Baby Snuggie in a Swing = Great Moments in Parenting History

This little Snugglette relaxes in his Snuggie, while swinging in his baby swing. His expression says it all. "Put down that camera and get me out of this swing" or something to that affect.

I'm a Little Snuggie ... err... Teapot

"I'm a little Snuggie,
Warm and Cozy,
Here is my box,
Booklight burned out!"

(to the tune of "I'm a Little Tea Pot")

Snuggie Sighting in Jedidiah Clothing Commercial

The Snuggie is so hot, other companies are giving them free advertising, showing the blanket with sleeves in their own commercials (I suppose in an attempt to be relevant and grab onto some of the Snuggies magic marketing powers, and get spread around by gullable blog owners such as myself). The Snuggie gets more air time than the Jedidiah Clothing. You cannot help be drawn in by the uncorking of the Complimentary Booklight. Resistance is futile. Score another win for the Snuggie.

Watchmen Snuggie Sightings - Call for Submissions

Ok, I'm going to just put this out there, and I'm sure this will spawn copycats claiming an original thought. But who cares? Here is a call for submissions from Mr. Snuggie Sightings direct to you. I'm breaking that fourth wall and reaching out to Snuggie Nation, extended a blanketed arm of welcome, telling you what will get you on this site (top of the scroll on Friday morning).

Here tis...I would like to have a multitude of Snuggie enthusiasts dress up as their favorite Watchmen characters, while tying in the Snuggie. You can either be an individual, or you can do a group shot. In this particular opportunity, working in the ShamWow for the Silk Spectre II character (the female character in Yellow and Black) would be classic. If done right, this would likely be huge. Refer to the Brook in Life & Style Weekly Magazine post for an example of a Snuggie Sighting from this website landing someone in a major magazine. (And just so you know, there are huge national and international media announcements coming in the next 2 weeks related to this site, and the SnuggiePubCrawls.com site. So if you do something epic, you could definitely get launched into the cultural jet stream.)

Here are a lot of Watchmen images to inspire you. Get creative and lets see if we can pull this off. This would need to be on the site sometime Thursday, or Friday at the latest, to coincide w/the movie debut.

Don't Cry Over Forgotten Milk ... or How Your Mother Met the Snuggie

This is a follow up to the Father Reflects on Where the Milk Run Went Wrong posting.

The Three Snugglettes

These 3 boys caused their old man to forget the milk, coming home instead with a lot of As Seen on TV Goodness - specifically a Snuggie, a ShamWow, and AquaGlobes.

The dad was worried his wife would not take the news of the forgotten milk well, so he quickly wrapped her in the cozy warmth of the Snuggie. All was well, and ironically the Snuggie commercial unspooled in the background on the TV.

This mother hugged her kids while the dad excused himself to grab the camera and lower the thermostat 10 degrees, so as to lower the heating bill (since the commercial reminded him of this helpful tip).

And, in an attempt to dispel those ugly Internet rumors, these pics should prove once and for all that the Snuggie does not produce static.

comScore Scores on SnuggieSightings.com

So I ran across an excellent article by Sarah Radwanick on comscore.com. She covers the popularity of the Snuggie, and is cool enough to be pictured reading and typing on a laptop at the same time. Sarah could not do this in a soul-crushing, restrictive blanket.

What drew me to your article Sarah (she will find this of interest, from a comScore-ish perspective) was a Google Alert that triggered for the term "Celebrity Snuggie Sightings". Although she didn't point to this post about the Today Show Snuggie Sightings, I was jazzed over this particular word choice "Snuggie Sightings" in her article. It was of interest to me because back on January 10 when I had the idea for this site, I performed a search on Google for the term "Snuggie Sighting" and there was Nada. To see this term being used out in the jet stream of our culture is kind of cool.

Thanks, Sarah, for letting me post your pic. I'm tagging this as a "Celebrity Snuggie Sighting" so when someone searches in the future, you'll be right up there with Al Roker. Awesome. And seriously, great article (I'm way into Search Marketing). And just so you know, Sarah, since this site's inception, traffic from Search Engines has been 14.52% (I am surprised by how low this is). And yes, I'm totally trying to get Sarah to write about my site, because 46.42% of my traffic comes from referring sites.

Nothing helps an outfit come together quite like the Snuggie. These ladies from the University of Miami, Ohio are ready for the runwalk in their Snuggies (don't trip over them!)

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to be free from the blanket,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the sleeveless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my ceramic duck beside the golden door.”
