Some people just do not believe that a puffy coat could really matter that much. I think I have a way to illustrate the point:
Space Bags.You know the commercial. You know you really want one. Put sweaters, blankets, or coats in the special zip loc bag. Suck the air out of it with a vacuum hose. Watch it shrink down and resemble a crumpled leaf. Slide it under the bed and voila, no more puff.
Here's a thirty-second demonstration. After the holidays I swear I'm going to get some at Bed Bath & Beyond and record my own demonstration. If anyone else gets to it first, please let me know and link it to my Facebook or to the comments section!
