I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone snuggled under a blanket moan, “I need a Snuggie!” when they’ve gone to reach for the remote, and it’s got me thinking. A Snuggie is a completely legitimate gift idea this season. Hear me out – my reasons are fivefold.

The comfort factor.
If you’ve dismissed the Snuggie as a joke, maybe you need to try one on. You probably haven’t felt comfort like it since you were in the womb.

The element of comedy.
Everyone loves the hilarious Snuggie commercials, so this is the perfect gift for any guy on your Christmas list who can’t stop quoting infomercials that come on during the football game (“Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life.”)

Tina Fey also immortalized the Snuggie as the “Slanket” in 30 Rock, when Selma Hayek burns Liz with, “Lemon, isn’t there a slanket somewhere you should be filling with your farts?” The sheer hilarity of the Snuggie makes it something awesome to find under the tree.

The dog connection.
Thankfully, the Snuggie is no longer exclusively for people, which means you can get one for your dog, or for someone else’s dog for that matter! Check out how regal this thing makes a daschund look.

For the loveable party animal in your life.
This is perfect for your guy friend who always ends up crashing on your couch without a blanket, or the dude who’d like nothing better than to roll into a Christmas party wrapped in a Slanket.

Don’t forget about your chilly but penny-pinching grandparents.
I don’t know about your grandparents, but mine stubbornly refuse to turn the heat on until it’s about 20 below. Snuggle your beloved old folks up in fleece, and they’ll still have their hands free to read the paper or play cribbage.
