    Hey guys,

    At the risk of sounding ridiculous, I need to get my hands on a snuggie in Limerick! It's a birthday present for my girlfriend who loves them.

    Anyone know of anywhere in the city that still does the real one, or the slanket?

    Thanks for the quick reply :)

    Tried them both on Tuesday, and unfortunately they've sold off all their stock. Thinking of just biting the bullet and buying one online!

    I have seen those things in Pennys hanging up on the discount rails. Heavily discounted because "normally" people don't want them. :p

    They don't have in the city, but I might give the crescent a call. Found a knock-off 'snuggle' in one of the Indian shops in town, but it looks like it'd fall apart in my hands, and I can't find a single reference to it on the web :P Thanks a million guys :)

    Might be worth trying the Co-op store in Raheen.

    They had them before but I'm just not sure if they had the Snuggle or Snuggie Brand.

    Had the cheap nasty one that graduated to the Cats Kennel outside.

    If you're stuck, buy a robe and wear it backwards.

    It's essentially a blanket with sleeves. Sounds stupid, but they're actually quite comfortable....apart from the enormous amount of static they generate

    Tried one on once and went WTF!! exactly like wearing a dressing gown backwards but without being able to close it Horrid Horrid things that remind me
    of those paper gowns they give you going in for an operation in hospital.
