Lakeland gadget that costs PENNIES to run slashed my heating bill overnight and transformed my living room instantly

After trying a Lakeland gadget that heats up almost immediately and transformed my living room in seconds, I'll never need a hot water bottle or electric blanket again, and I certainly won't be putting the central heating on now..

I was first attracted to Lakeland's Dreamland Fallow Deer Faux Fur Heated Throw because of how it looks. It's a statement piece, and instantly elevates any living room or bedroom.

It looks so gorgeous, nobody would ever know it's a heated blanket. Lakeland has three different heated faux fur designs. Shoppers can choose from the Dreamland Alaskan Husky Faux Fur Heated Throw, the Dreamland Deluxe Zebra Faux Fur Electric Heated Throw, and my personal favourite, the Dreamland Fallow Deer Faux Fur Heated Throw.

Lakeland's Dreamland Fallow Deer Faux Fur Heated Throw is currently reduced down from £129.99 to £119.99, and I'll be honest with you, it is worth every single penny. The blanket is made from super soft faux fur, which is so warm, you actually don't even need to turn it on to get cosy.

But when you do turn it on, it's magical. It makes you feel as though you're in a warm and cosy chalet with the fire on in the background - absolutely blissful.

The blanket heats up almost instantly, and uses Intelliheat+ technology to monitor and adjust temperature - meaning you never have to worry about overheating. Its Auto-shut off timer means you can go to sleep with it on without any safety fears, or the worry that you'll wake up dripping with sweat.

There's also six seperate temperature settings so you can choose exactly how warm you want to be. The top setting has a quick 5-minute heat up, but as soon as you turn it on it's warm.

I've not yet tried to wash my blanket, but the fact its machine washable is a huge bonus. A big problem with electric blankets is that you can't wash them when they've been used - which is a massive turn off for me.

But the Lakeland Dreamland Fallow Deer Faux Fur Heated Throw has been made so you can keep it clean. This makes for a brilliant investment, as it means it will last for years.

The blanket will also help to slash your heating bills overnight. It saved me a significant amount as it cost a matter of pennies to run when I went to bed, versus the cost of central heating.

You can buy the Lakeland Dreamland Fallow Deer Faux Fur Heated Throw for £119.99 instead of £129.99 for a very limited time on the Lakeland website here.
