Prudent Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I didn't get one, but my parents bought one for each of my sisters. I can't see myself ever using one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm glad you included an 'other'. ;) I gave my younger son a snuggie for Christmas and he loves it. Until just a week ago, it was the only think he had asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMA Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 They even had Snuggies for dogs. I saw some in CVS (may have been another brand). I tried to buy one for my MIL's dog but she wouldn't let me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista in LA Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I didn't get one, but we got one for my dd14 and she and her cats love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeefreak Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 https://www.getsnuggie.com/flare/next My Mom, Sister and I all got Snuggies. My dd's are very jealous. It totally cracks me up! My oldest took a piece of fleece and made one for her Build-a-Bear. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 They even had Snuggies for dogs. I saw some in CVS (may have been another brand). I tried to buy one for my MIL's dog but she wouldn't let me. Dd8 was very disappointed that I didn't get one for our English Springer Spaniel! I told her that she has a warm enough coat of her own.

emzhengjiu Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I bought a pink one for my 9yo DD who is aways cold. She loves it. There were plenty of blue ones but it took me forever to find a kid's one in pink. I must have searched every store within miles of our apartment before I found one and only one. My 12 yo old and I don't care for snuggies but I bought myself a heated throw as an early Christmas present. My throw is wonderful and worth its weight in gold on cold mornings. I have it covering my lap now even though it's not that cold this afternoon. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 No way, those are hilarious. We live in SoCal so uhm, no, we don't have a snuggie. We would swelter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajama Mama Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I voted other. Before Christmas, Amazon was having a sale on snuggie look a likes. So I got 4 snuggie look a likes for $30. I didn't care if they were the name brand or not. I gave them to the kids before Christmas. We cyberschool so they spend some morning time in front of the computer. They always complain about being cold so I got the snuggie things for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melenie Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I got a pink one! DH and I don't usually do gifts, but he bought me one, I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I told my family weeks before Christmas that I absolutely did NOT want a Snuggie, and I'm glad to report that no one got me one. :tongue_smilie: Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in MO Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 after a friend told me that a snuggie was just a bathrobe turned backwards, it somehow lost its appeal! :lol: Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto3 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I chose other because I got mine in Oct for my 30th birthday. It's the leopard one. My sister got the pink breast cancer one from her dh for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineinKS Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I voted "Other" ~ I didn't get a Snuggie, but my 9-year-old DD got a pink one & she loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 DH makes disparaging jokes about Snuggies fairly regularly. DD and I considered buying him a pink one but since we're short on money, we didn't waste it on one. Besides, in a home for 4 cats and a dog, fleece is evil.

joannqn Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Ok, I just watched the ad on the website and had to laugh. It talks about being cold and how the snuggie keeps you comfy and warm, with your hands free so you can snuggle with your baby, who's not in the snuggie. Really! How mean can you be? If you are so cold that you need a snuggie, what about poor baby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 So it wasn't technically a Christmas present. I'm always cold in the wintertime, and the Snuggie isn't nearly as thick and warm as I had hoped. I prefer the heated throw that EK got me for Christmas a couple of years ago.

Halftime Hope Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 ah know, them is fightin' words... Seriously though, I felt of a Snuggie at Macy's and forebad my boys to buy one for their sister. The fabric of those particular ones felt like airline blankets--YUK! Instead they pooled their resource and bought a *very nice* snuggie clone from Brookstone. The fabric is heavenly...soft and plush. I can't seem to make a link work. She's been wearing it for several days, while watching her Chalkdust SAT review videos. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I voted other because I didn't even rate a real snuggie in my MILs book. I got a dime store knock off called a "Cozy UP" I didn't want one at all, but she thought it was a good gift because I complained I was cold when we visited over Thanksgiving. (I complained because the thermostat said it was 62 degrees inside the house and it was 27 outside, we all complained that we were cold) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3byzaz Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I did - but I am taking it back...very disappointing. It is very thin and tooo long in the arms and at the bottom! I am always freezing, so I thought it would be nice. Not so much!! I told my mom I would take it back to put towards a new shower curtain for my bathroom!!! :D My sil made us (well...it's mine now though!) a very warm fleece D-Backs blanket with the ties. I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I chose other because in the weeks before Christmas I bought one each for myself, ds, and dd (dh wouldn't be caught dead in one). I actually don't like it as much as I thought I would :glare: and they are too big on the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've heard that snuggies are basically robes the wearer puts on backwards. I'm sticking to the robe, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 No snuggie, but I did get a full-length (for me anyways), thick, plush, super warm robe. I love it and will take it over the snuggie any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsiew Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 both my dh and I got one, but it's not a snuggie... it's a different one... I think I like it better than the snuggie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Mouse Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 My brother sent snuggies for the entire family. It was more of a gag gift than anything. He did it to be funny. My ds is glad he got one, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I voted Other. There is one at my mom's place (that we have less than a week to clear out) and we have been arguing over who gets it. One of us was supposed to have wrapped it up for Christmas and drawn a name to give it to:). I have often used the original snuggie (a robe worn backwards) when watching TV or reading in bed.

i.love.lucy Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Both my dd and I got one from my mom. Her's is pink and mine is leopard!

MrsMe Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 No, but I would have loved one....I'm always, always cold. My attire consists of anything that can be worn over a man's long underwear shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Where do u get a Cookie Monster snuggie? I only see plain color ones or a leopard one.

SapphireStitch Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 No Snuggie here, but DH got me a heated plush throw blanket that is absolutely wooonnnnddderrrfullll.....:hurray: It's like a small, thicker version of an electric blanket. We talked about getting one for each of our moms, so when DH went to buy them at Costco he bought one for me, too. I am always cold in the evenings and when I'm cold my fibro pain flairs up more, so this is a real blessing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Wait, they open in the back??? Don't you feel like you're wearing a hospital gown? I had thought it was like a housecoat-type thing where it went on over your head. We got one (to give) for the gift exchange at DHs company Christmas party...it was one of 3. DD9 really wants one...she'll have to make do with her robe for now.

tatertotschool Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I did. It reminds me of an airline blanket- except with arms. I kept mine because it has "Alabama" printed all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cin Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I voted no. I didn't get one. I'm watching for the electric blankets to go on clearance. I want to get a twin one for my recliner. And, I'm making them for the family for next Christmas. I found a simple pattern online last fall. I just didn't get my sewing room together in time for THIS Christmas. I do believe that they will be a BIG hit with the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeefreak Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Where do u get a Cookie Monster snuggie? I only see plain color ones or a leopard one. It's just a bright, brilliant blue. My kids say I look like cookie monster when I use it. We all fight over it, which is hilarious! I bet you could make one very easily. I'm sure there will be all sorts of patterns so you can use your own fleece within a month! Everyone is right, it's very long, it's a backwards bathrobe, the sleeves are long. . .But I have decided I LOVE it!:001_wub: Sigh, who know a cheap piece of novelty fleece would be so worth it?
