Keep your hands free & stay warm with The Slanket *Review & Giveaway* (Closed)

Here in Iowa, our weather has already turned colder. While I like to curl up in the corner of my couch and watch TV, work on the computer or cuddle with the kids, I don’t always like to cover up with a blanket that slips off every time we move. The Slanket is perfect for cuddling up and having a soft blanket around you that fit all your needs and keeps you warm.

slanket

The Slanket is a gigantic fleece blanket with sleeves. A very soft to the touch, lightweight, but warm fleece blanket with large, loose sleeves designed so you don’t feel like you’re wearing the blanket, simply wrapped up in its wonder. The Slanket is designed to keep your entire body covered and cozy while you still retain the use of your hands. Simplistic and practical, its innovativeness opens up possibilities, but still can replace any normal blanket. Size: 60″W x 95″L

In a few weeks, we are going to a Bears game in chilly Chicago, and you can bet that I will be taking the Slanket with me to keep warm, while keeping my hands free to cheer on the game!

I will be honest and say that when I first heard of the Slanket, I was like ‘Why would anyone want or need one of those?’ Well, The Slanket proved me that I not only needed a Slanket, but I love my Slanket! I love how it has arm holes and a collar to keep you warm, while leaving your hands free to work, read, cuddle the little ones, or flip channels.

Who is the Slanket for? Well, anyone! If you are 4 feet tall or 6 feet tall, this is perfect!

How much is the Slanket? For the adult size, it is right around $38.00. Do I think this is worth it? Absolutely! I think the Slanket is a great gift idea this holiday season!

What improvements does the Slanket need? Nothing! It is comfortable. It is affordable. It comes in a wide selection of colors.

Go to www.theslanket.com for more information, wide selection of colors and even Slankets for the kids!

    I would love it because it’s soft & warm & with the sleeves I can hold a book or the remote without taking my arms out from under the covers!

    Simply Brillant!

    What I really love about the Slanket is the size itself, its so huge, large enough to fit pretty much any size person and the fact that its machine washable is awesome. I would choose the color royale.

    Awesome giveaway. Please enter me. Thanks

    Royale looks like a lavendar! I looked at these all last winter, but I was disappointed not to see my favorite color. Now, I can be happy! I’d use this in the computer room, which gets freezing cold in winter. At last, I can be snuggly warm and still get my hands free to type!

    What I love most about the Slanket is that, compared to its competitors, it seems to have the largest size, which is a big plus for taller consumers like me, and its microfibers seem to be a superior fabric (i.e., the softest!). I love the selection of colors as well, and I’d have a hard time choosing between the camo and the “arghh!” both of which are really cool. Thanks!

    Oh how I would love one of these in ROYALE!

    I love that they also come in kids size and travel size and so many wonderful colors and patterns. A nice bonus – each product sold gives a portion of the sale to one of several various charities.

    Great for snuggling up with a book or a movie and a cup of hot chocolate or for those late nights at the computer. And the Siamese would be awesome for cozying up with hubby while watching our fave shows. I’m adding the Slanket to my holiday shopping and wish lists for sure!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
