I didn’t get a “hoodie footie,” which is basically a onesie without the trap door, but I did get a fleece blankie. It’s in a blue plaid pattern. So far, so good. I like blue. Plaid’s alright.
Much to my surprise, it came with armholes and sleeves. Okay, if I can tuck those sleeve things in, underneath a down comforter, and somehow stop the static electricity it generates, it’ll make a nice blankie.
I don’t hate it. I rather like it, as a matter of fact. It’s just that its use is not the one the manufacturer intended, and I’m sure it’s nowhere near as warm as one of my Hudson Bay blankets.
I’ve got a zebra striped one, but I’m short enough that I trip over the thing walking across my apartment wearing it. LOL but it keeps me warm at my computer where I have a draft coming in the window.
This one doesn’t quite come down to my ankles, so I can’t trip over it.
I also can’t keep it over my shoulders, no matter how hard I try. It’s destined to become a blanket.
I saw those adult-sized onesies in Target the other day. Kind of creepy!
Aside from the creepiness factor, which certainly exists, there’s something fundamentally wrong with having to strip down to the ankles to use the john. Brrr.
Agreed … I have one of those things, and it’s great for staying warm right up until you need a potty break!
We got the kid a Snuggie. She’d been joking about how if she HAD one, she could be warm on the couch and still pet the cats, play video games. When we bought the thing, a guy in line at the register was amazed to see someone doing so. We also got her a Pillow Pet. She’s pleased 🙂
