Got You Covered

The Slanket Blanket

Looks can be deceiving.

Unless, of course, someone happens to see those pizza box checker boards and candy wrapper origami swans sitting between you and your TV. In that case, one thing becomes perfectly clear: You don’t get out much.

Which is precisely why you’ll be crazy for the Slanket. This genius invention takes an enormous blanket and adds two gigantic sleeves. So you simply slide your arms through the openings, grab the remote (popcorn, book, whatever), and go about your slacking off. Business as usual.

When the time comes to perform a simple task (changing the channel, snacking, composing a catchy jingle) you can accomplish it with the same minimal effort as before. The only difference is that you remain fully covered.

So you won’t need to expose your delicate appendages to the bitter elements until you finally decide it’s time to go outside.

Though Lord knows why you’d ever want to do that.
