Anyone Getting the Angel Wrap?

Kachina624 — Tue, 15 Nov 2016 06:10:33 GMT

HSN has a microfiber poncho sort or wrap as the TS today. It's oversized and comes in a bunch of pretty colors along with 2 pairs of matching cozy socks. No size needed so it would make a great gift.

My only complaint about these ponchos is that as soon as you get up to do something all that fabric is in your way. They are a hazard in the kitchen with those long flowy sleeves dangling over a stove flame or in food.

I bet teens would love these things.

Hmmm . .I can see the v-neckline shifting up and climbing over the shoulders of the vendor as she moves about. The back hem is dragging on the floor as the v has climbed up to the base of her neck in the last couple minutes.
Now she's shifted the big shapeless "wrap" back into place. This might work sitting still, but if she steps back onto her hem she could land on her duff.

I was thinking about getting one for my teenage daughter. She sits at her computer with a throw around her when it's cold. I thought this might work better. Still on the fence. I was wondering if anyone has tried them in the past. Like you say Kachina, I thought of the "teenage" angle.

I was given one of these as a gift and I loved it so much that I bought seven of them for the women in my family for Christmas last year. They loved them!! Because of how they button you don't have a problem with them slipping off or around. They stay put and when you go to get up the fabric is no problem at all. They are offering different colors this year but the ones last year were beautiful. They were neutral colors with the trim around them being in animal print. Amazing price for what they are also. They also wash and dry like a dream and look brand new with no piling or shrinking and they don't wrinkle all up either.

Evine has a much better version made by Cozelle. It has a zipper

No. I do not like the look of all that excess fabric. I am wearing a hoodie with zipper now which works well when I take the dog out. When cold, I like something I can zip or button up something like the TS will let cold air in.

I like a blanket when relaxing on the sofa.

Try a microfiber bed jacket. A friend gave me one several years ago because I froze while getting ready in the morning. I googled them the other day and came up with several.

They have been selling these things for the last couple of years. After they've sufficiently ran them into the ground, we won't see them anymore. LOL

I would have no use for something like this. They look like they would just get in the way and they look like they'd be a ball of static.

I have both of the Cozelle winter and summer weight. I put it on like a robe when I go let the dogs out first thing in the morning. But as soon as I go to the kitchen, I take it off because it gets in my way. This HSN thing looks much bigger, definitely just for lounging.

It doesn't appeal to me but I love the soft and cozy line. I have a few blankets and throws and ordered a few more items today.

Is the new TTV the same wrap as you have? I might get one for myself to keep warm at home this winter.

If they were sized I might get one for my mom but she is so tiny/short that I think this would be too much for her.

Re: Anyone Getting the Angel Wrap?

willdob3 — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 04:37:23 GMT

Oh, $3 off on the second one plus reduced shipping is getting me. I am getting the indigo for myself and the raspberry for Mom. If it is too big for her I'll have two. Or I might give it to someone else...

They just talked about how it is the same item they have sold befoe & how highly rated it is.

Yes, the one on Evine is the one I have. I'm loving the red plaid. It's not as long and voluminous as the one HSN featured. More practical for doing anything other than lounging.

@Kachina624 -

The red plaid really tempted me & I came close to ordering it for myself. The Raspberry one looks like it will go with my mom's colors in her apartment.

I have a Cozelle hooded robe from a year ago & it is nice, too.

I liked the color choices of the HSN one much better. The red plaid is the only Cozelle one I like.

@Lipstickdiva -

I agree that the color options for this one aren't very interesting. Not up to Evine's usual standards in that department. I'll be happy with indigo but I kind of wish I'd ordered the he plaid, too. I'm pretty sure it is only going to be worn around the house.

I must have really disliked the HSN one because I never even clicked to read about it online, did not catch any presentations, no clue what colors it came in. I don't even recall what it looked like.

MyGirlsMom — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 22:25:02 GMT

I have one that came from HSN, it came with a pair of socks. My sister gave it to me a few years ago and it washes well. I only use it when I'm watching television and take it off if I need to do something in the kitchen, etc.

I'm only 5' tall and there's no way the hem would fall so low I would trip on it.

I have one and it's great to wear sitting around watching TV or on days when I work from home and it's cold.

You're right, I would never wear this - or anything with loose sleeves - if I were cooking. But it's no problem if I want to get up and get a cup of coffee, grab something from across the room, or even bring the trashcan inside. (Our trash goes directly outside the front door, in a kitchen trash bin, not to the curb in a large container.) I don't think I would personally walk down a driveway to do it because I'm so short and it's HUGE on me. I saw Callie wearing the black with leopard one on the TS day and it actually looked elegant on her. She could get away with going out to get the paper in one. Mine is all turquoise and makes me look like a Muppet at me.
