It may be warm outside this week, but as we head into November, we’re expecting temperatures to plummet which means it’ll become more and more tempting to whack that heating on.
One item in particular from Oodie has proven to be extremely popular amongst savvy shoppers, who say they ‘haven’t put the heating on once’ since purchasing the brand’s wearable hooded blankets - but they don’t come cheap, retailing at £69.
However, those looking for a more affordable option are in luck as we’ve spotted a funky animal print dupe on Matalan that’ll set you back just £19. There’s even a ‘ mini me ’ option too starting from £13, so you can match with your little one - how cute!
Like Oodie’s version, Matalan’s ‘Long Snuggle Pyjama Top’ boasts soft flannel fleece on the outside and warm sherpa fleece on the inside to keep you nice and cosy when those frosty mornings arrive.
It also features a large hood and a roomy kangaroo pocket to keep your hands warm.
The cosy essential is already a hit with shoppers too, amassing over 50 five star reviews and receiving an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 on the Matalan website.
One delighted customer, who left a review, said: “Bought as a present for my daughter in law’s birthday, she’s delighted with it and in her own words has been living in it since.”
A second shopper wrote: “Bought this for the colder nights to keep warm at home. It’s lovely and comfy, I absolutely love it.”:
While a third said: “I’m so impressed, it keeps you so warm - I don't need the heating on when I’m wearing it.”
The adult size hooded blanket has proven to be so popular that it’s already sold out in two sizes, however you can still snap it up in a size XS and S - but don’t wait around.
For your little one, the ‘ mini me ’ version is available in sizes; 4-6 years for £13, or 7-13 years for £15.
