THIS CONTEST HAS NOW ENDED. CONGRATULATIONS CAT @ 3 KIDS AND US!
These days most are looking for ways to save money. That desire teamed with the trend to “go green” has many turning down their thermostats this winter. What a perfect time to get a Slanket!
The Slanket consists of an oversized fleece blanket that has long fleece sleeves. The concept is that you can cuddle up in a blanket but still have your hands free. The Slanket is machine washable and made of 100% Super Soft Polyester Micro-fibers. Another advantage? The Slanket does not pill!
The Slanket makes the perfect gift for that hard to shop for person on your gift list. At $44.95 it is competitive with most large fleece blankets and falls just under that $50 gift range. Priced at $29.99 The Slanket kids, a smaller version of the Slanket, is an excellent santa gift.
Read about the origins of the Slanket in their own words,
“One subzero night in 1998 during my first semester of college I could not escape Maine’s winter bite. While watching Late Night with Conan O’Brien I decided I needed to tear a hole in my sleeping bag so I could keep my upper body warm as I channel surfed during the commercial breaks. During Christmas vacation I commissioned the first Slanket to be made by my mother…and it was born.
Everyone behind the The Slanket is on the same level when it comes to life. Besides creating a product to make people comfortable and warm, our life goals are not to accumulate mansions, SUV’s, expensive watches and closets just for shoes. What we want in life is to travel the world and experience all its cultures while representing humanity positively. Whether surfing in Costa Rica, snowboarding in Austria, or studying language in South America and China, we love to spread our sleeves and let them flap in the wind, giving back in the process. BUT… there is nothing like coming home, wrapping up in THE SLANKET on your own couch and feeling the warmth of your friends and family.” -GARY
The Slanket also gives back! A percentage of the proceeds go to support charities such as The Breast Cancer Research Society and H2O Africa.

Slanketeering? Doesn’t sound nice does it? But I’m a full fledged fan now. I want mine in Moss Green. I hope they expand the colors available for the kids. I think they would sell a ton of Alaskan Blue and Lavender for kids during the holidays.

It would be great to win one of these. I would love to give one to my husband for Christmas. It would be perfect when he is up late at night doing paperwork after everyone is gone to bed. I’ve seen him hunched at the computer trying to type while wrapped halfway in a blanket. I know exactly what those college students were talking about.
