At a certain age, kids no longer think it's "cool" to snuggle with their parents on the couch -- even during family movie night.

But, the allure of plushy blankets and furry pajamas can easily win over even the most too-cool of tweens.

Just promise not to Instagram it and totally embarrass them.

What kid can resist the allure of snuggling with a mermaid? These crochet blankets can cost between $100 and $200 and take about eight weeks to make.

Spend $40 the right way by purchasing a siamese slanket -- a pseudo Snuggie that is large enough to fit two grown adults.
