slanket

[natchrulblond]

reminded me of what the Monks wear on their Dr.visits

[pebbles]

Lordy, have you ever seen anything more pathetic and dorky looking?

[baditude]

I thought they were absolutely hideous!! Did you see Rick D. during the presentation yesterday sitting in one...I bet they had to pay him extra money to do that...he looked like a fool. I wonder if they ever really sell the amounts that they claim or it that is a way to try to entice people that it is such a 'popular' item. I always wonder too how many of that number gets returned.

[Septgal]

I never knew that we had to be fashionistas while sitting on the couch, at home with a blanket thrown over us. I thought it was a great idea. Wish I had thought of it. Cant tell you how many times I had to go catch kids, dogs, answer phones etc. and tried to figure out how to keep the blanket on me!! I was going to get one for myself but since its that time of yr. to buy for others, I would have felt guilty. Plus, I wanted to the pink and it had sold out.

I totally agree...TOO FUNNY!!!

[Barbi]

They were ridiculous looking and while I agree that you don't have to look glamorous while relaxing after a hard day's work, I think that, at my worst, I look better than the models dressed in a slanket....

[hoosiergirl]

I've seen commercials for something called a "Snugli" (sp???). I think it's the same idea - a blanket with sleeves. Also the infomercial does a 2 for 1 thing and I think it's 19.95 or so.
You might try googling it.

I ordered this blanket for my mom, she will love it because she is continuously cold all winter long. This is perfect for her while she sews and reads.

I don't believe the Slanket was invented to be any type of a fashion statement and I HIGHLY doubt my mom will be wearing it out of the house.

OMG- could you see her grocery shopping at Wegmans with this wrapped around her!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

[Jaclnta]

Many years ago my sister boiught something like a slanket for our mother. One evening Mom was zipped up inside the thing when the phone rang. She forgot she was zippered in the damned blanket and got up to answer the phone, only to fall flat on her face. Luckily she wasn't injured.

The blanket went to St. Vincent de Paul the next day.

I dont believe this is a look we will ever EVER see on our mom walking out of the house to go anywhere. LOL

When I saw the first Slanket presented, I couldn't imagine why anyone would buy that. I use a soft blanket/throw when I'm cold watching TV. Then the TSV Slanket day came and my husband saw it and said I ought to get it. I said no thanks. But he kept after me during the day and I ordered it in the deep green. It came and I absolutely love it! No one was more surprised than me. It is very soft on both sides and is easy to slip on and off when I need to get up or have a hot flash. The size is perfect and I've even worn it once to answer the phone. But the main use is to snuggle in and still have your arms available to do other things. I use my laptop (like now) and my arms stay warm while I type. It's much easier to maneuver than a robe or sweater. I love it and will take it on car trips, too.

[tooncey2]

I got mine last year - this thing rocks!!

[JequelinJones]

You all know you want a Slanket ~ admit it!!! =)

[bichonlady]

I ordered the Slanket for my 81 year-old mother (who lives with me) as a Christmas gift and then began regretting it after I read the posts here. I almost sent it back, but decided to give it to her anyway. She absolutely loves it! She can sit in her recliner and do her crossword puzzles and read the paper and she is totally warm the entire time. I borrowed it the other day to take a nap and I loved it, too! Glad I didn't return it!

I am happy your mom loves her Slanket, I gave one to my mom for Christmas and she has used hers already and LOVES it. I am so glad I bought it for her.

[Happy One]

I ordered a slankit too. It sure is ugly but everyone loves it.

[Luv2shoptheQ]

It may be "pathetic and dorky" looking, but that kid is laughing all the way to the bank! I say good for him!!! Wish I'd thought of it.

[pink polka dots]

It's warm and comfy. The guy who designed this must be raking in the $$$$.

[pink polka dots__]

Thats how you make money like I did girls. You find a rich one and take him for all he's got. Thats what mother always taught me when she was around 3 times a year when I was growing up way back then.

[gossamer]

my wives tried that taking me for all i was worth and they got nothing to good a lawyer.i kept all my earnings.and the house and all the money ,the cars,trucks ,harleys the vacation place they received not a thing.

[pink polka dots__]

well obvioulsly your wives arent as smart as I am. My mother taught me all I know on how to take a man for all he's got. You're probably a loser too and worth nothing

[gossamer]

[pink polka dots__]

Oh right, and you expect me to believe that?

Let me tell you something. You can't spell therefore you are an low class pauper with no funds. You're wife left you cause you had no money.

When are you going to get it through your head that women like myself, the upper elite class, have no desire for poor folk like you with no money. If you cannot provide what I am used to, well I guess you are a poor loser in life and always will be.

Real estate tycoon, oh PLEASE LMAO!

I agree with you. Bill is impersonating me because I gave him an infraction for profanity. Since then he has been harassing me. Every time I post something he gives me an infraction and then posts as pink polka dots_. It's getting ridiculous and he's been reported. I used to like reading the posts and contributing.

[yippie9]

You are so right. bill is very infantile for a man in his fifties, or any age for that matter.

[gossamer]

poka dot you do the same thing so your calling the kettle black you gave me one my first day because i didn't agree with you about geo,bush.so your doing the same thing as bill if you not bill.

It's polka not poka. you are a total idiot. No one knows what the hell you're trying to say, IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[teachermominva]

I bought these for my 2 sons' girlfriends age 21 and 23 and my daughter, 19, for Christmas. They absolutely love them. They took pictures in front of the tree and posted them on Facebook. My boys fought the girls for them over that weekend. Both girls are in college, living in drafty apartments and tell me they use the slankets quite often. Wish I'd thought of this.

[denden1981]

Hey Bill you think it is funny giving warnings when you talk trash i am not scared of you Whimp

[Jac1nta]

I couldn't believe the local radio reports that several bars/pubs in the NYC area will be having "Slanket Parties" next month. The idea is that you go to the bar wearing a slanket and pay admission. You get to watch the basketball playoffs and enjoy a special party. The proceeds go to charity.

[beekeeper]

I love anything for Charity! And, at least if you have to look silly, you won't be alone! lol ...
