I have to admit I'm supprised at the number of different snuggies that seem to be just comming out of the woodwork, but I've found another one that is very fitting for NBCAM. Snuggie is offering a limited edition pink snuggie. Snuggie is donating $50,000 of the sales from their pink snuggie to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Its pink, it keeps you warm AND it's helping to fight breast cancer... this is one heck of a "blanket!"
The best way I can describe this is a sling for your chin that helps keep your jaw up and mouth in a closed position. While I'm no expert in the "how to get better sleep" department, it seems like a rather interesting way to help keep the wearer's airway open at night. A long time ago when I was a young kid, I had to wear head gear at night for my braces. It wasn't the easiest thing for me to fall asleep with that thing wrapped around my head so I think I would have the same problems with this. There are though, many people out there who have tried different pillows, beds, and even sleeping on sofas just to try and get a better night's sleep and this could be something worth looking into if you are really looking to improve your or your partners sleep.

So, just when I think I've seen all that Snuggie has to offer my cold body, and my cold pet, I find a Snuggie that's perfect for taking to those cold winter football games. That's right folks, the Collegiate Snuggie comes in many of your favorite college team colors but still offers the same warmth and comfort of the original. They have more than 50 different teams to choose from like Ohio State University, University of Nebraska, LSU and Rutgers.
I haven't had the chance to see a Snuggie in person just yet, however some friends that I will see this weekend have some, so hopefully I will see just how awesome they are. All that said, this weekend I came across something even more unusual than the Snuggie, a Snuggie for dogs. Now since I haven't seen a Snuggie to know how comfortable and warm it is, it's impossible for me to imagine what a dog would think of such a thing. I am under the impression though that dogs should not be dressed up. As warm as these things may be it's hard to imagine that a dog would actually appreciate having one of these for his or herself. However silly of an idea it may seem, Snuggie fans my find this to be a must have for their pets. Just look at this little guy, couldn't be more comfortable could he?
Shirts are something we wear every day. We sometimes spend hours looking for new shirts that look amazing and help us stand our from our peers. But can a shirt be more than just a shirt? I mean, can't we make our clothes be more than just clothes? Well some of the guys with ThinkGeek have come up with a few great shirts that are definitely more fun than your every day bought at JCPenny's T-shirt ever was.
We go about our daily business singing to ourselves or sometimes humming along to the radio, but its nothing like the movies. In the movies, dramatic music can almost always be heard; running from a bomb, seducing the evil lady spy, or celebrating that the galaxy was just saved. Are you jealous yet? If so, then have I found the shirt for you! The Personal Soundtrack Shirt from ThinkGeek has a speaker attached to the shirt that allows you to play a number of preloaded sounds, or lets you load some of your own to play as you move through your day. You can even hook up your iPod to the shirt so you can play a different song for any mood you're in.
For the geek on the go, trying to pick up a wireless signal can be a huge pain. Pull out the laptop, turn in circles, hoping to get a signal... but nothing. You try and try but you just cant seem to find a good signal anywhere! Well put that laptop down until you know you can find a signal. Now with the Wi-Fi Dectector Shirt, you woln't have to keep checking your laptop every 5 minutes to see if theres a signal, you can just look down at your shirt. When you've got a signal, the shirt starts to light up, and when there isn't one... the shirt looks plain and dull, just like your life without the internet. If shirts aren't your thing, they also have a hat that does the same job!
You can find these shirts and more Here.
Ever find yourself walking down a long dark street at night with your girlfriend and feel the urge to burst into your own rendition of MJ's Thriller? (The video seems to have some clutter about it, but it was the best quality I was finding) Maybe you just like zombies so much you wish you could be one. Either way, there is now a shirt the help make these dreams a reality. To help promote the new Resident Evil game, Capcom has been giving out reversible shirts at Comic-Con. The shirt reads "Let your darkside out," and when you feel like releasing your inner zombie, you pull the front of the shirt up and over your head, to reveal your zombie face!
Do you hear what I see? These Oakley THUMPs seem like something almost right out of a James Bond film. No, they don't have a camera in them and no they can't blow things up, but they can play your favorite jams. The built in MP3 player can hold up to a 1gig of music. It's no iPod, but it's one less thing to carry on you for those early morning jogs. Plus they look good to impress the cheerleaders during those sunny football practices (Clemson and Husker players recieved these as a gift from the 2008 Gator Bowl).
Yup, that's right, flasks on your feet or rather flasks IN your Reef Dram Sandals! Headed out to party but want to bring your own "flavor" to add to your drinks? Well now you can, or at least you could. Reef no longer has these available on their site, however Amazon did look as if they were still selling them. I would imagine that many kids have gotten into some trouble for trying to sneak alcohol into school events and such, so maybe these were discontinued. It's a neat idea though, to be able to carry around a little emergency drinking water with you in case you were to be stranded somewhere.
The Snuggie, for those who aren't familiar with it, is a wearable blanket. All blankets are wearable in a sense, but the Snuggie has built in sleeves for your arms. No more pulling the blanket up and down to get your hands out to grab or hold things, you can stay nice and warm wrapped up in your blanket with your arms free to do your bidding.
A long long time ago, when I was young, there were two really cool kinds of shoes. Those Reeboks with the pumps, and the LA Lights that would flash when you walked. Now that we are older, we spend less time worrying about how cool our shoes look, right? Not exactly, but we have found ways to make them a bit more useful to us.
BrightFeet Lighted Slippers are just one such example. They've taken your plain old boring slipper and added LED lights to them to help see in the dark. No longer will you knock things off the wall trying to find a light switch or stub your toe on the dresser while you look for the bathroom. They aren't just awesome though, they are smart too! The LEDs are activated when you put your feet into them and it's dark enough to trip the sensors, just like some new nightlights.
