I really like the Slanket, probably because I often pad around our house with a blanket on my shoulders, shawl-style. (Pull the blanket over your head and imagine how you can scare the kids when you peep in their rooms at night!)
Bonus: use it to indulge your adult monk fantasies, then retire comfortably to your couch, no changing required.

It’s not cheap: tequila-flavored shaved ice (and the walk of shame back to your the sanctity of your own bedroom) will leave you spring broke, but certainly not spring broken.
I confess that I don’t understand the logic of ninja socks, beyond the fact that they are designed to fit into ninja boots. But if they propel me through the spider walk to Ninja Warrior heaven, then I’ll rock them everyday.
*Note: also useful for wearing with flip-flops to tourist destinations.
In our house, we listen to the radio on an actual radio, instead of receiving a feed through the internet or satellite. Our favorite radio show may not sound any better on this set, but Johnny Cash and Hank Williams sure will look pretty singing from my bookcase.

Place this little bank next to your Das Kapital money box, and your shelf just might explode from the irony.
