After seeing our heating bills for December and January after daring to put the heating on for a couple of hours a day, we’ve knocked the thermostat right down and are doing things the old fashioned way - hot water bottles, candles and the all-the-rage oversized hoodie blankets that continue to take the nation by storm.
I’ve grown quite the collection of these over the past 12 months, including an affordable Dreamscene one that’s only £13.99 on Amazon, as well as a weighted one from Online Home Shop, retailing at £26, which I wear in rotation with my snuggly dressing gown.
But quite often I’ve still found myself feeling the cold, and wondered if these sherpa fleece wearable blankets are a matter of ‘you get what you pay for’, with some brands costing up to £100. And I think you probably do.
