Holiday Hoopla Series #9 - Stay Warm With A Slanket

How it all started?

"One subzero night in 1998 during my first semester of college I could not escape Maine's winter bite. While watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien I decided I needed to tear a hole in my sleeping bag so I could keep my upper body warm as I channel surfed during the commercial breaks. During Christmas vacation I commissioned the first Slanket to be made by my mother...and it was born.

Everyone behind the The Slanket is on the same level when it comes to life. Besides creating a product to make people comfortable and warm, our life goals are not to accumulate mansions, SUV's, expensive watches and closets just for shoes. What we want in life is to travel the world and experience all its cultures while representing humanity positively. Whether surfing in Costa Rica, snowboarding in Austria, or studying language in South America and China, we love to spread our sleeves and let them flap in the wind, giving back in the process. BUT... there is nothing like coming home, wrapping up in THE SLANKET on your own couch and feeling the warmth of your friends and family."
- Gary from Slanket

Slanket generously sent me a chocolate brown slanket to try out for review. I was a bit skeptical if this would be all it was cracked up to be, but it has exceeded my expectations. My husband is a big guy....6 ft 2 inches, long legs and arms, and I thought for sure this wouldn't be big enough for him, but it was and then some. The arm holes are extra long as well so that you stay covered and stay warm. It's a thick material that is very soft to the touch and very inviting. We haven't turned our heat on yet, and it's 32 degrees outside right now...I'm serious! The Slanket is saving us money on our heating expenses big time.

For those individuals in your life who are always cold...the Slanket is the perfect gift idea!
