Sorry this isn’t an AIbU put posting for traffic. A few years ago I was given a very thick Sherpa blanket that is so cosy. Even the cat fights us for a shot with it!!!! My kid are really cold in their rooms and I wanted to get a thick blanket for them. Does anyone know of a thick decent one that is reasonably priced. £25ish?
thanks

If you won't find sherpa you like, I am a massive fan of "mink blankets". You could find them in many asian, middle eastern and balkan shops I think. They are amazing and really keep warm. I have 3 (brought from abroad).

I've been looking for one of these for years! I remember using these abroad and didn't know what they were thank you! They're lovely and so warm aren't they.

I know, I loved them so they have a specific name? I'm looking for a heavy one just like they use in the Middle East in winter.

Yes. Mink blankets. If you've got a big street market nearby I'd bet the bedding traders will be selling them

Just had a look on eBay. Search for Heavy mink blanket. Loads for sale

Mink blankets all the way, you can get all sorts of patterns. We got ours from the market.

This is my "brand".
Remember to get double layer one. That's the lovely heavy ones.

Lands End have lovely throws, some velour ones with faux sheepskin linings. Can have them monogrammed for £3.50 too. January sale will be your best bet though, they go half price then. I won't be swooping as I've bought them for everyone I know and each of my sofas have 2, ready for cold days ie now.
