Shoppers are rushing to Dunelm to pick up a popular oversized blanket hoodie to keep them cosy and warm as the weather turns frosty.
Scotland is in the midst of another cold snap, as certain parts of the country have been hit with bone-chilling temperatures as low as -15C and the threat of snowfall. Given the current cost of living crisis, many households might be reluctant to pop on the heating to avoid getting slapped with a massive energy bill.
One such method to stave off the chill is to wear an oversized blanket and Dunelm is currently selling one at an affordable price - and it is much cheaper than the bestselling Oodie.
The Teddy Oversized Blanket Hoodie is designed to help you "stay super warm and cosy this winter" and is available in five different colours - blush, cream, silver, charcoal and black.
Wearable blankets and hoodies saw a surge in popularity this year, after money-saving guru Martin Lewis advised households to "heat the person, not the home" in a bid to help keep costs down.
Priced at just £18, this pocket-friendly oversized hoodie is a more affordable option than the Oodie, with a similar version from the Australian brand costing up to £64.
Over 300 shoppers have flocked to the retailer's website to heap praise on the oversized hoodie for helping them to keep warm without ever needing to pop on the heating.
"The perfect antidote to the cost of living crisis! Bought as a Xmas gift and ended up buying four more for extended family. Really warm and perfect to work from home in as the sleeves are elasticated. My parents haven't had their fire on since getting theirs. Wash really well and survive the tumble dryer too", exclaimed one shopper.
"I love my oversized hoodie teddy blanket. It is saving me money on my heating bills. It is lovely and warm. In fact I have bought another one so I can wear one, wash one so I’m not without one. They are great, and plenty big enough. When my husband was ill I bought one from another outlet but it was so tight, it was useless. These from dunelm are fantastic. I have no problem recommending them", praised a second.
"Great product,nice and warm and so soft. Would highly recommend, definitely don't need the heating on", commented a third.
You can purchase the Teddy Oversized Blanket Hoodie for £18 from the Dunelm website.
