For those of you who wish Halloween was a year-long affair or still dream of being a super hero(ine), we have some good news for you. Some genius is trying to capitalize on the dwindling Snuggie craze by creating Snuggie-esque wraps that feature Superman and Wonder Woman on the front. Like the Snuggie, these comfy wraps protect from the cold, leave hands free, and make you look as ridiculous in front as you look in back. Would you wear a super heroine wrap? [Fashionably Geek]
The Snuggie armchair: it appears to be an actual thing. Or is it a Slanket armchair? The website that sells this atrocity is in French, so we will defer to our Parisian correspondent Leonora’s translation. But my hunch is that the copy reads, “You stupid Americans, why would you buy a Snuggie armchair when you could just sit in your Snuggie on a chair?! Or get in bed?! Fools!” [LikeCool.com via Superette] Keep reading »
This is what is wrong with society today. Just a few decades ago, people had the opportunity to have a sensual carpet experience that promised a threesome-like result. Now, all we have is a glorified backwards robe. I suppose you could cut the sleeves off your Snuggie and try doing the dirty on it, but something tells me you wouldn’t get many takers. Therefore, I demand a return of the Love Rug! Keep reading »
Last week, I discovered the Snazzy Napper, which, in my opinion, is way more edgy than the Snuggie. But the Snuggie will not go gently into that good night. In an effort to remain competitive in the ever-evolving sleep accessory market, the Snuggie is diversifying with new limited-edition prints and a new ad campaign … to the tune of “Macarena.” Oh my.

We are officially horrified. Snuggie has decided to make a genuine fur backwards bathrobe product line, which will be endorsed by some serious star power. Not that we are PETA-crazed or anything, but no animal should ever have to die for a Snuggie! And speaking of PETA, you know they got all up on this shiz. The group slammed the slanket makers via spokesperson Pam Anderson, who said, “It is disappointing seeing stars like Aretha Franklin and Madonna glamorize dead animals. I have the pink Snuggie and would love a faux-fur one.” Girl, you lost us at “I have the pink Snuggie.” Anyway, the animal rights activists are already prepping a counter campaign. As for the unnamed celebrities endorsing the fur Snuggie, we think Kanye and Amber are shoe-ins. [TreeHugger.com] Keep reading »
When I began working from home, I easily fell into the freelancer traps that are at first appealing, then disgusting. See: working in bed, not wearing pants all day, etc. Near a breaking point, I instituted new rules in order to maintain a semi-normal lifestyle. Bra must go on by 10 a.m. You must wear “real” clothes. Of course, I’ve managed to find loopholes in my own rules. No stretchy pants allowed? Voilà the anti-pajama: sequin leggings. Underwear a must? Oh, no, this is one of those can’t-wear-a-bra-with-it tops, I swear. And now I’m secretly gleeful that an Icelandic design company has stepped in and taken the Snuggie high-concept, totally legitimizing my desire to make it my new freelancer’s uniform. Vík Prjónsdóttir (yeah, I have no idea how that’s pronounced) presents glorified blankets inspired by the days of yore and traditional folklore. With arm holes, and even built-in booties and gloves, these cover-ups are meant to be worn. There’s even a double-hooded one meant for sharing. Check out some more pics after the jump!

You can learn a lot from this video. For example, even though I’m the Style Editor here at The Frisky, I was not aware that “footed PHs for women are all the rage” right now. Really!? Good to know, good to know. In combining slippers, a hoodie and a blanket, the new Hoodie-Footie Snuggle Suit rips a page right out of the ever-popular Snuggie handbook by insisting that blankets are hazardous, inconvenient and completely restrict your movement, which as we all know by now, is so sadly true. But this time, there are also economic reasons why you simply must slip into one, as they insist that these puppies will totally cut down your heating bills! With the Hoodie-Footie priced at a whopping $49.95, you’ll probably need all that extra cash anyway. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »
I have to say, the first time I set eyes on the Sleep Suit, I knew I had to have it. A Snuggie-like suit that enabled me to fall asleep anywhere? Yes, please! Usually, if you go to sleep, you do it at home, at night, in your bed. Not so with the Sleep Suit! It’s made of stiff, pleated, shock-absorbent EVA foam, which means you can abruptly pass out just about anywhere — at your desk, on a hillside, in a stairwell — and, voilà, you are your own bed! It’s like a cocoon for the nap-happy. I want one stat, dammit. I’ve got some sleeping-in-public to do. [Blogitecture] Keep reading »
The Japanese two-legged sleeping bag is amazing, not because it’s a revolutionary design, but because someone thought people would actually want it. There’s no way any infomercial spokesperson would touch this thing. [Impact Lab] Keep reading »
Copyranter just uncovered what could be considered the precursor to the Snuggie/Slanket craze — a onesie with feet called “The Bundler” was THE “sleeper” gift of the holiday season in 1975. The Bundler is far more body-conscious than its modern counterparts, thanks to the fetching rope belt. Step up your game, Snuggie! [Copyranter] Keep reading »
