AIBU?
Blankets

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
Am I being unreasonable?

QVC have some Cozee home throws around the £30 range and the Cozee home range is excellent quality and very warm .

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.

Aw this made me happy😁
They also last years and years.

We got these from Mountain Warehouse to have over us in the living room, they’re fleece and really warm.

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.

Faux mink. ME asian shops with home stuff would have them here.
Or happily advise where to buy.
I had mine from inlaws abroad

Well DH said 100% available in Birmingham. Not much help probably 🙈

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
Themind · 10/12/2022 18:26
Mink blankets all the way, you can get all sorts of patterns. We got ours from the market.

Thanks I found some 😍 I love the ones Alibaba has but they don't have that store here.

I have a Kilburn and Scott Sherpa type blanket I was given as a present before going into hospital. It is lovely!

This is my "brand".
Remember to get double layer one. That's the lovely heavy ones.
Cheesuswithallama · 10/12/2022 18:47
Just to add, alibaba is awholesale. If you find another 200 people to share order with you can get good price🙈

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.
