As households throughout the UK struggle to cope with soaring energy prices, people are looking for cheap and easy ways to stay warm at home.
With the energy price cap set to rise to as much as £4,279 in January next year, small savings at home, paired with some simple, low-cost purchases could add up to significant savings across the year. Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis agrees, suggesting that the most efficient way to stay warm this winter is to ' heat the person not the home'.
To help you do this, deal of the day site Wowcher is selling clever personal heating items that can be used at home as well as when you are out and about. Wearing gloves is an obvious way to keep warm when the mercury plummets, but they can feel bulky and impractical.

These touchscreen thermal gloves, however are waterproof, windproof and suitable for use even when using your phone. With a specialist coating on the thumb, index finger and middle finger, they will keep your digits warm while still letting you scroll through your devices, and savvy shoppers can pick them up for just £7.99 on Wowcher, while stocks last.
Cold feet can also be uncomfortable but rather than reaching for the thermostat, there are specially designed items for sale that will help to boost circulation and keep your feet warm.
For example, these energy-saving heated foot warmer patches are surprisingly effective. Available in a pack of 10 for £10.99, you just shake the patch to wake the active ingredient, then enjoy up to eight hours of heat on each foot. Designed to be used between your socks and the inner sole of your shoe, each patch is disposable when finished with.
Another great way to keep your extremities warm is with these 4.5V electric heated socks that help to promote better circulation to protect your feet from the cold. Made from breathable cotton fabric, they will aim to keep your feet warm without making them feel sweaty.
Buyers can choose from the basic £15.99 option that comes with two battery packs, or opt for the upgraded three temperate electric socks for £21.99.
We also managed to track down some incredible Wowcher deals on heated unisex gilets that target the upper body to keep you warm in cold weather. Using a similar type of technology, USB-heated unisex vests can be worn as an extra layer between your coat and your clothing to generate heat on three specific areas of the upper body to help you stay toasty.
For relaxing at home, the website is selling an electric fluffy plush foot warmer that offers a modern take on the old-fashioned mono-slipper with a USB charger that heats up in minutes, and this cashmere and flannel USB heated blanket that uses just 7.5 watts of power to keep you warm in bed, on the sofa or while working from home.
