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.

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!

They look very warm. I would like the limoges color.
I love that I could keep warm on a chilly winter evening, and still have my hands free to knit! I like the Castlerock color.
I would most love to win the Ruby Wine Slanket!
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!
I love that it’s snuggly warm fleece. If I win i’d pick the Alaskan Blue

I like the limoges color. I love that the Slanket will keep me warm when I’m surfing on my computer or watching tv.
Now this is a great idea. Looks so warm and cuddly but has an easy way to still move around without the blanket falling off. I really like the Alaskan Blue color.
I love that the first Slanket was sewn by the creator’s mother! I’d like it in Hunter Green.

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

Thanks for the giveaway!
It’s a blanket you can move in and I like the alaskan blue
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 about it is that it is all one piece and nice and cozy.
I prefer the beige
I love the fact that it keeps the arms free while warming you everywhere! I would pick the ruby wine color – it’s great
I like that I can read my books and still have my arms covered. If I was to win I’d want the Texas Tea.

I would love one to keep warm instead of covering up with a blanet. Then I could move around the house and have free arms to do things also. I like the Ruby Wine color!

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!
I love the sleeves so I can knit & my favorite color is the Pink Armour. Thanks!
I like that it keeps you warm even when you move around. I would choose bloom!
Sofa Safari Slanket – CUTE

Either the limoges blue or the Alaskan Blue…both shades are beautiful
My son loves everything about the Slanket and has wanted one forever! He would enjoy any of them but perhaps the limoges color best.
I tweeted – http://twitter.com/sweetypet
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!

I like moss green. This would be a great gift for my mom this xmas. Her new house is drafty and she’s constantly complaining about how cold it is. Thanks!
My fiance really wants one of these! These seem more comfortable than the competitors. I would get the chocolate color for him (and me!)

My favorite is the First Light Yellow. I love that this is a wonderful product that is just ingenious and the company is charitable as well.
I follow and tweeted http://twitter.com/eyzofblu63/status/4807949571
I love to get all cuddled up with a blanket on my couch and read. A blanket can be awkward however, this would be ideal for me because of the sleeves. I love the Moss Green.

Can you believe that both of my girls asked for one of these for Christmas yesterday? lol
I love that it’s non pilling. I hate when blankets do that. It makes them rough on the skin. I would love to have the alaskan blue one. Thank you!!
I like that it leaves your hands free and that it looks so cozy. I would pick the Moss Green if I won. jelly15301@gmail.com
I love that it looks comfy and the moss green color is great.

I’d choose the chocolate color. I especially like the idea of them donating to NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL.
I like that it is one size fits all. I would get chocolate.
I like that these look so warm and soft and have the arms so you can actually do things while staying covered. Given the new exciting patterns, I think I’d go for the pirate print!!

I like this about the Slanket – it’s machine washable.
And my favorite color is Moss Green.
I love that it fits over your arms better than a regular blanket.
I’d choose ruby red.

I like how it covers, the Chocolate one.

I love that the hands are free but the arms stay warm. I like Chocolate.
It’s large enough to keep me covered and still allow me some flexibility to cuddle with the kids, read a book or just mummify on the couch – and the ruby wine color defines warm & cozy!
I’m following you on Twitter, and I tweeted!

I love that it is large enough so that my feet won’t stick out, and that it is machine washable. I would like the chocolate color.
I would like the slanket in limoges and I think the oversized sleeves would come in handy.
I love that I could be warm and comfortable and have my hands free for the computer or cup of hot tea or whatever, instead of trying to wrap up in a blanket that slides down or tangles up. I’d choose Moss Green.

What’s not to love about the Slanket? It is the original hands-free blanket large enough to cover you up and keep your hands free. I need one (for my mom who is always cold) in Ruby
I like that your hands are free while the rest of you remains covered. I like the Alaskan Blue.
