Staying toasty warm this holiday season could mean donning a working fireplace sweater that will look as good as it feels.
Created by Mark PPPPPP, the fireplace sweater might be ugly, but it is exceptionally festive. The sweater is created using a regular sweater that has a portion of the front cut out with an iPad placed inside. The tablet plays a continuous loop of a burning fire that is available for download from the app store. Add a few festive trimmings and you're sure to be the center of attention wherever you go. However, seeing that the fireplace sweater isn't very portable you might have to limit the distance you can travel; leaving the party might not be an option.
