Unfortunately, as much as I wish my significant other is always available in these moments to — you know — create a little body heat with me, I know that’s just wishful thinking on my part. But I don’t mind, because as long as I have my SLANKET (www.theslanket.com ), I can cuddle up alone and not feel the least bit guilty.

The SLANKET is exactly what it sounds like: part shirt and part blanket! Ideal for snuggling up with a book, laptop computer, your spouse, your dog, whatever. Just slip your arms in the 13-inch-wide sleeves while the rest of your body slips into the wrap-around fleece blanket and you’re ready to read your favorite book, listen to music or whatever else it is that suits you and you can do so with full mobility of your arms.

For years I’ve depended on blankets but more often than not what happens? The blanket slips off you while you doze off to sleep, or it’s wrapped around you so tightly you can’t even move! Not so with the SLANKET!

The generously sized SLANKET is created out of a mid-weight polyester fleece that feels great and keeps you warm indoors or out. The SLANKET is available in five colors and machine washable. And best of all, the SLANKET has lots of room to roll around in thanks to its measurements of 60-inches-WIDE x 95-inches-LONG. I don’t think my wife can even match those specifications.

The SLANKET makes a great gift and if your significant other had even a shred of decency within her/him, they would forsake presenting you with yet another wooden duck or pen-holder and get you something you can really wrap your arms around – the SLANKET.

Relaxing after a hard day’s work was never so intimate.
