But is it justified?<\/p>\n<p>I received a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsnuggie.com\/flare\/next\">Snuggie<\/a><\/strong> as part gag gift, part well-if-you-like-it gift. I believe it came from Bed, Bath &amp; Beyond. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-137910\" src=\"http:\/\/images1.blisstree.com\/files\/2010\/01\/pink-snuggie-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"pink-snuggie\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>My Snuggie is pink to signify that a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/alcohol-tied-to-breast-cancer-recurrence\/\">breast cancer<\/a> research donation was made from its sale. I think that idea is very nice, but they could have just put a pink ribbon on a gray blanket instead. How many of us have pink decor?<\/p>\n<p>The free book light that was included was passable for a free item. I like how it opens up, but I could never get it angled the way I needed it to be helpful for reading. The Snuggie website and the fact that they throw in a free item makes the whole deal seem very infomercial. I think that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re going for though.<\/p>\n<p>As for quality, I&#8217;d give the product a B minus. The <strong>fleece seems cheap<\/strong> and not very durable. If you hold the Snuggie up, you can see light through it. When compared to a higher quality fleece, the Snuggie fabric looks like little balls of fleece on a background, rather than a solid piece of fleece. However, it is warm and lightweight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Be sure to wash your Snuggie before allowing it on your clothes. I opened mine just to check it out briefly and was soon covered with pink debris.<\/p>\n<p>I can complain about quality all day, but the truth is that <strong>I use the Snuggie<\/strong>. I don&#8217;t always put my arms into the holes while sitting on the sofa, but that option is there if I feel especially cold. I&#8217;ve also been able to utilize the Snuggie during late-night blogging sessions when it gets rather chilly in my office. (I&#8217;m trying to keep the thermostat down to save energy.)<\/p>\n<p>In all, I&#8217;d say if you&#8217;re getting this for yourself, you know what to expect, a low-quality novelty product you might actually use. If you&#8217;re getting this as a gag gift, perfect, but rather expensive for a joke. If you don&#8217;t know whether someone would like a Snuggie, you should probably look for something different.<\/p>\n<p>How do you feel about Snuggie?<\/p>\n<p>(Image via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ALLSTAR-PRODUCTS-GROUP-LLC-SNO61106\/dp\/B002R6A70S\">amazon<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/is-snuggie-really-all-that\/\">Is Snuggie Really All That?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snuggie, the blanket with sleeves, is becoming a phenomenon.
