Get On Your Snuggie

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009 / Product Reviews, Videos / Author: Shawn

I broke down and bought a Snuggie today.

My cubicle has been moved at work. As a result, I am sitting straight under an A/C vent. Being that I work with computers, we need the A/C. So guess what? I’m getting cold.

This morning, I was freezing. I found it hard to get some work done. So, for lunch, I went a got a Snuggie at the nearby Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I ended up getting the Breast Cancer Pink Snuggie.

What prompted me to get a Snuggie? The sleeves part. I mainly got it to cover my upper chest area. My jacket yesterday wasn’t cutting it. Also, I don’t like my arms feeling constricted.

I fell for the Snuggie gimmick!

Actually, I’m not upset at myself for getting a Snuggie. I see it as a way to combat a problem preventing me from being productive. Now, I can be warm and still do my work.

When I go back to work, one of my co-workers saw I got the Snuggie. She wanted to see what it looked like and watched as I opened the box. A few other people noticed I had a Snuggie, too.

So what do I think of it? Well, the fleece is keeping my upper chest area warm. That’s the main function and it’s doing it well. I don’t really need it at full length. The full length has been getting caught in my chair wheels. To stop that, I have had to bunch the Snuggie up on my lap. Also, I don’t like the feeling of it falling off my shoulders. That’s the problem with any front loading piece of clothing. I wish there was a latch in the back to keep it stable. Notice how you never see the backs of anyone in a Snuggie ad?  Also, the fleece seems to be a lower quality fleece.

Hey, as long as it does it’s job in keeping me warm and free to do my work, I will keep it.  I just need it to function.
