I can think of a few people who'd like one of those for a Christmas present. 

The big question of course is whether it is cheaper, sorry what I meant to say was, it is more environmentally friendly to have everyone in the house wear one of these instead of putting the Central Heating on or lighting the log burner  Grin

I bought quite a few of the none electric ones and gave them as chrsitmas presents, no one complained, not sure if they ever use them, but they are warmer than a dressing gown.

The bloke in the picture looks like he's just managing to stop himself cracking up laughing!

Nice idea and all that - but I don't think it's very "me" somehow.... Grin

PS - I've just had a look at some of their other offerings, which put me very much in mind of the "Further Excellent Purchases" section at the thoroughly entertaining "The Weekly" website. I often complile my Christmas present wish list from this archive - which my sister finds quite exasperating!

yer right andy,
                he does look as though he has a dose of the sniggers.i guess he has been entertaining the shoot staff by whipping back the snuggie and flashing his black leather thong,(shoes i mean)

and out of left "nothing new under the sun" field... after the War, my old dad cut an electrically heated boiler suit (bomber crew issue, pale blue blanket material as I recall) and opened it into a sort of double image man-shaped electric blanket.

Set fire to the bed.
Boiler suit - not dad, though I'm sure he has his moments.
