I’ve just got one, absolutely love it. So nice to sit watching telly at night under the lovely snuggly thing. The best thing is.....so cheap to use. Anyone else have one?

Me and I agree that they're fab. According to my lovely FIL they use very little electricity too!

OrigamiOwl · 30/12/2020 15:58

Yes! One of the best things I've bought in 2020!

OvertiredandConfused · 30/12/2020 15:59

I love mine too - use it on my knee whilst working from home

fairway21 · 30/12/2020 15:59

Yes they are so cosy and a brilliant money saver.

dementedma · 30/12/2020 15:59

Yup. Been a godsend while working from.home during lockdown

Butchyrestingface · 30/12/2020 16:00

I have two - one for the couch, one for the bed. I don't even get below the duvet anymore at night, just cover myself with the throw and Bob's your uncle.

Bathroom12345 · 30/12/2020 16:01

Me too. Have one upstairs when I am working and one downstairs when watching TV. If one broke I would buy another one to replace it that day!

Yes, they are very cheap to run.

ExpensivelyDecorated · 30/12/2020 16:01

Yes, we bought one last winter and were always fighting over it so we had to buy a second this year.

supernanmam · 30/12/2020 16:17

I’m going to buy another, can’t believe how good they are.

Me and one of the dogs are cuddled on/under one now. Totally brilliant

Oysterbabe · 30/12/2020 16:26

I love mine. I have it over my knees while I'm tucked away working in the spare room.

confusednortherner · 30/12/2020 16:26

I keep looking at these and have Xmas vouchers, which ones are good please?

Oysterbabe · 30/12/2020 16:28

Ah I see using it while WFH is popular Grin

HamSandwichKiller · 30/12/2020 16:30

Can someone provide a link to a good one that isn't some weird shiny fabric? All the ones I've seen in my limited research are a bloody odd colour

PickAChew · 30/12/2020 16:30

Yes. I bought one, this year. In pink so I didn't have to fight for it :o

BashfulClam · 30/12/2020 16:30

I’m under mine right now. Got it last Christmas as I always feel cold so it helps a lot. I remember last winter getting dished walking from the train station and I can’t in and undressed the. Got beneath the warm blanket. Loved it

bloodyhairy · 30/12/2020 16:31

I bought one earlier this month and really love it! I'd like it to be a little bigger, as it can sometimes sit a bit funny due to the wire! But it's great. Good to know that they're cheap to run, as I hadn't looked into that. Mine has a timer too 👍

PickAChew · 30/12/2020 16:32

This one. Really soft and the colours are nice

@HamSandwichKiller this is mine. It’s not shiny it’s sort of chenille

I have decided that I need one of these in my life... please can you share where you brought yours from.

bloodyhairy · 30/12/2020 16:35

Here's a link to mine. It was only £25 and comes in a few non-offensive colours, including cream and grey!

I have 2 of the one posted above from amazon... one for bed and one for the sofa..... Best things ever! Used daily and wash well too

bloodyhairy · 30/12/2020 16:35

Hope that helps someone x

TheYearOfSmallThings · 30/12/2020 16:36

I agree - I got one for Christmas last year, and I was like "when am I ever going to use this?!"

But it makes wfh a million times better. I like to keep the room cool, but have toasty legs and feet.

bloodyhairy · 30/12/2020 16:37

Free delivery on mine too Smile
