April Fool’s 2020: We Want to Help You Feel Better

It’s time for the annual tradition of April Fool’s Day gags here at SBTB. I know so many people dislike April Fool’s Day, and heaven knows there is not a lot to joke about right now.

But this year, I thought, why not distill the timeless goodest-ness of our favorite reading material into physical blanket form?

Only instead of weighted blankets, we have…Smart Bitches Weightless Blankets. Yup, we want to take some of that stress off your shoulders for a bit.

We’ve worked with our team of furry helpers to create these, too. Who better to assist with creating soothing accessories, right? Our team of furry experts took the essential properties of reading and snoozing and embedded those properties into blankets that will allow you floating moments of peace and tranquility.

And you deserve rest, tranquility, and another nap.

Amanda’s cat, Linus, was in charge of product testing and quality control, and can attest that the Smart Bitches Weightless Blankets are extremely suitable for extended napping.

We hope this gave you a bit of a smile today.

Want to look back at some of our past April Fool’s editions? Here are a few of my favorites:

In 2019, we debuted Smart Butchers, Trashy Books – we have The Meats!

Back in 2016 we made snack box subscriptions, including one for you and one for your pet. (Now, with businesses like Bark Box, that’s actually a thing! That’s hilarious.)

We’ve fallen in love with rabbits, and  made our own social media network in 2014 complete with hoax-detection technology (wow, wish that had been real).

Smart Bitches wearable - a black wide bracelet with a screen on the face that tracks pages read, podcast time left, and money saved on deals. At the bottom is a STOP TIME button
Ah, the Smart Bitches Smart Watch!

And one of my all-time most-favorite April Fool’s Day?

Our 2015 Time-stopping wearable device that doubles as a reader, pedometer, page counter, audio device, sale alarm, and timekeeper.

We’ll be back next year with more silliness, but until then, Happy April, folks.

See you next year!
