L remembers when she first learned of the now infamous "blanket with sleeves"-- her friend GF was going to buy this 'Swanket' for his girlfriend. Always the giver of gifts that had a purpose, he tried to convince L of its usefulness. L, on the other hand, thought it was just one of the silliest things she had ever heard of! "Swanket? heh heh heh! Mom! Guess what GF is giving his girlfriend for Christmas!! A blanket with sleeves!!! That, and a flashlight!!"
And now, the nation has been swept away by the backwards bathrobe, also know as the Snuggie (not forgetting the "Designer Snuggie" in hot animal prints1), and, L, has been put in her little place. (Over 4 million of them have sold! That's over $80 million in revenue!)
Well, don't let L's foolishness stop you from checking Brookstone's version of the Snuggie, the n•a•p® Comfy Ultra-Plush Blanket with Sleeves.
L has definitely touched those n•a•p® blankets when she's been in Brookstone and they're definitely cuddle-worthy!
Just think: you, a toasty beverage, a highlighter, and your Constitutional Law casebook.
All month long, until October 31, 2009, Brookstone will dedicate 10 percent of sales from each n•a•p® Comfy Ultra-Plush Blanket with Sleeves in Pink (retail price: $39.95) to Breast Cancer Network of Strength. Brookstone is running the program in all 315 stores nationwide, including its 50-plus locations at U.S. airports, and online at www.Brookstone.com.
1. L hopes you picked up on the sarcasm she used as she typed "designer".

Since you put "designer" in quotation marks, people who did not pick up on the sarcasm are cretins.
