With energy bills set to surge from October 1, Online Home Shop has broadened its winter warmer selection, offering homeowners options to stay toasty without cranking up the heating.
The new range is packed with goods designed to ‘combat the frosty weather’, including electric blankets, thrifty 3p-an-hour hoodie blankets, and ‘ultra-plush’ bedding selections.
In the midst of Ofgem’s price hikes, as the standard yearly energy bill will increase by £149 starting today (October 1), under the new energy price cap, savvy shoppers can find solace at the Online Home Shop (OHS).
The OHS Heated Fluffy Electric Blanket has seen a mighty slash in price this week, down over 20% and now on sale for just £35.
Happy customers have left glowing reviews, with one particularly satisfied buyer declaring: “I love this product as it saves me putting my heating on as much.”
Another excited customer commented: “Extremely happy with my throw. Instant heat and soooo cosy! I’m buying a second one as a gift!” With all feedback received so far being four stars or better, the products are certainly hitting the mark.
Additionally, the cost of the OHS Sherpa Lined Electric Foot Warmer has been reduced significantly by more than 20%, currently listed at an affordable £25, ensuring warm extremities during chillier nights, reports Lancs Live.
There’s even a hefty discount on the OHS Electric Hoodie Blanket, nearly cut by 40% to a mere £20.
A pleased purchaser enthused: “I absolutely love how snuggly and warm my heated hoodie is. So worth the price to stay warm in this season with soaring energy prices – you don’t feel the discomfort of a cold house and it’ll save a fortune on heating bills!”
Another customer wrote: “This is literally my new favourite thing in the world! I am always cold and with the heating bills rising like this too this is like the best thing ever.”
However, one shopper had reservations, noting: “Warm and cosy, unfortunately I didn’t realise the garment required a power bank which was an extra £9.99 plus postage. I have also had to buy another longer power cable to enable heating from the mains.”
B&Q is also offering an Ultra Plush Sienna Hoodie Blanket at just £14.49. Amazon’s Trekki Blanket Hoodie might be another option, retailing at £26.99.
And for gadget-free snugness, OHS’s Ribbed Faux Fur Bedding is perfect for staving off the chill all night snag a double set for either £28 or £30. A satisfied shopper reported: “This duvet cover is so warm and cosy!”
Another exclaimed: “I’m so impressed with these duvet covers. I bought two. They are simply gorgeous, super soft and going to keep me lovely and warm this winter.” To date, every rating has been glowing, with no less than four stars.
If you’re on the hunt for an additional stylish yet affordable layer, check out the OHS Cable Knit Throw, available for a mere £15. A top-notch review reads: “This throw is gorgeous! Good weight and thickness and looks expensive. Looks great on my sofa ready for the cooler weather.”
Another said: “I bought it when it was on offer although I would have paid full price too.”
Bargain hunters may also enjoy the OHS Faux Fur Adjustable Hot Water Bottle Belt, perfect for keeping snug on the move. It is now available for a mere £8, slashed from its original price.
Ideal for easing aching muscles or simply to ward off the evening chill, this innovative wrap-around design promises ‘ultimate comfort, no matter where you are’. The product has not garnered any online reviews so far.
In other news, Dunelm has been tempting customers with a compact 2.5ft hot water bottle that has been lauded for its ability to ‘stay warm for hours’ and ‘heat up my bed instantly’. Available for £14, shoppers can snap up the Teddy Bear Charcoal Long Hot Water Bottle.
Amazon, too, is offering a Homealexa Long Hot Water Bottle at £13.60, down from its initial £15.99 price tag. Likewise, Boots is retailing a Long Hot Water Bottle at £16.99, with customers rating it highly, at 4.6 stars out of five.
One delighted customer shared: “Bought for my other half who struggles with hip n back problems. The extra length gives heat all the way around both hips. Excellent.” Meanwhile, Anne commented: “Good purchase. Worth the money. It stayed warm for long.”
A satisfied reviewer stated: “Very long and good for keeping warm.” However, some feedback was less positive, with one consumer warning: “Takes a lot of water. Splashes back easily, be careful. Emptying can be hazardous.”
Another disappointed buyer pointed out: “Nice item in the picture but actually arrived looking tatty.”
Commenting on the new range, Ashley Furness, trend expert at Online Home Shop, said: “We’ve expanded our Winter Warmers range because we know how important it is to give families the option to heat themselves, not their whole home.
“With heating bills on the rise, we’re slashing our prices to make our Winter Warmers accessible to as many people as possible. From neutral colourways to bright Christmas print, there’s something for everyone.”
