina summer working in a swamp. They worked fairly well. I used to wrap a 1 L bottle of frozen water in a large Shamwow. That sat in a hot truck all day. Eight hours later, there was still a chunk of ice in the bottle. Thanks to the Shamwow, I not only had cold water waiting for me, I had a nice, cool towel with which to dry off before I put on a dry t-shirt. They sop up liquids AND are great insulation. I love 'em!

[Dogtown]

39. So...

You spill a lot of red wine, do you?



:smoke:

[graywarrior]

12. If and when I want to join a cult, I'll get one.

[rucky]

13. We'll be waiting, my child. n/t

[graywarrior]

15. LOL

Are we gonna off ourselves in bunk beds?

[Paper Roses]

14. Right next to the Salad shooter, Chia Pet, Clapper,Sham Wow,

and a myriad of other shop-TV trash. I don't know which is worse, the commercials or the voices of the people doing the pitch.

I think the one that has me saying, No S--T Sherlock is the stair elevator. Some old geezer profoundly states that buying one is definitely cheaper than moving. Duh.

(I'm an old geezer and if I said that in relation to the stair gizmo, I hope they push me off a cliff.
In this case, I'll be neither a sender or a receiver. Hate to own any of it and too embarrassed to give any either.

[kentauros]

16. No.

I might get a replacement to my jacket-shirt that's wearing thin in the elbows, but I've got enough blankets, thick socks and that lined jacket-shirt to keep me plenty warm without some fad-item ;)

[rucky]

18. Have fun fumbling for the remote...

While I'm rockin' the Snuggie :P

[kentauros]

19. I keep all of my remotes in one spot, easily accessible,

no matter what I'm wearing or watching. All of you that can't remember the very useful phrase "A place for everything and everything in its place" can go jump in a frozen lake! :P

[Lucian]

17. The Snuggie is the new Chia Pet.

[kentauros]

20. I'm surprised no one has invented a

virtual-chia-pet-rock by now ;)

[Lyric]

21. I'd love to have one!

They're really comfy. :)

[Liberal Veteran]

22. I'm wearing one right now.

I have the blood red one for when the Jehovah Witnesses come by, and a blue one for just sitting around.

[Arugula Latte]

23. That is Gift #1 on my nine-year-old daughter's wish list.

Seriously, she can't wait to get a Snuggie. It just cracks me up. We already bought her one, and today she was begging me to take her to the drug store so she could buy one. I said: "Would you please just wait until Xmas?"

[AwakeAtLast]

24. My 7 y/o daughter's, too!!!

She has talked about it non-stop. Pink, of course! ;)

:hi:

[Arugula Latte]

30. Ha ha!

At least she doesn't want the leopard print one!

:hi:

[GoCubsGo]

25. The colder it gets, the more I want one.

Especially now that they come in leopard print.

[Arctic Dave]

28. My wife wants one. Apparently the 25 blankets she has in the living room isn't enough.

[Arugula Latte]

31. 25 blankets but Zero sleeves amongst 'em!

She NEEDS a Snuggie! :P Oh, and she can wear it to a football game, apparently. :rofl:

[femmocrat]

29. Yes, I'm giving two of them for gifts! LOL

I even bought one for myself!

[Kat45]

33. I'm a small woman so I thought they'd be too big for me, but then

I realized that the kids size would fit me. I was mentioning that to my boyfriend one of the times we were joking about the snuggie--now I have a feeling he might get me one for Christmas. :rofl:

[Stardust]

34. I made one for a friend of mine about 8 yrs ago. Now I'm embarassed

that it's become such an object of ridicule. I knew they were silly, but warmth seemed more important back in the day.

[WCIL]

35. The store I work at has almost sold out of them

but we expect to get most of them back on December 26th.

[PRETZEL]

37. Got one last year,

got the dog one this year.

They aren't terribly comfortable, but they are warm.

[brendan120678]

38. I do have it written on my list as...

"ABSOLUTELY DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET ME A SNUGGIE/SLANKET/CUDDLEE/ETC."

[cbdo2007]

40. No....the point of bundling up on the couch under a blanket is so my hands are

specifically NOT exposed to the cold. The snuggie has big hand hole sleeves in it which I'm guessing is letting at least some coldness in. I want a freakin' full blanket so that I can be appropriately bundled. If I need to change the channel, I'll stick my hand out and do it, and then get back under.

[rucky]

41. That sounds like alot of work.
