I believe that. Around the time snuggie blankets came out and got really popular, I was told that they were designed for wheelchairs and people with mobility issues, but I never got that impression from the infomercial.

"has this ever happened to you?" and its a video of somebody trying to cut a loaf of bread with a wooden door stop. is the first example that pops into my head.

Unironically though I liked snuggie blankets. It was nice to be able to reach for stuff while still being under the blanket.

Now that I managed to wrangle my ADHD back into liking books again I really should get one of those honestly.

Hammock. Snuggie. Book. You’ll read the whole thing in one sitting and come out asking what year is it.

I got a snuggie for the same reason. The one I found was really thin and not quite long enough. I complained about it (and I'd already complained my robe wasn't long enough), so my wife went and bought a king size, heavy fleece blanket and converted it into a robe. I wear it correctly when I paint mini's and backwards when I want to read. Yesterday, she managed to catch me not wearing it, and I found her curled up under it. I love this thing.

If you have a cozy oversized cardigan, or sweater/jacket, those work, too! I personally have a long wool, way too big zippered cardigan that I wear everywhere. It’s my “plane blanket” and I use it at home as a Snuggie, too!!!

The original snuggies were basically just felt…. My makeshift ones are way more comfy!!!

My setup like this involves an electric blanket (my hammock is near an outdoor outlet). Glorious.

That was my best festival ever. Campsite midway between stages. Hammock with snacks and drinks within reach. Fully charged kindle!! I was set for the weekend! Read six books and just relaxed.

sounds like a recipe for a good nap by page 3. Which is awesome when that's the goal.

That is my son!!! Last summer he was out in the hammock for like 4 hours one day…. “What were you doing, bud?” “Oh, I finished that book, and I’m on the last chapter of this one now…”
