JML now selling the Snuggie in Ireland

faceman

I saw an ad on the telly last night for The Snuggie which is now being sold in Ireland via JML for €15.

Thing is that Pennys have been selling "Coach Cosy" for some time now for €8. its the exact same thing for a cheaper price.

Basq

Oh here we go.. here comes the "Slanket Nazies"!

"The product in Penneys is not as good as The Slanket.. it's not as soft!"

I have the one from Penneys in brown.. tis grand!

faceman

Ive had 2 from Pennys (The dog ate one!) and have noticed no difference from the slanket. (Altho i dont own a slanket but me sister's friend does)

Whole?! Christ, that's impressive!

I can imagine the conversation:

Ron Burgundy faceman: "What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... slanket? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing. How 'bout we get you in your p.j.'s and we hit the hay. "

I have one of the Penneys "Couch Cosys" too! Don't get much of a chance to use it though:( I'd say there's little or no difference between the slanket and athe penneys one, I had a feel of a snuggie in heatons and could feel no extra softness:pac::pac:

(sniggers at Basq having a couch cosy)

_Whimsical_

JML don't actually sell the Slanket they sell the Snuggie .
I'm sure it's a fine distinction as the above posters have said. Just thought I'd mention it for the sake of any "Slanket nazis" though.

I'm wearing my Penney's one right now! Me mam has the JML one its a bit softer but thats about it

Noffles

Where can I get one?

They sound stupid as ****e but the missus wants one?

Do-more

When we were on holidays in the summer the kids borrowed cosy blanket things which were more like a polar fleece poncho with arms definitely not these blanket with arms type thing.

Anyone know what does type ones are called and where I might get one?

Thanks

D-M.

Its a good thing I didnt set up the group to meet wimmenz!

I believe the bargain shop in Arnots had them, not exactly sure, but I think it was 20 for 2, and they're the JML ones

mcaul

The big difference between the JML one & Penneys one is the JML one has to pay for expensive TV advertising and the penneys one doesn't.

otherwise its the same material doing the same job and as I doubt any (maybe a few) will be going outside the house in them, colour, fit & looks don't matter a jip.

There is a shop in the Square(Tallaght) X factory selling Snuggies for 8 euro. I think they they make people look like their in some sort of cult .

Ruu_Old

I prefer the Slanket!

Shiminay

I'm in the states at the moment (Orlando) and they're selling the Snuggie for $10 in 7 Elevens My brother picked one up for our mother who's one of those permanently cold people.

This made me chuckle audibly.

Yeah I agree, makes people look like they're in a cult, or in Star Wars

I saw the JML one and was seriously dissapointed.
Is the slanket not a poncho type garment?
JML to me was pants, no better than a hospital gown!:)

The best one is in Bcool the gadget shop but most expensive at €35

TomCo

Can't you just put a dressing gown on backwards?

Jesus, I thought I clicked on the ladies lounge by mistake.:eek:

Get a grip lads. I suspected some boardsies were gay...but not all.:p

KC JONES

Why would you need one in a heated house? I saw ads for one of them which said it would keep your hands warm from icy cold or similar words. icy cold in modern houses?

I got my Mam the Snug Rug in Argos... was 30 quid! Never knew of the 8 euro one in Pennys...

And 5% back with Bethrifty.ie

Ordered one a week ago and it arrived in about 3 or 4 days

griffdaddy

That's shockingly expensive for such a gimicky thing, they sell them at the markets here in Amsterdam for 6 quid

Oracle

Polite notice to those who have joined the Slanket thread late. You can get them for €8 in Penneys. There's no need to pay €30 online or travel to Amsterdam and pay €6. Even with Ryanair thats gonna cost you more than €2 ..... :rolleyes:

That's very witty and all, but i was clearly talking about the person who posted the online price and was making the point that they can be bought for much cheaper from a multitude of places, one of which is Penneys, another of which is a market in Amsterdam. Clearly I wasn't advocating the latter, rather I was criticising the online price.

Oracle

I agree the online price is crazy .....

Tesco are selling the snuggie

LMAO again! Can we not just say they are always for the ladies and I'd never wear one, despite her having bought a JML one and 'hangs head in shame' I used it last night.:rolleyes:

How about a genie head massager? (£3.53)

And a pair of vibrating massaging slippers? (£9.25)

I have heard that the Genie massager can be used on other parts of the body but cannot work out where and how:eek::eek: (or maybe I dreamed that:()

Oh and throw in a box-set of Ally mcBeal or some such show that she might like and she'll be a happy (vibrating) woman

Headshot, Atlantic DIY also sell the Dri Buddie, plus loads more JML goodies (if you're into that kind of thing)

I went to purcahse that actualy a couple of days ago.. it wasn't possible to ship to ireland. BUT you can get the electronic one shipped over which is a couple of quid dearer

:(I know, tried myself yesterday and they wouldn't ship. It seems like a very random item not to ship though

JML also sell the PedEgg, it's a hard skin remover/grater for feet, but I guess they wouldn't sell many calling it that. JML sell these direct and through chemists for €15 to €20.

I thought I got a bargain getting one of these for $3.23 or about €2.20 from DealExtreme. But they're cheaper in Guineys at €2, and they're in the original PedEgg packaging. Better than DealExteme, who send you just the PedEgg in a jiffy bag, although they do delivery it free worldwide.

Good product, grate value, from DealExtreme and Guineys!

I had a look at that couch cosy in Penny's today. Terrible fabric, feels very coarse and light in my opinion.
