Blanket Statement

Kristen Gregory’s Swankets

If you see one more commercial for the ever-loving Snuggie, you’re going to strangle somebody.

And you’ll be totally warm in your homicidal bliss, thanks to Kristen Gregory’s Swanket.

A locally made version of the ubiquitous robe/blanket combo, the snug, floor-length numbers are made to order from cotton and fleece — and sewn right in Fishtown.

Avail in child or adult sizes, they’re great for petting pets, drinking drinks, or doing any household task swaddled in warmth. They can accommodate couples, too, when you’re cuddled up and need your hands free.

For reading, of course.
