Knowing exactly what I wanted, My step-mother (who will be referred to as SM from now on) ordered me a Snuggie for Christmas. I just got it today! Apparently Snuggies are are in very high demand, because it was six weeks back-ordered! My SM had received a card in the mail (the day before Christmas Eve), notifying her of the delay with the order. Along with the note, the Snuggie people thoughtfully included a link to an online photo of the Snuggie that people could print out and wrap up so that the recipients of the late Snuggie would have something to open on Christmas morning. I found that highly amusing. Sadly, my SM opted not to print out the photo, but I decided not to hold that against her.
Now I can rest easy, because I have my Snuggie. Despite the economic hard times, my SM shelled out the extra dinero for the Snuggie with the extra luxurious fleece fabric and handy pockets. It is delightful. I'm very warm, and my arms never have to leave the comfort of the blanket!
If I was forced to single out one point that could lead to the Snugggies demise, it would be this: it's not very stylish or flattering. In fact, it's ridiculous looking (as you can all tell from the above pictures). So being up for a challenge, I attempted to glamorize my Snuggie.
As you can see, I gave it a valiant effort:
I've belted the waist and draped the fabric into a cowl neck. Of course I also popped in my faux diamond studs and added a lil' lip gloss and rouge. And from the back:
I've formed the luxurious fleece into a low open back! And you can't see a lot of it, but there is a sexy slit up the back! In my opinion, this isn't that far a stretch from some of the frocks celebs wear to award shows. AND if you really want to know what I think, I'd say the tremendous coverage leaves more to the imagination. Final point: if I'd been fortunate enough to have been invited to an inauguration ball, I'd be donning this.
I am in awe of your Snuggie talents. This is great and it made me LOL on Friday the 13th. I hope you're a fashion designer! If not, you have missed your calling.

maybe Snuggie should pay you to advertise for them

There are currently over 50 listings for the Snuggie on eBay if you also want the free book light, and over 100 listings without the book light. Prices start at 99 cents and some sellers are offering free shipping.
